My dad showed me this beautiful video almost two years ago. He came into the living room where I was sitting and asked me to listen to this video. He said it was one of the most amazing things he had ever seen and started crying. He died 9 months ago and I finally found this again and listening to it makes me think about him and how much he loved music. Thank you for this.

*“You see hon, when a harp and a guitar love each other very much...”*

I'm 60 years old and I've been playing 49 years and I'm telling you now and she's one of the most beautiful things I've heard I played many many many beautiful things in my lifetime but there was always effects pedals involved but yes this has a life of its own

the first time I heard this song was just the other day. my buddy and I were out riding 3 wheelers in the woods and stopped in a field to watch the sunset. he put this song on as the thousands and thousands of fireflies came out. it was surreal... this is now one of my favorite songs. thank you so much for that moment

I'm from Mexico. I played the guitar from age 15 to 29, 3 years ago I had a car accident and lost my left arm. I'm still looking for ways to play the guitar again. Listening to your music gives me a strange relief and a lot of hope. Thank you. Soy de México. Toqué la guitarra de los 15 a los 29 años, hace 3 años tuve un accidente automovilístico y perdí mi brazo izquierdo. Sigo buscando formas de volver a tocar la guitarra. Escuchar tu música me brinda un extraño alivio y mucha esperanza. gracias

I was in the woods behind you. And to this day, this is the best thing I've heard

Jamie’s playing is like the gift that keeps on giving. We are all so fortunate he shares this gift, this talent.

I used to give lessons on this instrument but gave up as they were too many strings attached

"People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. No one dared. Disturb the sound of silence." Still one of the most poetic songs ever written. Even impacts as an instrumental. Thank you, sir, for a great cover!

Jamie, I am 71 years old.i just watched. You play )the sound of silence) on the harp guitar.1st time I've seen or heard of a harp guitar. It's beautiful & makes great music. I have faith. That you will master it in time. Thanks I will tune in often. God bless.george bowlby

Wow those bass notes 😮 are used soooo well I love this

I hope this is what Heaven sounds like... this is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. No joke.

The reverb in that forest is amazing!

Look around your side.... All trees are clapping....👍👍✌️✌️🎶🎶🎶

Amazing rendition! 18 strings! Never seen anything like this before.

Like learning to play the guitar isnt hard enough

Disabled Veteran. No pills here. Calms me greatly. Love ya man.

That harp guitar sounds so heavenly and so relaxing

May be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, your rendition that is. Simon and Garfunkel was my first cassette tape as a boy

Fricken first time i ever seen a dude really crush one of these harp guitars!!!!! Amaze-zing

Why do people even dislike this? It‘s a masterpiece!

Do you play bass or guitar? -yes.

he doesn't need a harmonic technique when strumming,that's pure sound! Love it❤

This is magical! My late grandfather had one, yet I never heard him play it. For years, I tried to explain to people what it was, even though I never saw one! AMAAAAZZZZING!!!

If anyone wanted to sing along... Lyrics... Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence Songwriters: Paul Simon

Never heard a harp guitar before, though I've seen pictures over the years. Wonderful. Thank you!

Love listening to this instrument. It's somewhat rare, expensive and takes a talent to master it. Big positive is that you get three musicians for the price of one. Bass, guitar and harp. What a pleasure to listen.

That is a beast of an instrument... you could get a lot of different sounds out of that instrument which no ordinary guitar can produce. It sounds like he's playing a guitar and a piano at the same time by himself.

The talent that some people have is sometimes hard to comprehend.

with all the "noise" going around...this is refreshing...thank you.

Came back for my...🤔...25th...maybe 30th go around? I just realized I've never commented here (as I never have before - not until JD's effort, excellence and dedication to music absolutely demanded it of me soon after this.) This was my 2nd dose of JD after an accidental listen to his "Dust in the Wind."...2 bars in on this?... I was hooked and couldn't hit "Subscribe" fast enough! (And I am a self professed music snob.) My father was a peer of S&G. They had HUGE impact on his play. I grew up with all their music - as tho they set up shop in our living room daily. Dislikes? Guaranteed "purists"... The reason Simon didn't write bass into this piece from the beginning is because he didn't play the harp guitar.😏... Perfection Jamie D.😘

The beauty of KZfaq, this is always here to come back to.

Became a fan of the Moody Blues, and other bands, while in the Army in the early 70s. As most GIs would tell you this was our primary entertainment stationed overseas. Got married several years after I got out of the Army. Hired a local band to play at our wedding. Asked them to play this song while we were at the alter. Married now forty years, hearing you play this song takes me back to the alter, and puts tears in my eyes. Young man, you are a brilliant artist and composer! Thank-you for sharing your talent.

The sound is so rich and beautiful, yet haunting at the same time. If I were walking through the woods and heard this, I'd think an angel had appeared. You, sir, are incredibly talented.

Just came across this video. This is one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. Thank you.

I come back to this video constantly, possibly the most relaxing thing on the internet

I have never seen an instrument like this before, the sound is so beautiful the musician is a genius, outstanding playing.

Wow.... So peaceful my friend. Of silence

Great job Jamie!!! It's so beautiful!!!

Great job, absolutely beautiful. 👏🏼 Simon and Garfunkel would be so honored by this young man's awesome rendition.

As a guitar player, I respect your passion and determination in playing such a unique and beautiful instrument. You sound amazing! Keep up the great work!

it takes real talent to play a real instrument, what a treat for the heart and for my ears. thank you kindly for posting the vid, I am richer for it !

He’s playing a canoe sized piece of driftwood and it sounds angelic.

Truly love this song was 5 when it came out! My much older sisters played it on 45s. Played it to put me to sleep! For naps and bedtime

I'd rather listen to this for 2 hours straight than any mainstreeam radio station

Isso acalma é a alma algo perfeito em um vídeo, música linda e o som do instrumento top, o silêncio não é tristeza , é sim uma reflexão, pensar em dias melhores, "THE SOUND OF SILENCE" essa música toda vez que escuto encontro paz, parabéns aos compositores e aos artistas que lembram dessa obra de arte

That has to be one of the most bizarre and unwieldy instruments in existence. That being said, you can't argue with the results. The sound is succulent. 🧡 Thank you for sharing.

Prophetic.... People talking without speaking, People listening without hearing.... I used to that this was awesome in the 70's but now, wow!

Heard it countless times! My 8 yo daughter is crazy about this track. There is real magic in your fingers..

It's so relax when you hear it

I searched "song of silience" on harp and this was one of the videos that came up. Wow your music is so beautiful.

Love it man!

Words fail me. I find six strings enough of a challenge. Bravo!

Superbe !!! merci beaucoup pour ce partage belle soirée depuis le sud de la France.

“How many strings do you want on your guitar”? Jamie- YES !

I've never seen anything like this instrument. I love the music. what a gift you have thank you for sharing it with us

All the dislikes are just people that missed the like button because they were crying from the feeling of this incredible cover.

So Jamie, I was looking for acoustic guitar music to play for my father while he was in the hospital. I found your amazing talent. My gratitude is more than you can imagine. Thanks.

Jamie, I got goose bu,ps from this and I am a 60yo Marine vet. Hats off to you

Wow, had never heard that instrument before, what a beautiful sound. Skilled artist too!

That instrument is beautiful. it has the most well rounded sound. And it is wonderfully played. Bravo man!

This ...and El Condor pasa .... Spent my whole childhood listening to these beautiful songs each time we drove past the steep motorways thru the mountains of Abruzzo and Umbria In Italy. Tx for this beautiful performance. Bravo 🤝

Beautiful music! Never heard and have never seen an 18 String Guitar! Thank you for sharing with us! God bless you always👌👌

If a man plays 'the sound of silence' on a harp guitar in a forest, does it make a sound?

How could someone dislike beautiful music? It wonders me about their mindsets.

How can anybody give a thumbs down on this, are they tone deaf.

Jamie Dupius, can't stop from watching this video ... Even the setting, that you chose to perform the "Sound of Silence," is Perfect! I've been in the empty creek bottoms, under the pines many times... The Solutude!

I absolutely live this rendition on this instrument"

when music stops moving us, we are in trouble!

In total agreement with those saying an arrangement of Scarborough Fair is needed from you and all these strings Jamie!

Oh - sounds wonderful. I like these 3 different registers lot! The highest sounds quite a lot KANTELE (finnish lyra) - and the ambitus is so great!

The Sound of silence is music to my ears. Very nice, very relaxing.👏

3 years gone and I am still clinging to this, Jamie

One of my favorite songs . Your playing is amazing. I never knew this type of instrument existed. Awesome!

I listen to this when I want something peaceful to listen to. Plus I LOVE the guitar. This is by far the best instrumental version ever.

Words cannot express the peace this music brings to my day thank you

That's heavenly beautiful..wonder what heavens gonna be?..ear has never heard,eye has not seen.nor has it entered in the heart of man,what jesus has in store for those that love him..so even that lovely music,ant even going to compare with heaven!!💝

It's amazing how this melody erases the worries and brings comfort.

You received far more dislikes than you could possibly deserve... Thx that was unique and exquisitely beautiful.

Wow, what a gorgeous instrument that creates such a beautifully hypnotic sound. You're so very skilled with this instrument. It just flows naturally. I could listen to this all day.

Sei veramente bravo😍👏 . Un saluto dall'Italia

I have never heard of this instrument until today. You have such an incredible talent. The sounds from your instrument are like light bells chiming. This is all beautiful. Thank you.

this is the coolest sounding birdhouse ever

Man I don't understand the dislikes people gave this, your rendition of The Sound of Silence is absolutely amazing and beautiful!!! Very soothing, haunting, and beautiful, all at the same time. Edit : just bought your cover on Amazon 😊

The definitions for "I want to play a musical instrument" have been updated.

I'm still listening to this song daily brother! My goodness you are so talented beyond your imagination! Still think its the best one yet! ❤ still leaves me speechless!!!

That was beautiful....thank you Jamie. More please.

I have heard and played this song 100's of times and this is the best by far. WOW and double WOW!

I've watched this video quite a few times since I've first watched it a few years back. It still gives me the chills, every time.

This kind of music vaporise the negative energy inside of me..A true neutralizer..🤜🤛

Love the sound I could listen to it all day

*this puts anyone in a trance. like your soul is floating in another universe* 😍😍😍

What a rich sound. Love it!!

An....All in One! Beautiful! I wish my Dad and Grandfathers and Ancestors could have seen this instrument. Thank YOU for sharing.

Mesmerizing! Incredible! Thanks for posting!

Such a beautiful instrument when played properly like this 👌 thank you sir...

Never heard of a harp-guitar musical instrument ever, but this is amazing the sound is like a combination of a guitar and of a piano.

What a beautiful version of such a beautiful song

You ever watch something that feels like it's a direct insult to your skill or hobby? That's this video. Beyond amazing my guy, I strive to one day do this.
