About this lesson

SUBSCRIBE: ►► http://goo.gl/nDtSmJ In this guitar lesson, we look at how to play 'Sound of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel. This is a beautiful song, and the only tricky chord is the F chord really. There's a bit of a single string riff which will take a bit of practice. The main focus here is to be able to follow a chord sheet that doesn't have barre lines on it by follow the words of the song. Cant take a bit of figuring out, but you'll get it- best of luck! For more totally free guitar lessons, check out the website.
