That. Is. Sound my like❤ thank you. Playing I see❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
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
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 KZread 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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!
She is amazing in every way. Thanks for your talent and dedication, Stephanie.
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.
As someone of Simon & Garfunkel's generation lm so glad to see a young generation enjoyng their beautiful music.
The Sound of Silence has so much to say when Stephanie plays. This truly is perfection.
What a wonderful version of this fantastic song! Thank you very much, Stephanie, for sharing this with the world!

Simon and Garfunkel would be proud! This is simply AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!
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. 🤗🤗🤗♥️🌹
Been listening to this instrumental number again and again. Simply the best version of the song the way its played. Beautifully done.
Her visual expressions translate into 1,000 times more meaning than mere words could ever convey.
I'm still shivering ! WONDERFUL REAL MUSIC!!
I have no words to describe the enjoyment that your interpretation of his song gives me!!! You are extraordinary!!!
That was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us!
Felt every note she played there and the beauty of that was you could tell she did as well. Enchanting. Thank you Stephanie x
my jaw dropped to the floor and nearly in tears over such a "no words to describe" interpretation... OMG *THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU*
An unbelievable, incredibly beautiful treatment of an iconic song exploring the heights and depths of emotion far beyond the constraints of lyrics. Thank you!!
Phenomenal. The kind of music that makes you feel privileged to have heard by an artist I feel privileged to have watched perform it.

The most beautiful performance I ever listened of The Sound Of Silence 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️
Oh my goodness.. I got goose bumps from listening to your beautiful rendition ❤🎉😊this brings back so much memory.. I goose bumps..!
Magnificent performance! B R A V A ! Wow! Say it again .. WOW! I am standing on my feet applauding, whistling and cheering.
Stephanie, you are a peaceful breath of fresh air during these turbulent times. Thank you. Love from the States. ♥️🇺🇸
THIS is exquisitely beautiful. I was NOT expecting classical guitar. I'm a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan....WHAT a beautiful presentation!!! SUBSCRIBED...
Absolutely stunning rendition. Thank you!
Bravo Stephanie! Technically and expressively beautiful, thanks!
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.
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.
To be one with the music as this person has become is a very special gift. Thank you for sharing this.
Absolutely beautiful! Keep sharing your amazing talent with us!😍❤️
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!
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.
At my 65 this chords stil make me shiver. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
One of the more beautiful guitar pieces ever. You do it justice, as always!
Simply magnificent! Stephanie, thank you.
So beautiful sounding every time I hear it. Thank you.
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.
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
Young lady, you have moved me to tears....

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.
This is the music angels play when you are welcomed into heaven...
Just amazing rendition of an amazing song. Wow! 😍❤️🎶😎
Stunning. Can't believe that such a gorgeous song could be improved like this
Such a compliment to the great Paul Simon, beautiful
Always so tastefully rendered. Just a treat for the ears.
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.
Thank you for such a wonderful performance… it certainly hit the spot for me
Her hands and dexterity are amazing!
Lovely interpretation. No showing off for showing off's sake, every note in harmony with Simon's vision.

Stephanie, it made me feel like the music was within me. Your work is beautiful. Thanks.
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.
so soothing , i could feel it in my bones ! healing me up ! Thank God there are musicians out there that still have that "Midas touch"

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!
Passion for the guitar has flamed to life again. Thanks.
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 👏
This is quite beautiful and played with emotion by this lady, you should not waste words on dislikes here. Simon & Garfunkel, God, what a privilege it is to live in the era of these two gentlemen !!
the feeling of heart and guitar merging as one entity…I think that guitar contains your soul, as well! Incredible…I’ve commented before, but each time I re-visit, I love it more! Enthralled in 🇨🇦👍
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.
Best version of this song I've ever heard and no one breathed a word.
Sweet Stephanie, what an amazing gift from God. Your beautiful rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's masterpiece touches the core of our souls. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with the world.
It's a beautiful arrangement... of a beautiful song... beautifully filmed... beautifully played. Enough said.
Uma linda interpretação. Não tinha visto ainda alguém tocar violão como se estivesse tocando arpa. Parecendo uma dança de bailarina. Parabéns
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.
