Fall has almost finished. Millions of leaves move erratic by the ground and Paul simon wanted to reflect the passage of time with this song. My friend Nancy (TsukaiDaiku) has photographed the mountains where she lives to decorate the video, thanks Nancy. I wasn't 21 years when I heard this song for first time I was 13!!!! time flies...and the leaves that are green...are still green

Hi and thanks for your comment. The chords? mmm...I put some extra fingers that might change the correct name of the chord but the basi chords are: D, Em, A (finger on 1st string instead 2nd), D, G, D, G, A7, D, C, G, A7, D, Bm, Em, A7, E (D++). I guess you'll be able to manage it. ;-)

Thank you, this is (more or less) the one from Paul Simon's songbook album played and sang alone.

@homocreativus Hello homocreativus, thanks for commenting. It's difficult to write the tab down but basically I hit the following pattern: 1st-4th string simultaneously (hammering my middle left finger), 3rd, 2nd, 1st and 3rd string and beginning again. This is the basic pattern but there are moments you have to pick a certain string as you'll probably have notice it. Regards from Spain, Pedro

Just great! And could you describe the pattern that you play with your right hand? It seems to be the same throughout the whole song.

@sjdrewe Yes you are right, the sound is recorded separately from video. Then I applied a little amount of reverb effect as usually is made in studio records. it approaches to the original Paul Simon songbook album. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Gin, I miss you so much in here!. This is the PS Song book versión, where he sings alone, but I would be proud to send you this track to put your harmony on it. The beautiful pictures are courtesy of the wonderful Nancy (TsukaiDaiku) and served to decorate this video.

I record video and sound separately. The sound with the built-in microphone of my digital recorder Edirol (Roland R-09). Then I edit it with audacity software and I enhance it or put some filter, reverb twahtsoever it requires. Sometimes the product is good
