Aloha friends. If you're a fan of Simon & Garfunkel, you'll recognize the iconic opening line, "Hello darkness, my old friend," from "The Sound of Silence." This was one of their first hits, alongside "I Am a Rock." The eerie harmonies and the mysterious vibe of the song captured our attention on the radio, and we were all curious about who these guys were.
I'm playing this song with a capo on the sixth fret, the key they originally played in.
Listening to the original version is important to pick up on any subtle time changes and nuances. Once you get comfortable with it, try playing along with the capo on the sixth fret to match the original tempo and vibe. Feel free to put your own spin on it - sometimes, I'll play an instrumental version while watching TV to mix things up. But remember, it's best to learn the song as it is before you start reimagining it.
