Bouzouki with quarter tones (Ston erota sou liono) by OUSAK

[mcFifo2007]

dear ousak, did you get the bouzouki build with the extra fret? or can that be added by a luthier?

[OUSAK]

@mcFifo2007 You can do both. For this one I had it done during construction. Most get them added later.

Since then I've had it removed.

[mcFifo2007]

@OUSAK thanks for the reply! do you think it would sound good on a trixordo?

[OUSAK]

@mcFifo2007 Den to systinw gia trixordo. Prepei na exeis kai skylladiko peksimo kai na exeis gyftiki psyxi. Kalitera se tetraxordo pou exei xamiles xordes kai na paizei eykola.

[bouzoukiwonderlol]

how did you learn this?

[aetos81]

Hi Ousak. You're a great player....I've been following you for a while. A couple of years ago you sent me a couple of songs by a Cypriot singer. They were "o ellinokyprios" and "kypros mou vazanismeni".....Do you remember the singer's name? I've been trying to look him up on-line or see if he's released c.d.'s but these songs are nowhere to be found on-line. Thanks.....Stephanos. Xronia Polla!

[scaleshort]

On my profil are 3 videos - but I don't think that you will be happy, because this is improvisation of anarchy... Music of my town Celje, who stays on massgraves from 1945.

[scaleshort]

Thanx. I'm Slovenian. I listen music, politic or nationality doesn't matter. I make microtonal music on fretless guitar - that's why I asking. Thanx for answer, Actooon 1967'

[OUSAK]

post some vids of microtonal music on your guitar. I love that music!

[scaleshort]

Albanian music? Fantastic! <3<3<3 BRAVO!

[OUSAK]

It's a Greek song, but the music has a mid-east flave.

Call it what you want I guess.

[trelyteo]

In fact zitohellas, in the song is a sazi not an outi,anyway nice playing ousak, like allways !

[OUSAK]

The quarter tone is between A# and B when played in Am, or in this case, between G# and A

[CaptainRed]

so it's between an A and an Ab?

[mothball1972]

Hi.Can I ask what tuning you are using.Thanks.

[OUSAK]

Normal bouzouki tuning, but 1 tone lower. Thus Bb-Eb-G-C.

I only did so the strings are looser, giving it a more soft saz sound.

[OUSAK]

The main reason for untuning it by 1 tone, was to match my quarter tone scale to the G key.

[zitohellas]

ston erota sou liono is played with outi copaniamento, not electornic saz. either way, good job with the quarter tones.. oraios!

[niavent]
