Seeking ME/NA Music Scores with Chords

John Erlich - 7-18-2018 at 10:30 PM

Greetings fellow udis,

I am planning a jam session with a flamenco guitarist this weekend. I have 3 song scores with chords that I like, despite my preference for traditional music. I am looking for more.

Does anyone have scores of good ME/NA songs with chords that they would share?

To give you an idea, these are the songs I have already:

"Oudak Ranan" (Fairouz) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO7P1DcD4tg

"Kadıköy" (Ezginin Günlüğü) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AojvVv_i5I

"Ta Smyrnaika Tragoudia" (Pantelis Thalassinos) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVUrd47qxD0

I have scores of these songs, and would be happy to post or email them.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!

Peace out,
"Udi" John

Marhaba Al-Halabi.

Thanks for the lead...good info for the future. I probably couldn't order it today (Thursday) and get it delivered to California tomorrow, unless they sell it as PDF for download.

Thanks again.
