Cheese shop sketch!

[zePippin]

is it hard to play it?

[KJRUSS0]

@zePippin I never played one, but it's no different than playing a regular guitar technique wise. Really, once you mastered any instrument in the guitar and lute families, you should be able to transition between different instruments easily, just like how people who play woodwinds can go from flute to saxophone. The only hard part would be learning the different scales and styles of playing for these instruments, which is all memorization.

[arsene737]

@KJRUSS0

That's only half true, it definitely helps if you already mastered the guitar speed-wise, and to some extent of course it pays to already be used to stretching your fingers, but technique on a bouzouki is significantly different - I would go as far as to say it takes a complete different way of thinking: not in scales, but modes. In that respect, it's much closer to flamenco guitar. Of course, it does give you a bit of a headstart.

what exactly is the difference between bizouki and mandolin?

[lolbrief]

@hesslercommawinston i think it's the amount of strings, as the bouzouki has only six strings and the mandolin has,... well uhh more

[Israbit]

Your'e a true master of the Bouzouki !!!

All the best Wishes for you & for the Greek nation !!!

Όποιος ξέρει , να μου απαντήσει.Είμαι 16 και απο όσο παλιά θυμάμαι άκουγα λαϊκή μουσική και απο πάντα μου άρεσε το μπουζούκι ,και ήθελα να άρχισω αλλά δεν ήξερα ότι υπάρχει εξάχορδο και οχτάχορδο μπουζούκι και έχω μπερδευτεί.Τι να αρχίσω απ'τα 2;;

[kouneli123]

@tasosdiamantis

8 χορδο....... απλα..... αν ξερεις 8χορδο μετα παιζεις ανετα 6χορδο με ένα απλό κουρδισμα........ ασε που με το 8χορδο μπορεις να κάνεις περισοτερα ανεβάσματα......

το 6χορδο πιστεύω οτι θα σε κρατήσει λίγο πίσω.... είναι πιο πολύ για ρεμπέτικο.... αν έχεις τέτοια ακούσματα χαλαρά για εκεί,,,,, αλλα και πάλι εγω λέω 8χορδο.....ξεκίνα εσύ και όλα θα έρθουν μόνα τους.....ΚΑΛΗ ΑΡΧΗ και διάβασμα φίλε μου.... και μάθε Ν~Ο~Τ~Ε~Σ..... πιστεύω πως είναι το πιο βασικό απο όλα!!!!!

[OlympianPierian]

@tasosdiamantis Καλύτερα ξεκίνα με 8χορδο1 είναι σχετικά πιο ευκολο...

is their more than one kind of Bouzouki? cause this one seems bigger that some other ones

[Monathikos]

there are 8 stringed and 6 stringed, some 8 stringed bouzoukia have larger bowls than others, based on the preference of the louthier, and most 6 stringed are the same size as 8 stringed, all depends.

[thomasoring]

Thats really mindblowing! You are VERy talented! take this from a fellow musician. Damn :O)

[AaronOG1]

Nuguns is a song by System of a Down

[krakhaid]

Nile uses them alot, and the difference is that Karl Sanders is actually an extremely proficient player of it. Malakian is mediocre at best.

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Nile got me interested in the bouzouki/baglama, fucking love Karl.

[krakhaid]

I actually just bought a baglama. Every time I pick it up, I can't help but play the unas interlude. I'm hasssenkrieg on the forum.

[FormerlyMrBean667]

I'm still looking for one!

You can guess who I am on the forum...

[krakhaid]

Yeah, you must be Daemonium lol.

Anyway, I just took his advice and got one off ebay for about $200.

bouzouki comes from the Turkish instrument called: BOZUK SAZ

[GreekEaglePower]

wrong! the first bouzouki ever build was in Greece! and then did other countries stole that from us : )

[VizardMaskedSoldier]

Well no. Saz is an instrument that came from komuz or kopuz more than 4000 years ago.

bouzouki is first made in 1900

And saz before even the Ottoman.

as you can see it is stolen from the Turks, thats why it is called BOUSOUKI from BOZUK SAZ

[gerodinis]

Look guys, I'm Greek but he is right. Bouzouki was not a Greek instrument.

But the guitar was ;-)
