RIALAS Bouzouki, Funky Titsanis "Το μπουζούκι στα σαλόνια"

Hi Guys. This piece was a little harder to play than I expected. I have added a second bouzouki in places however what you hear on the first bouzouki is exactly what you see on the video (played live). The drum section was tricky and it is quite difficult to play this tune with a band and to sound groovy because in the middle section there are a few bars of 11/16 and unless someone like Dave Weckl (Chick Corea) is playing the drums, it can sound a bit messy. My guitar solo was also tricky as I have only recently removed the frets. Hope you enjoy. Costa.

Yiasou Costa, poli oraia paizis..I have the same exact bouzouki but the only difference may be the trust-rod..do you have one on this bouzouki? I have one on mine and its hard to keep up with the sound because of temperature changes lol

[Rialas]

Thank you. There is no trust in this instrument. I have a problem with humidity. When the air is dry the neck comes forward and the action is higher. But generally its ok.

I see you liked johns violin playing. lol. Nase kala.

Nothern cal, bay area.

Hard to find good bouzoukis here. So ended up buying a baglama in Crete when I was visiting. Later found there is a shop in San Francisco near the wharf that carries a few bouzoukis.

Where you @?

[MrNorthernloon]

@rakaab Where are you in the States?

@MrNorthernloon
