Hey Dejan, I'm brand new gmc and this is exactly what I needed! Simple with a nice melody. Thanx man.
- Dejan Farkas1st September 2008
Great
Sometimes pre-beats can be confusing in the beginning, but once you get it will not make any difficulties any more 
juiceyJUICE31st August 2008Haaaaaa!!
I get it.
Sorry havent been on here in a while.
BUT i listened carefully and looked.
and i got it.
I was confused as to the order i was supposed to play the first measure.
But now that im looking i see that its open-open-second-third.
Yah.
Im ready to learn some more now.
lol- Dejan Farkas18th August 2008
Try this.. count one, two, one, two, and then start to play on "two"..
It was written in 2/4 signature so it has two beats per measure, it starts with the pre-beat, or the second beat of the first measure.. Does it helps? - juiceyJUICE17th August 2008
I dont get how to play the first measure.
Where the numbers are off the scale.
I bet its really simple but Im off.
help? - Dejan Farkas20th May 2008
Thank you for the kind words
- rylflusshh19th May 2008
WOW Dejan, Thanks! This piece reminds me of the Philippines were it's nice and peaceful and away from the hassle and bustle of the Rat Race in the (States) Thank you! write another one!
- Dejan Farkas28th April 2008
The backings are HERE
- Dejan Farkas27th April 2008
I will upload the backing on my instructor's board later on this evening, just let me know what tempo you need
sigma726th April 2008is there anyway to download the backing tracks to my ipod so i can practice when i am not around a computer or something?
- Dejan Farkas22nd April 2008
Well, if I write you the real chords it would be even harder to memorize it
But if I simplify it could be like this:
Em, G, C, Bm, Am, D, G, E7
Am, Em, C, D, G, E7
Am, Em, C, D, G
But it is better if you can listen the tune enough times to be able to hear it in your head - Young Shredder21st April 2008
I Would like to know the chords to memorize it better. IF you have them up somewhere, I would love to hear them.
- Dejan Farkas20th April 2008
sigma7 - thank you very much
Young Shredder - thank you for the kind words, I hope "Someone Special" will like it
And there are no lyrics for the song, it is just a motive that may be developed sometimes - Young Shredder19th April 2008
Sorry, left a thing: Do you have full lyrics? The beginning seems very nice!
- Young Shredder19th April 2008
Oh my god, this is lovely! Absolutely going to learn this and play it for my "Special Someone"! Could you please list the chords you used?
- sigma718th April 2008
thats amazing, i love the song, probably my favorite here
- Dejan Farkas18th April 2008
well, I wouldn't say that I transcribed the rain into chords.. I heard sound of raindrops on my balcony (falling from roof), which sounded something like G, E, F#, G.. took my guitar and let the inspiration to lead me through the song, I did not choose chord progression, it came naturally
- sigma717th April 2008
how did you link your inspiration "the rain" and transcribe it into the chords you used
- Dejan Farkas24th March 2008
Thank you Markus, it depends on my inspiration and I'm in a constant search for it
- Markus Roettger24th March 2008
raindrops create a beautyful calm mood - pleas write more like this.

I would like if you or anyone else record your playing of the piece and upload it to my board - Jelle6th January 2008
yeah thanks for the explanation
- Dejan Farkas4th January 2008
Thank you guys
Jelle, if you speak about this mark |--3--| above the tab, it means that these notes below that mark are triplets. Is that what you meant? - Jelle4th January 2008
this may sound stupid but hey i'm a beginner.
why are some of the note above the tab like the 3 in the first part while it sounds and looks like he picks the third fret on the high e- string?has this a special meaning?

Hi GMC and welcome to Raindrops Lesson :) It was a rainy evening sometimes in May this year when I was attracted by a sound of raindrops falling from the roof and it inspired me to write this piece. I hope you like it. :)
This piece may help you to learn and improve finger picking, it is a fairly easy one and I think you'll not have much trouble to master it. Just keep it fluent and accent the melody.
Key signature: G Major
Time signature: 2/4
Tempo: 60 bpm
Notes: 8th triplets
Enjoy :)
