In this lesson we’re going to learn how to play a fingerstyle arrangement of Homeward Bound.

Homeward Bound is by American folk duo Simon & Garfunkel and was written by Paul Simon. The song was released on 19th January 1966 and peaked at no. 5 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100. It appears on their album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (1966). 

This arrangement is a whole lot of fun to play and I’d say it’s best suited to the intermediate fingerpicker and above. However, if you’re an advancing beginner then please don’t be put off.

If you’re looking for the track as recorded, then I’ve taught that here.

OK, let’s pick up our guitars and learn how to play Homeward Bound!
