Arr. Lawson and Trueman (guitar solo)
Production: Jakob Schmidt
Guitar: Paul Sheridan
Support: Guitarlift
Strings: Hannabach Goldin
Mic: Zoom H6
This arrangement is truly outstanding. There are any number of musician's that are very good in a technical way. But this was magical, with the various self-accompaniments and subtleties of the various notes. The delicate movement of the fingers across the frets of the instrument, as a Van Gogh or Picaso paints a masterpiece this arrangement was such a creation.
Agreed, Lawson and Trueman’s arrangements are exceptional, and Steph really does this arrangement justice.
There’s a connection between her brain and her guitar that is seldom seen in meer mortals…superpowers on display here….awe-struck
The music doesn't just flow through your fingers, it's really in your heart. Wonderful.
That. Is. Sound my like❤ thank you. Playing I see❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've said many times, the 70's was the greatest decade for music. Simon, Croce, Taylor, I could list names for days and they're all deserving of mention.
Who could possibly hit the dislike button for such a beautifully played piece of music that clearly comes from this lady’s soul. Ignore the haters, this was amazing! ❤️
Whilst I do agree that it is an amazingly beautiful cover version, I believe that the UA-cam algorithm at the moment rewards activity on channels. So likes, dislikes, comments and subs all go to help the creators. So the joke is on those people who don’t share the same taste in music that we obviously do.
Jealous people that have no such talents.
My guess are those who can’t hear a musician. This is a beautiful arrangement her classical pose is beautiful
i disliked cause shes a woman

Brought me to tears... took me back to my growing up in the 60’s. A time of civil unrest and hope for the future..Simon and Garfunkel left us with a unforgettable time stamp in the soundtrack of our lives ☮️
So true, forever shaped by the 60’s.
Whenever I find myself disgusted by the world today I can still find comfort in the arts and believe music to be art in its purest form.
She is amazing in every way. Thanks for your talent and dedication, Stephanie.
Her visual expressions translate into 1,000 times more meaning than mere words could ever convey.
silence never sound as beautiful as this performance.
Love me. Syster❤❤❤❤❤❤you. Daly. Make. Me playing you. G❤
The Sound of Silence has so much to say when Stephanie plays. This truly is perfection.
This is why Stephanie is my most favorite guitarist. She seems to feel every sound in her soul.
What a wonderful version of this fantastic song! Thank you very much, Stephanie, for sharing this with the world!
Yes doing ❤
As someone of Simon & Garfunkel's generation lm so glad to see a young generation enjoyng their beautiful music.
Beautifully played. That classic song never sounded better!
Великие музыканты, композиторы, певцы, основатели замечательного музыкального течения фолк - рок. Слава богу, что Саймон и Гарфункель живы и здоровы, и продолжают радовать своих поклонников. Очаровательной гитаристке Стефани Джонс большое спасибо за виртуозное исполнение мелодии.

The way you used those harmonics was amazing. Absolutely beautiful
Sheer elegance and beauty . This is my first time seeing/hearing Stephanie and certainly won’t be the last . Her tone , her technique , her movements are all delightful . She takes this wonderful , timeless classic song and makes it even better by her lovely virtuosity . Thank you, Stephanie for this precious gift .
George Lewis, Sr.
I love that little smile at the end!Once again,flawless,beautiful
Who could possibly give a thumbs down to this exceptional talent. Great musician playing with out sheet music. Excellent.
Metal Heads and Stone Hearts.
There are so many talented people in the world, Stephanie Jones certainly one of them.
You have captured the essence of the original and enhanced the emotional impact with repetition, sustain and emphasis of
key phrase elements. Mysterious, melancholic and memorable. Paul Simon would be proud of your performance. 🤗🤗🤗♥️🌹
Would be hard to top this as an instrumental treatment of this song - I would say next to impossible. Love the richness of the audio recording, too.
I really like this version ua-cam.com/video/zBVf4F-SVYM/v-deo.html
Everything you do Stephanie, makes my heart hurt. I lost my Girl, My little canine friend Zoey, of 12 year's. I can't stop crying, but thank you for your music and your hope and life.
Bravo Stephanie! Technically and expressively beautiful, thanks!
This is the music angels play when you are welcomed into heaven...
THIS is exquisitely beautiful. I was NOT expecting classical guitar. I'm a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan....WHAT a beautiful presentation!!! SUBSCRIBED...
my jaw dropped to the floor and nearly in tears over such a "no words to describe" interpretation... OMG *THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU*
Just beautiful. I'v loved Simon & Garfunkel music since I was a kid, and this piece is just amazing Stephanie.
If there is one thing I could wish for and be granted would be able to play any instrument with a passion and beauty shown here. I have tried and failed. Even singing is not within me. But to hear others that have such an ability is a pleasure I enjoy. Those that can, do. Those that can't, well we sit back and enjoy.
Keep trying?
Let the frustration be the water that feeds your roots. Make it a daily habit. Watch what happens after one year. You will look back and laugh. And then maybe play a song about it.
Don't doubt yourself. With dedicated effort and proper choices to work within your limits, you can express yourself artistically and create beauty.
My dad said to me once: there are two kinds of people in this world, the ones who make music and the ones who listen to it. And...they can't live without each other!
Also, remember: Music is communication, not competition. I was at a blues festival once, great artists from all over the world played very sophisticated and technically challenging music, it was great! Then, on the last night, this wizened old guy came on, he could barely play three chords and probably didn't even know what those chords were called. He sang out of tune. And he brought the house down! Blew the roof off the place! Why? Because he didn't play the blues, he WAS the blues!
Stephanie, you are a peaceful breath of fresh air during these turbulent times.
Thank you.
Love from the States. ♥️🇺🇸
Best finger style version of this song so far. I love seeing the young adopt music from this era.
Mum, Thank you for sharing your birthday gift with us, and for giving us the gift of Stephanie. Greetings from NH USA!
STANDING OVATION. Your playing has reacquainted me to the sweet, stunning, expanse of Awe, and provided my fingers inspiration to regain my physical skills of playing acoustic guitar, lost after my body's cerebellar stroke. Thank You Ms. Jones, Thank You.
I truly admire you for learning to play a guitar so well. It's a testimony to your determination and persistence. I'm mediocre, and there is no joy in mediocrity, as my old voice teacher used to say. Your performance is beautiful.
I wish I had as sufficient grasp of language as you do the guitar then maybe I could find a compliment that does justice to this beautiful arrangement and performance, you’ve taken a classic in its own right and made it your own with this 💜
Stephanie, this is stunning. I find the way you played this classic song absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you.
We dont need a million sing and song writers who think they can play the guitar while in fact they Just can play 10 chords. We only need a few people Like you to Make us smile. Only a few to Make us cry and relaxed.
Thanks for sharing your amazing skills.
Well, you have to start somewhere. At sometime in her early career, I bet she only knew 10 chords. I know what you mean though.😁 Mastery of the guitar...that's a whole different animal, and she's got that down. I'm very envious...and admire her playing very much. Not just the technical aspects of her playing, but the emotion that so sweetly comes out of her guitar that she put into it.
Phenomenal. The kind of music that makes you feel privileged to have heard by an artist I feel privileged to have watched perform it.
i agree
That was an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your incredible artistry with us. Exquisite playing! Brava!!!
Absolutely unbelievable!! The raw talent and pure joy that she exudes is off the charts for me. Thanks very, very much for sharing this video. Magnificent!
I didn't want the song to end. So I will just replay it a few times. Wonderful, thanks!
Same here. Saw this comment on my second hearing. :')
Simply magnificent! Stephanie, thank you.
THE BEST VERSION OF SOUND OF SILENCE...
Absolutely incredible playing! As a classical guitar student it is amazing to watch you perform, and gives me inspiration to continue my study. Thank you very much Stephanie.
Been listening to this instrumental number again and again. Simply the best version of the song the way its played. Beautifully done.
Lovely interpretation. No showing off for showing off's sake, every note in harmony with Simon's vision.
pattilapeche. Exactly. Class act.
Such a pleasure and honour to listen to this proffesionism and beautiful young lady
Simon and Garfunkel would be proud! This is simply AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!
I have listened to lots of music on UA-cam and this was the most heartfelt piece I've heard yet. This I will remember.
Bravo, and performed with heart felt emotion, thankyou.
It was acustic though...anybody could do acustic
Stephanie,
The passion in your heart flows through your fingers. 🥹
☮️❤️🙏🏽🌱🐾🎸
Felt every note she played there and the beauty of that was you could tell she did as well.
Enchanting. Thank you Stephanie x

This is incredibly beautiful. I have been a Simon and Garfunkel fan since birth , and this was an absolutely amazing cover.
Absolutely brilliant, a truly wonderful arrangement. Have viewed many covers of this song recently, all of which were really good, but I love this cover...just wish it went on for longer. Beautiful arrangement and lady.
OMG, this is the most beautiful performance of this song I've ever seen, heard or thought possible. And yes she is beautiful too. Two thumbs girl
Oh my, this is an amazingly beautiful version of this song ... Like something beautiful from another era ... What a beautiful tribute to Simon and Garfunkel

Best version of this song I've ever heard and no one breathed a word.
That was a beautiful performance. Thank you!
Everything about this is perfect! It is obvious what an accomplished artist you are, and also how beautifully you present yourself as you play. I can see it is quite meditative for you.
Thank you for a lovely experience!
Her hands and dexterity are amazing!
You have got "it". That quality that sets you apart from the many.
Absolutely beautiful! Keep sharing your amazing talent with us!😍❤️
At my 65 this chords stil make me shiver.
Thank you for sharing with all of us.
That was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us!
So beautiful.....and challenges me-because I simply cannot play that well, and am too old to attain that level of expertise. I recognize that, and am in admiration of those who have. Bless you all for bringing joy to life.
Oh my goodness.. I got goose bumps from listening to your beautiful rendition ❤🎉😊this brings back so much memory.. I goose bumps..!
Absolutely stunning rendition.
Thank you!
Goosebumps moment! Excellent feel to sound suited for the atmosphere/mood of the song, stylish flaggiolets as bonus. Really great interpretation and so delicately played. Simply lovely!
Always so tastefully rendered. Just a treat for the ears.
Stunning. Can't believe that such a gorgeous song could be improved like this
There is something extraordinary in her incomparable performance
An unbelievable, incredibly beautiful treatment of an iconic song exploring the heights and depths of emotion far beyond the constraints of lyrics. Thank you!!
I have no words to describe the enjoyment that your interpretation of his song gives me!!! You are extraordinary!!!
As one who can see the exit sign blinking, everyone I've loved and known have gone on. But for a brief moment you've brought back thier memories, and for that I thank you. Semper fi
There has surely been thousands of hours of practicing here!
The most emotional rendition of music I have listened to. Loved every note and every sound. So much feeling shared in this beautiful song by a beautiful person.
Wow! This made me shed a tear or two. It’s so hard to describe how amazing this is. The duality of guitar and vocal melody. Working simultaneously. A completely new concept of the song. And the performance. WOW!!!! That guitar playing is as natural as a person breathing.
The absolte best rendition of this wandefull classic song, I have seen your video 10000 time and I love it more every time.....vravo stephanie vravo......jose from texas.
This is on another level that few can even approach.
Absolutely beautiful!
OMG! The most beautiful cover I have ever heard. Simply amazing!
What I love about your playing is you show what's possible if you master chords and their inversions🙏🙏🙏
Magnificent performance! B R A V A !
Wow!
Say it again .. WOW!
I am standing on my feet applauding, whistling and cheering.
Lovely arrangement. The short necked classical guitar almost makes it sound medieval. Thanks!
Passion for the guitar has flamed to life again. Thanks.
Es ist wunderschön Dich spielen zu sehen und hören...vielen Dank🙏
Ganz großes Gefühl. Toll interpretiert. Das geht unter die Haut. Ich hoffe, wir hören noch viel von ihr. Würde ich gerne mal live erleben...
Just amazing rendition of an amazing song. Wow!
😍❤️🎶😎
Love the song and thoughtful rendition, but am even more impressed by how much time it must have taken to appear so effortless in her performance.
The most stunning, almost haunting rendition of this all-time favorite song of mine that I've ever heard! If I was either Simon or Garfunkel, I'd want to meet you and thank you for giving such beautiful life to this song...
This version is beautiful I can't take anything away from the talent of this beautiful young woman but have a listen to disturbed rendition of this song, some regard it as the best cover of any song ever, I'd have to agree to some point too
Love the style - you bring new life to an amazing, timeless piece ! Thanks for sharing your rendition of one of my favorite songs for guitar 👏
