My dad showed me this beautiful video almost two years ago. He came into the living room where I was sitting and asked me to listen to this video. He said it was one of the most amazing things he had ever seen and started crying. He died 9 months ago and I finally found this again and listening to it makes me think about him and how much he loved music. Thank you for this.
I'm from Mexico. I played the guitar from age 15 to 29, 3 years ago I had a car accident and lost my left arm. I'm still looking for ways to play the guitar again. Listening to your music gives me a strange relief and a lot of hope. Thank you. Soy de México. Toqué la guitarra de los 15 a los 29 años, hace 3 años tuve un accidente automovilístico y perdí mi brazo izquierdo. Sigo buscando formas de volver a tocar la guitarra. Escuchar tu música me brinda un extraño alivio y mucha esperanza. gracias
@@Ember2168 a team made a small prosthesis for me, I must do the strumming with my stump. That means using the right hand for chords. I'm on it. If it doesn't work, I'll keep trying. Thanks ❤️
the first time I heard this song was just the other day. my buddy and I were out riding 3 wheelers in the woods and stopped in a field to watch the sunset. he put this song on as the thousands and thousands of fireflies came out. it was surreal... this is now one of my favorite songs. thank you so much for that moment
The sound is so rich and beautiful, yet haunting at the same time. If I were walking through the woods and heard this, I'd think an angel had appeared. You, sir, are incredibly talented.
"People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. No one dared. Disturb the sound of silence." Still one of the most poetic songs ever written. Even impacts as an instrumental. Thank you, sir, for a great cover!
@@JamieDupuisMusician Please, correct me if I'm wrong but this instrument has been around since ancient Greece in varying forms. Potentially even back to 2000 BCE but certainly during medieval times. The most familiar was the citole which wasn't fretted. Prior to the creation of the gittern. A variant of the lute... And, by the way, my father studied viola and my mother still plays the cello and the violin. Plus, the obligatory piano. I played french horn and listened to ELP and Rick Wakeman. I know a quality sound and this is it. Loved the strat!
Alexplorer I'm not sure if you would get any real reverb to speak of. I'm not sure, but he probably recorded it elsewhere and shot the video to match. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but that's often the way it's done.
Well, I do know RUclips and if it had ever occurred to me search for harp guitar I would have. I just happened across this video, and it's nice, and there you go. Good luck with your assessing somebody's intelligence on the basis of one short comment on RUclips.
Jamie, I am 71 years old.i just watched. You play )the sound of silence) on the harp guitar.1st time I've seen or heard of a harp guitar. It's beautiful & makes great music. I have faith. That you will master it in time. Thanks I will tune in often. God bless.george bowlby
Became a fan of the Moody Blues, and other bands, while in the Army in the early 70s. As most GIs would tell you this was our primary entertainment stationed overseas. Got married several years after I got out of the Army. Hired a local band to play at our wedding. Asked them to play this song while we were at the alter. Married now forty years, hearing you play this song takes me back to the alter, and puts tears in my eyes. Young man, you are a brilliant artist and composer! Thank-you for sharing your talent.
I'm 60 years old and I've been playing 49 years and I'm telling you now and she's one of the most beautiful things I've heard I played many many many beautiful things in my lifetime but there was always effects pedals involved but yes this has a life of its own
The number of times the frame changed in the beginning was the number of times he plucked the guitar, the fish eye or whatever effect that is, the bird’s eye view frame doesn’t make sense and the dramatic glance on the woods which is so cringy. I like the music I can listen to it but not watch the video
Thank you for your service! You will never know how many people appreciate you, because most of everyone is not vocal. So I will say it on their behalf. Thank You
@@LiberateAlberta1907 nobody asked for your opinion on my comment, and I couldn't give a shit what you find funny, so fuck off and mind your own business
Ariana Is queen Awesome! But know, Age, and how many instruments you can play does not make you an excellent musician, make sure you understand your instrument, or at least perfect one (have at least 1 main instrument). For example, music theory. Music theory, is the most important thing when learning instruments, well one of the most important things of course. If you just know how to play, but do not understand music theory, and how 7, dim, add, sus, power chords (the 5th), work, and how to use them. Then you have a lot to learn, also knowing how to find the key of a note is very important. Scales, etc. Now, why I said age doesn’t matter, I see this a lot. Every time there is a 8-13 year olds playing an instrument very well, people say wow, you are talented, half of the adults that play the instrument are not even as good as you. Age doesn’t matter, a 13 year old can learn for 2 years, another 30 year old will learn for 2 years. If they both put in dedication, and effort, they will probably be near the same skill, but it really depends on the person, people learn at different rates. So if you see someone saying, he is only 8-13 (one of those) give him a break. Tell them what I just said.
Stonewall Jackson Hm, I’m not sure what you mean by the bells sound, Ive been playing for 6 years, maybe it’s just your piano. I would get a keyboard 88keys, so you can customise the sound, but still have a real piano.
Awesome instrument and such a beautiful song thanks for sharing 👍 love different kind of instruments. I play 8 different instruments hammered dulcimer, dulcimer, mandolin, 6 and 12 string guitars, native american flute,organ and keyboards y The keyboard is a casio and is 35years oldfound at goodwill for 3.99
As a guitar player, I respect your passion and determination in playing such a unique and beautiful instrument. You sound amazing! Keep up the great work!

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence Songwriters: Paul Simon
Love listening to this instrument. It's somewhat rare, expensive and takes a talent to master it. Big positive is that you get three musicians for the price of one. Bass, guitar and harp. What a pleasure to listen.
This is magical! My late grandfather had one, yet I never heard him play it. For years, I tried to explain to people what it was, even though I never saw one! AMAAAAZZZZING!!!
Wow, what a gorgeous instrument that creates such a beautifully hypnotic sound. You're so very skilled with this instrument. It just flows naturally. I could listen to this all day.
MIchael Rigby dont get me wrong i do think its a beautiful song and well played on a lovely instrument. That reverb just seems a little too much, cant hear the subtle tones of the instrument
In the past the darkness has been my friend. Somehow this song helped me give it the boot. One of the most smoothly flowing songs ever. This rendition is extremely beautiful and well played. Thanks for sharing your most precious talent with us.
Noel Floresca THANK YOU!!!! Someone else said what I've been thinking all along, for years now!!!! LOL, >ahem< but I TOTALLY agree with you!!! "Music" today has gone WAY past the talent/performance; to more of a conglomeration of noises and yelling!!! LOVE THIS!!!!!
Noel Floresca Everything audible is noise. pretty weak insult. Besides, simply because you don't like modern music doesn't make it bad I mean everything has been done before anyways so who cares.
James Dennis get down off your high horse, if you can't find ANY modern music that isn't devoid of talent or skill then you obviously don't take music at all seriously, take the time to search and listen. There are PLENTY of artists and bands out there in all genres and fields creating incredible music. Pretentious comments like this lead me to believe you and others think any solo acoustic session is somehow the greatest musical accomplishment and limit yourself to things like this and this alone. EVERY era, 50s, 60s, 70s, so on and so forth has had its fair share of junk among gold and 'today's' standard is no different.
Noel Floresca I can agree for the most part, but I like a couple modern songs. There are many that I prefer covers over, too I find old music more appealing, too, but some modern musicians really aren't bad. Imagine Dragons has been one of my all time favorites ever since Radioactive came out as a single. Of course, I prefer Demons over Radioactive, but Image Dragons makes great albums.
Isso acalma é a alma algo perfeito em um vídeo, música linda e o som do instrumento top, o silêncio não é tristeza , é sim uma reflexão, pensar em dias melhores, "THE SOUND OF SILENCE" essa música toda vez que escuto encontro paz, parabéns aos compositores e aos artistas que lembram dessa obra de arte
Jamie Dupius, can't stop from watching this video ... Even the setting, that you chose to perform the "Sound of Silence," is Perfect! I've been in the empty creek bottoms, under the pines many times... The Solutude!
Sublime. Haunting. Powerfully beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed having this caress my ears through headphones. Thanx for sharing your gift. Please offer more.
So Jamie, I was looking for acoustic guitar music to play for my father while he was in the hospital. I found your amazing talent. My gratitude is more than you can imagine. Thanks.
I have never heard of this instrument until today. You have such an incredible talent. The sounds from your instrument are like light bells chiming. This is all beautiful. Thank you.
Man I don't understand the dislikes people gave this, your rendition of The Sound of Silence is absolutely amazing and beautiful!!! Very soothing, haunting, and beautiful, all at the same time. Edit : just bought your cover on Amazon 😊
That has to be one of the most bizarre and unwieldy instruments in existence. That being said, you can't argue with the results. The sound is succulent. 🧡 Thank you for sharing.
That is a beast of an instrument... you could get a lot of different sounds out of that instrument which no ordinary guitar can produce. It sounds like he's playing a guitar and a piano at the same time by himself.
This ...and El Condor pasa .... Spent my whole childhood listening to these beautiful songs each time we drove past the steep motorways thru the mountains of Abruzzo and Umbria In Italy. Tx for this beautiful performance. Bravo 🤝
I have lost count the number of times i have listened and watch this video I'm transfixed not just over the sound but the way your fingers dance across the strings.
Came back for my...🤔...25th...maybe 30th go around? I just realized I've never commented here (as I never have before - not until JD's effort, excellence and dedication to music absolutely demanded it of me soon after this.) This was my 2nd dose of JD after an accidental listen to his "Dust in the Wind."...2 bars in on this?... I was hooked and couldn't hit "Subscribe" fast enough! (And I am a self professed music snob.) My father was a peer of S&G. They had HUGE impact on his play. I grew up with all their music - as tho they set up shop in our living room daily. Dislikes? Guaranteed "purists"... The reason Simon didn't write bass into this piece from the beginning is because he didn't play the harp guitar.😏... Perfection Jamie D.😘
You ever watch something that feels like it's a direct insult to your skill or hobby? That's this video. Beyond amazing my guy, I strive to one day do this.
This one made me tear up!!! It touches something personal in my life that I won't get into but my wife is listening to this with me right now and she said to let you know you sound amazing!
Glad you Subscribed Yahshua! JD's music is excellent medicine! (No - not stalking you😉...a few of us just help Jamie with Q&A on his channel for hobby, and to support...He has a lot to juggle.) Jamie reads his commentary. Doesn't always have time to reply - but he takes it in and appreciates all.❤️
I'm still listening to this song daily brother! My goodness you are so talented beyond your imagination! Still think its the best one yet! ❤ still leaves me speechless!!!

Lyrics...
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Songwriters: Paul Simon

with all the "noise" going around...this is refreshing...thank you.
Noel Floresca THANK YOU!!!! Someone else said what I've been thinking all along, for years now!!!! LOL, >ahem< but I TOTALLY agree with you!!! "Music" today has gone WAY past the talent/performance; to more of a conglomeration of noises and yelling!!! LOVE THIS!!!!!
Noel Floresca
Everything audible is noise. pretty weak insult. Besides, simply because you don't like modern music doesn't make it bad I mean everything has been done before anyways so who cares.
James Dennis get down off your high horse, if you can't find ANY modern music that isn't devoid of talent or skill then you obviously don't take music at all seriously, take the time to search and listen.
There are PLENTY of artists and bands out there in all genres and fields creating incredible music.
Pretentious comments like this lead me to believe you and others think any solo acoustic session is somehow the greatest musical accomplishment and limit yourself to things like this and this alone.
EVERY era, 50s, 60s, 70s, so on and so forth has had its fair share of junk among gold and 'today's' standard is no different.
Noel Floresca you can choose to listen to this kind of music instead of noise All the time ya know
Noel Floresca
I can agree for the most part, but I like a couple modern songs.
There are many that I prefer covers over, too
I find old music more appealing, too, but some modern musicians really aren't bad.
Imagine Dragons has been one of my all time favorites ever since Radioactive came out as a single. Of course, I prefer Demons over Radioactive, but Image Dragons makes great albums.
It's so relax when you hear it
Jamie just released his Scarborough Fair on 20 strings!🖤🌹🖤👌⤵️

Prophetic.... People talking without speaking,
People listening without
hearing.... I used to that this was awesome in the 70's but now, wow!
John MacKinnon actually it's "People hearing without listening." 😊
I hear ya
@@emnem9877 It's actually both.
This and Bridge Over Troubled Waters were my grade school graduation songs... long ago.... when they were new! And they are still with us!
Isso acalma é a alma algo perfeito em um vídeo, música linda e o som do instrumento top, o silêncio não é tristeza , é sim uma reflexão, pensar em dias melhores, "THE SOUND OF SILENCE" essa música toda vez que escuto encontro paz, parabéns aos compositores e aos artistas que lembram dessa obra de arte
Jamie Dupius, can't stop from watching this video ... Even the setting, that you chose to perform the "Sound of Silence," is Perfect! I've been in the empty creek bottoms, under the pines many times... The Solutude!
he doesn't need a harmonic technique when strumming,that's pure sound! Love it❤
Be sure to check out his recently released Scarborough Fair on 20 strings!🖤🌹🖤👌⤵️

Beautiful song.
Beautiful Instrument.
Beautifully played.
Sublime. Haunting. Powerfully beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed having this caress my ears through headphones. Thanx for sharing your gift. Please offer more.
So Jamie, I was looking for acoustic guitar music to play for my father while he was in the hospital. I found your amazing talent. My gratitude is more than you can imagine. Thanks.
when music stops moving us, we are in trouble!
Agreed
You had a pun opportunity but you just aren't sharp enough
sam mcgregor It fell flat.
He had us on a string
Overwhelming calm, Thanks
Great job Jamie!!! It's so beautiful!!!
The beauty of RUclips, this is always here to come back to.
I have never heard of this instrument until today. You have such an incredible talent. The sounds from your instrument are like light bells chiming. This is all beautiful. Thank you.
Man I don't understand the dislikes people gave this, your rendition of The Sound of Silence is absolutely amazing and beautiful!!! Very soothing, haunting, and beautiful, all at the same time.
Edit : just bought your cover on Amazon 😊
The dislikes are from the people that tried to learn how to play that thing and failed
That has to be one of the most bizarre and unwieldy instruments in existence. That being said, you can't argue with the results. The sound is succulent. 🧡 Thank you for sharing.
That is a beast of an instrument... you could get a lot of different sounds out of that instrument which no ordinary guitar can produce. It sounds like he's playing a guitar and a piano at the same time by himself.
Haunting
and
Beautiful.
Beautiful! Thank you for the privilege of listening to this music of heaven.
Dude this instrument sounds so beautiful. The resonance and harmonics are predominat; shivers bro, impressive.
How could someone dislike beautiful music? It wonders me about their mindsets.
One of Jamie's original works 👌...

This ...and El Condor pasa ....
Spent my whole childhood listening to these beautiful songs each time we drove past the steep motorways thru the mountains of Abruzzo and Umbria In Italy. Tx for this beautiful performance. Bravo 🤝
Thanks so much!
You will appreciate this as well...

Beautiful music! Never heard and have never seen an 18 String Guitar! Thank you for sharing with us! God bless you always👌👌
Thank you for tuning in Roddy!
Beautiful sound, just touched my heart deeply. I really enjoyed your performance. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Sydney.
Such a beautiful instrument when played properly like this 👌 thank you sir...
I have lost count the number of times i have listened and watch this video I'm transfixed not just over the sound but the way your fingers dance across the strings.
Nunca vi ninguém com esse "dom" simplesmente magnífico.
Parabéns!!!!!

I searched "song of silience" on harp and this was one of the videos that came up. Wow your music is so beautiful.
this is the coolest sounding birdhouse ever
I need to install CS:S to see your pfp
Despite all the ugliness in the world, people are capable of creating great beauty too like this wonderful song, heavenly rendered here ❤.
Came back for my...🤔...25th...maybe 30th go around? I just realized I've never commented here (as I never have before - not until JD's effort, excellence and dedication to music absolutely demanded it of me soon after this.) This was my 2nd dose of JD after an accidental listen to his "Dust in the Wind."...2 bars in on this?... I was hooked and couldn't hit "Subscribe" fast enough! (And I am a self professed music snob.)
My father was a peer of S&G. They had HUGE impact on his play. I grew up with all their music - as tho they set up shop in our living room daily.
Dislikes? Guaranteed "purists"... The reason Simon didn't write bass into this piece from the beginning is because he didn't play the harp guitar.😏... Perfection Jamie D.😘
Amazing is the only word that comes to mind,save for stunning
Beautiful version of a beautiful song!
An....All in One!
Beautiful!
I wish my Dad and Grandfathers and Ancestors could have seen this instrument. Thank YOU for sharing.
What a beautiful version of such a beautiful song
You ever watch something that feels like it's a direct insult to your skill or hobby? That's this video.
Beyond amazing my guy, I strive to one day do this.
In total agreement with those saying an arrangement of Scarborough Fair is needed from you and all these strings Jamie!
Already recorded a version and it will be posted within a couple of weeks! I’ve got lots of new materiel coming!
😏👌
@@jennifermiller4264 HaHa! Sure of it!
@@JamieDupuisMusician Good to know. Look forward to it all Jamie!
She's been pestering the shit out of him for SF! XD XD XD
Truly love this song was 5 when it came out! My much older sisters played it on 45s. Played it to put me to sleep! For naps and bedtime
*this puts anyone in a trance. like your soul is floating in another universe*
😍😍😍
Did ya smoke a joint ?
@@mikemadore8856 lmao 😂😂
Just want to thank God for gifting us you and your music... It's a blessing.
This one made me tear up!!! It touches something personal in my life that I won't get into but my wife is listening to this with me right now and she said to let you know you sound amazing!
I'm sorry for your loss.
Glad you Subscribed Yahshua! JD's music is excellent medicine!
(No - not stalking you😉...a few of us just help Jamie with Q&A on his channel for hobby, and to support...He has a lot to juggle.)
Jamie reads his commentary. Doesn't always have time to reply - but he takes it in and appreciates all.❤️
Welcome to the club man!
@@jennifermiller4264 thank you and I totally understand. He did reply to one of my comments :)
@@s.p.m1090 thank you very kindly!!! He is really amazing.
Wow seven years ago and I just found out about harp guitars tonight. This is my first experience listening. Now I am in love with the sound!
.
You received far more dislikes than you could possibly deserve... Thx that was unique and exquisitely beautiful.
I totally agree
The people who do that are just full of hate, hate their lives and can't help themselves. All we can do is ignore them.
Amen this is a fantastic interpretation of one of my favorite songs
It may have to do with the actual video itself and not the performance...just a thought
One dislike is more than this should get. What's to dislike, seriously?
I'm still listening to this song daily brother! My goodness you are so talented beyond your imagination! Still think its the best one yet! ❤ still leaves me speechless!!!
Oh - sounds wonderful. I like these 3 different registers lot! The highest sounds quite a lot KANTELE (finnish lyra) - and the ambitus is so great!
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve come back to this video. Absolutely is some of the mist beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
