"The Coming of the Rain" (original mandolin instrumental) by Doug Newman

"The Coming of the Rain" is a mandolin tune I wrote about 4 years ago. Here I've added a little different bridge part from what I've had before. The new part is a little rough yet.

could you tab this out for me by chance? i would love to learn this. it is beautiful.

I could I suppose but I don't really have the time right now. I'm really swamped with stuff. All I can tell you is it's in a standard tuning. I don't really know what the chords are. Mainly part of the sound is from me fingerpicking it - using my thumb as a kind of drone sound on the base strings while the melody is picked with my index and middle fingers. If I do get around to tabbing it out I'll be sure to let you know. Glad you like it! Thanks!

Nice riff, get some drums behind that

I love the backdrop! And the fingerpicking is a nice touch. Good job!

@TheDoctorcasey no on this one all I had to do was adjust the saddles height with the adjustable saddle.

I don't remember the exact model number but I think it's the same. I paid about $60 for it in '05 - looks like it's come down $10 now and has nickel tuners. I just bought the oval hole model of theirs for $70 and am very happy with it too. A little different tone - projection. Every Rogue I've had has been well made and very worth the money.
