Default Paul Simon - Old Friends - Fingerstyle Guitar Arrangement by | sbrennan

ah well what can you say? - this song in endless, timeless beautiful, poignant, heartfelt, fragmented memories, awash in sentiment, like tears on old photographs or friends long remembered.
Turns out you can say a lot of soppy stuff... still beautiful though, nothing could change that!

Yeah - I really love this arrangement (yours?) of a beautiful song. Perfectly executed. You have great tone - I think I would like to hear it with a little less reverb, just my preference.

Hi thanks a lot Michael
yes my arrangement
The reverb I try so much to lessen but just end liking the sound...it's like a guilty pleasure or something cant help myself!

Wonderful arrangement and so beautifully played Steve. Love the way you 'communicate' with your instrument - if that makes sense.

Loved it !!

You converted every nuance of the vocal phrases into the musical phrases. I could almost hear/remember the words in your "phrasing", just excellent Steve.....
