Default Paul Simon's 'April Come She Will' - video


Hi everybody!

This is the arrangement I made of Paul Simon's "April Come She Will" from the 1966 album "Sounds Of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel. A lovely song I enjoy playing that I would like to share with the forum.

Hope you like it,

Best,
Anatol.

Lovely! That was one of the first songs I ever learned to play. I was still in the cradle and didn't play it half as well as you, but it's a lovely tune.

Did you arrange that? Do you happen to have it written out or tabbed out?

Very nice job!

Kerbie,
Yes, it's my arrangement of the song. I don't have it on paper yet, maybe I make the score in the near future as I have some requests. I just play the basic chords in different voicings to keep the melody on top, that's the idea, most of the stuff is semi-improvised.

Thanks for your interest.

Best,
Anatol.

Indeed, that was lovely. Brought a smile to my face. You actually look a bit like Paul Simon, as well. I think Paul would be honored to hear/see this.
