    I just downloaded this song and i can say that it is perfectly transcribed!!!
    In the intro e.g. there are some slight variations, that Jerry transcribed perfectly.
    One of the most beautifull fingerpicking songs you can now play just like Paul Simon!!

    I have only one guitar, so do you have this lesson for standard tuning WITHOUT all strings being down tuned a half tone? Unfortunately, having to down tune my guitar just to work on this song with you is not convenient , although I very much like the down-tuned version. I know I should get a second guitar, but money is the issue.

      You can play it just like this but with a standard tuned guitar. All the chord shapes and picking patterns will work. I teach it this way simply because I’m teaching what Paul Simon does.

      Instead of buying a 2nd guitar, just get a tuner or app that is a tuner for free and tune your guitar down half step to Eb. I only have one guitar and that’s what I do. It’s about as easy as it gets. You’re going to be learning this song for long enough to have your guitar tuned down and be worth the effort.

    Hello from the Midlands of the U.K.
    Have been after an accurate lesson/tab of this for ages.
    Could you tell me which version of the song this is-before I buy.
    I’m after the “in concert ” version as on “The Definitive Simon And Garfunkel” cd,
    mainly for the excellent instrumental ending that no-one seems to tab accurately!

      I’m afraid this is the original Sounds of Silence album version.

    Greetings from Pennsylvania USA. Yesterday I spent a rainy day working on Kathy’s Song by S&G. For those interested in finger picking, this song teaches some essential skills and features beautiful chord combinations. Thank you, Jerry!! As always, you’ve got Paul Simon down “crack on.”
