RIALAS Bouzouki Lesson 001 (Agalma)

I have recorded this song as simply as I can but trying to keep it musical. It is a touch slower than it would normally be played. The hammers are a very important part of the bouzouki playing style and you have to synchronize accurately with the plectrum to be affective. I have uploaded a seperate file of just the backing for you to practice along to once learnt. Thanks.

I find these lessons really fascinating!

Because Rialas is in London and all the comments are in ta Ellinika - lol.

When I lived in London I knew lots of immigrants who spake very little English and I recall they would be highly offended if I spoke to them in bad Spanish/Greek etc.

The other thing about this lessons is that there is no mention of how to tune the Greek Bouzouki.....

So Rialas, how is the Bouzouki tuned?

I enjoy your clips but I find them hard ti follow as lessons because the phrases are played so quickly. I would love it if they were broken into individual phrases. Will you ever do Siko Horepse Koukli Mou?
