Скачать или смотреть Old Friends/Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel [fingerstyle acoustic guitar cover]

When I was growing up, I listened a lot to my parents' vinyl albums. One of those was Simon & Garfunkel's 1982 live album "The Concert In Central Park". "Old Friends/Bookends" was not one of my favourites at the time, but it came right after The Boxer, which I loved, so I ended up hearing it a lot.
Recently, I noticed that sometimes, when playing with the guitar, if I strummed an Fmaj7 chord, immediately my mind would remember this song, and I would strum a Cmaj7 afterwards, sounding just like the Old Friends intro. I realised that the song had really made a mark in me. Not only that, but I realised, if I hadn't before, how beautiful it was. I had to learn it.

The chord progression here is beautiful - I haven't played anything else for the last week, and still haven't grown tired of it. But hey, you can't really go wrong with Paul Simon, can you?

As usual, I played on my Yamaha APX600, in standard tuning. The guitar was plugged into my Hotone Ampero for effects processing and I recorded using Logic Pro X.
