The Sound Of Silence on Guitar (Fingerstyle Arrangement)

The Sound Of Silence was written by Paul Simon between the years 1963 – 1964 and the song first appeared on his debut album with Art Garfunkel, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. It has since gone on to become one of the duo’s biggest hits. In this lesson we’re going to be learning a fingerstyle arrangement of this classic folk song.

I’ve tried not to make it too difficult to play but it will still have some challenges – as most solo fingerstyle arrangements do! I’d say that this arrangement is ideal for someone around the intermediate level.

OK, let’s start learning how to play The Sound of Silence!
