Ancient Egyptian Arabic Improvisation on Fretless Guitar
Loading...
Uploaded by 654321654321 on May 1, 2008
I have defretted my old classical guitar and i think its new sound resembles the sound of north african and mid eastern stringed instruments, so i decided to record an improvisation trying to create an "ancient" Egyptian or Nubian atmosphere. I also include the word "arabic" in the title because this might be interesting for someone looking for old style arabic music.
This was recorded as a "one take only" and is just what came out, nothing planned.. (i didn´t notice that is almost 7 minutes long!).
For this i´m mostly influenced by the music i´ve heard of the great Hamza El Din.
Hope you like it.

@goosesan Of course there is, it's called the Iraqi mode.

Not to mention you can control better you arpegios in a certain tone.
-
@DragonSuushi i partially agree with you, but tunning a certain way each string will give you acces to some notes, for example tunning you low 6 string to D instead of E.
-
@goosesan You can tune a guitar however you want. Saying a tuning doesn't exist is just silly.
