The Sound Of Silence, by Paul Simon

My new arrangement. The goal was, of course, to create the best solo guitar arrangement of this tune ever

Wow! That was awesome, sheer pleasure to listen to. The arrangement is very interesting and the sound of your nylon-string classical is great. Fantastic work, thanks for sharing.

Alexey,

Wow! I think this is my favorite of all your posts! Wonderful from the first note to the last… superb tone from the guitar, dynamically rich, beautiful harmonics… just a joy to listen to!
Thanks for posting!!!

love the droning notes that harmonize. Interwoven melodies, drifting apart, coming closer, just like Art and Paul’s voices.

in other words, an instrumental rendition in the spirit of the original.
It also features a lot of “personal additions” that integrate perfectly.

Absolutely stunning

Being a hugh Paul Simon fan, that is high praise!
Well deserved.

[Alexeyd]

Thank you so much.
I actually took the Central Park performance as a model. At the beginning, the droning notes are the ones from Paul’s voice. I tried to follow the actual lyrics of the song, which makes every verse different.

Stunning, like everyone says! You manage to make one little guitar sing like an orchestra.

[AJSki2fly]

A beautiful arrangement, and as others have said wonderfully played,

[mfeeney0110]

Stunning Alexey, like everyone says! You manage to make one little guitar sing like a full orchestra.

I really felt it… made my eyes leak
thank you for sharing

Well, I also think this is the best tune/arrangement you’ve ever posted, and that’s a pretty high bar!

[GrumpyMac]

Your playing is from a galaxy far far away from us poor beginners
