Ousak giving a song lesson on his bouzouki. A simplified version of Kourkoulis hit "Mera me ti mera", targetted for beginner and intermediate players. I was a bit reluctant with this song, as it requires quarter-tones to sound good, a keyboard is better playing such introductions. For the bouzouki to make it sound good and professional, you need a lot of trills and expertise with this tsigganiko style of music. Anyway, I simplified it for you by resorting to the dromo Neva-Ousak, a combination of Diatoniko minore and Ousak. Also have in mind that prior to the chorus, it does a bit of Hitzaz. I played it in LA, same key as kourkoulis original. Assume you are playing in La Ousak, with passing notes F# and B. For the hitzaz part C becomes C#. The chorus is the same as the intro. Remember, this recording has been simplified and it not using quarter tones, nor advanced techniques such as super-fast trills. I'm sure this recording will help you figure it out. Good luck...
