Hi Tim! Can you please tell me how is your mandoline tuned? And - can I get the tabs for this one? Thank you.

wow one of my favorites. i am a beginning mandolin player. love this song and the police. and now i am extra excited and motivated to play more. could i get the tabs on this one?

@TheAlm55 Sorry, I haven't done tabs before, but I can tell you that the verse is just plucking the D and G strings open and then barring them on the 2nd fret, then barring at the 4th and 3rd frets before hitting the strings open to end the 2nd musical phrase - the music to the song uses that 5th relationship very conveniently. Then the chorus is just F, C, G repeated ... I hope that helps.

Nice job! I think it's fun when mando players break away from "standard" mandolin genres to do rock, etc. Cool looking instrument; what is it?

The mandolin was hand made out of zebra wood and a small amount of another wood (walnut? mahogany?) by an instrument builder named Terry (I can never remember his last name) at Herb David's Guitar Studio in Ann Arbor, MI. It's a nice instrument and the sound just keeps getting better as it ages. Thanks for the comment and compliment.
