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...”*

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 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

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

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

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

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

Like learning to play the guitar isnt hard enough

Do you play bass or guitar? -yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

"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!

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

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

The reverb in that forest is amazing!

That harp guitar sounds so heavenly and so relaxing

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

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!!!

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 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.

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

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve come back to this video. Absolutely is some of the mist beautiful music I’ve ever heard.

In the past the darkness has been my friend. Somehow this song helped me give it the boot. One of the most smoothly flowing songs ever. This rendition is extremely beautiful and well played. Thanks for sharing your most precious talent with us.

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

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

The beauty of RU-vid, this is always here to come back to.

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

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

Love it man!

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

when music stops moving us, we are in trouble!

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

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.

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

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

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

The most beautiful rendition of "The Sound of Silence " that I've ever heard. ♥

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

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

Wow. Beautiful. One of the most beautiful songs ever played.

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.

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!

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

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

You have me in tears. My grandpa loves this song. Well done. ❤️❤️❤️

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

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

I have listened to this so often that I cannot count!! So beautiful! Thank you again☺️☺️🙏

It's so relax when you hear it

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 !

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

there's just something about this song. I've listened to many different instrumentations and your version really brings out the haunting beauty of this piece,

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!

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

I don’t even know what to say. I experienced a swell of emotion listening to this. This song gave me a strong spiritual experience and I am very grateful. Thank you for making such beautiful music.

I adore the high-pitched parts, they sound great, I love this song, it's very beautiful

this is the coolest sounding birdhouse ever

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

I have lost count the number of times i have listened and watch this video I'm transfixed not just over the sound but the way your fingers dance across the strings.

What an amazing thing to see and hear! One of my favorite songs/melodies.

I absolutely live this rendition on this instrument"

Love the sound I could listen to it all day

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

This song is dear to me and I was taken back by your beautiful rendition, and the absolutely amazing instrument! Thank you for sharing Sir..

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

Amazing is the only word that comes to mind,save for stunning

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

This song, I stumble across it everytime I am thinking about my Nana. She passed a few years ago and on our way to see her for the last time this song was on the radio in multiple versions on different stations one after another. I think I heard it 4 times before we arrived to see her pass.😥

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

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 😊

This is my favorite and now only version of the Sounds of Silence I listen too. I love your music.

This puts me in a realm of calmness, truly, like sitting inside an igloo watching the sun set while the snowfall gets dense and a subtle wind touches u like it tells u "everything is alright"...😌

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

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

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.

Just outstanding... soul-mending and spiritually healing. If you were never loved for any other reason, you would be for this. Thank you.

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.

What a beautiful version of such a beautiful song

What a rich sound. Love it!!

Dude this instrument sounds so beautiful. The resonance and harmonics are predominat; shivers bro, impressive.
