    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.

    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.

      @@JamieDupuisMusician Please, correct me if I'm wrong but this instrument has been around since ancient Greece in varying forms. Potentially even back to 2000 BCE but certainly during medieval times. The most familiar was the citole which wasn't fretted. Prior to the creation of the gittern. A variant of the lute... And, by the way, my father studied viola and my mother still plays the cello and the violin. Plus, the obligatory piano. I played french horn and listened to ELP and Rick Wakeman. I know a quality sound and this is it. Loved the strat!

    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

      Ariana Is queen Awesome! But know, Age, and how many instruments you can play does not make you an excellent musician, make sure you understand your instrument, or at least perfect one (have at least 1 main instrument). For example, music theory. Music theory, is the most important thing when learning instruments, well one of the most important things of course. If you just know how to play, but do not understand music theory, and how 7, dim, add, sus, power chords (the 5th), work, and how to use them. Then you have a lot to learn, also knowing how to find the key of a note is very important. Scales, etc. Now, why I said age doesn’t matter, I see this a lot. Every time there is a 8-13 year olds playing an instrument very well, people say wow, you are talented, half of the adults that play the instrument are not even as good as you. Age doesn’t matter, a 13 year old can learn for 2 years, another 30 year old will learn for 2 years. If they both put in dedication, and effort, they will probably be near the same skill, but it really depends on the person, people learn at different rates. So if you see someone saying, he is only 8-13 (one of those) give him a break. Tell them what I just said.

    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.
