In this video

This is how to play 'Sound of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel. For this lesson, we look at the chords & strumming as this song is mostly that throughout, however the intro guitar is actually a wonderful example of fingerstyle guitar.

The fingerstyle section is only for the first 30 seconds of the song but it is absolutely worth learning as a challenge, plus to really complete this song too! So if you like this & wish to learn more, check out my fingerstyle course here.
