does somebody have a oud chord fingering chart for whatever few chords there maybe on oud?

Hi Samir,
I've found that there are many chords possible on oud, especially if you focus on making mostly 3-string chords and building from there if you can.
One exercise that is cool is picking a scale and going through the chords possible for each note in the scale. For example, you could start with C
major scale and go through the possible chords on each position of the scale, using just 3-string chords.

You'll find a lot of possibilities, especially as you get more used to chording on the oud!

another way to think of chords can be to move the shapes of a six sided dice on whatever tuning you're using ( esp the 2 & 3)
Adding an open string here and there and using partial shapes can mix things up.
The " 5 " on some open tunings can be a kind of riff box too.
Just a thought!

Sorry Rootsguitar, I don't understand a word in your post with the dices.

moveable voicing exercise ( shapes made by
---------------- pressing down strings......
-----X---------
--------X------- = 3
-----------X-----
------------------
-----------------------
----X------------X----
-----------X----------- = 5 ( not for a chord shape...but for phrases limited to
----X------------X---- 5 notes.)
----------------------
hmmmmm not exactly building chords ....more for imagining a " shape approach " ----- just to mix it up!
also throw a saddle and swing up on a horse---...lol, pretty good rhythm to be gotten from those hooves...

it's 3 months im working on chords. although i've never made any chart, but changing the tuning from G-A-D-g-c-f to G-A-D-g-c-e will make a lot of
other chords possible. especially the chords needed in Bulerias, Tango and Alegrias.
