I rate your performance as excellent, i went through many of the videos, and i really thank you for the great performance, it is the only thing that makes me feel i am still in the arab world, not alone overseas :)
sounding great! I play gypsy jazz guitar and the right hand technique looks very similar-I'd love to find out if the Sinti Gypsies of Europe have a Middle Eastern backgroundat all, and if their technique came from there. Maybe it just evolved amongst them as well-maybe it's just the natural result of trying to get the most volume possible out of a plucked instrument. Do you know much about the history of the oud in Spain? Is it played there much today? Is it a very big part of Spanish culture?
playing oud in spain is a natural result . because arabs invaded spain .. and created AL ANDALUS kingdom .. they stayed there for many decades .. and the arabic and the spanish merged .. and many of arabic scinces moved to spain .. and music was one of them ...
Yeah, thanks-so is the Oud played in Spain much today? Do you know if there's any historical link between Oud playing and the Manouche jazz guitarists?
can't be so sure about the link with the Jazz style guitar, but if you consider the historic fact that the oud is the definate father of the guitar, this could probably be possible.
Hi wakee7, the melody between two scales (Maqams) one is "Hijaz Kar Kord" (i.e, Kord on C) and "Hijaz" (also on C). The melody within the time window you mentioned is based upon the latter's Maqam (Hijaz).
are you kidding me?! you start with a peace of marcel khalife the add the part that Abady eljoher plays and then you go back to marcel khalife and finish with it ...
de facto ... no improvisations at all its copy and paste! on the other hand you played it clear and very 7elwa .. so great work!!
LOL, hey hey, take it easy man ! That could very well be the case. I don't mind quoting from the greatest musicians, and combining. It's all in the background. Yea, I can see a bit of Marcel's, and a bit of Abbadi (well actually it's rather from "Asturias", oroginally by Isaac Albeniz, or the Spanish Malaguiena. Aaaaanyway, relax Max :)
I am someone who has never touched oud before and i would like to give it try and see myself where i stand.
is it possible for me to become a proff like you without knowing the basics of oud?. i am asking this because some of the people posting their vids on youtube calim that they started with full ignorance and without a help from any teacher.
Thanks kingmalik. Although it's possible to ascend and excell without a teacher for the oud in very rare cases, I would strongly recommend a teacher for at least few months, in order to get a grip on it and start feeling comfortable and confident with it. Otherwise, it can be very frustrating.
Oud's music is so beautiful, its melodies take you to another world, it comforts my mind , thanks for the masterpiece.
I just have one question: Well I've never touched an oud before and I want to learn how to play it, I need advices and the essential tools to learn it, i.e. is your DVD helpful ?
I think this is my favorite Oud (of yours) Mr OudProff. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the fingerboard is slightly raised for better action - and i dont really see a nut up there either. Looks like a sturdy instrument, and sounds balanced from high to low - very nice.
Thanks to you mitochondrion. Well, the fingerboard is standard (19.5 cm). Not sure if meant action was higher? it's also standard ~3 mm. And there is a nut (indian rosewood), although smoothly crafted. You seem to have good experience in critiquing stringed instruments by the way. Indeed the sound is rounded an balanced from low to high ends.
Thank you for providing such a great resource! I meant that I hadn't yet seen a fingerboard that didn't lay flush with the soundboard on an Oud, thinking it could possibly make for lower action (though I'm no specialist). Very nice workmanship on the nut, and as for it's sound - I guess I've been subconsciously compairing sound quality since I began playing. Either way, it's easy to critique when the playing is good!
good job brother.. where r u from?? maybe we should jam out sometime.. i play the guitar and the piano.. i would love to try to join different kinds of music together..
waw c'est extraordinaire comment tu joues maitre!!!!j'ai entendu ce morceau des dizaines de fois,mais c'est pas espagnole c'est arabe,c'est un morceau joué par farid!
Merci encore ouatou. En fait, ce morceau est essentiellement espagnol et ressemble à une mélodie connue sous le nom de "Malaguena". Mais le oud roi Farido intégré cette partie dans l'une de ses belles improvisation.
