help with taqasim

habeebkum - 3-13-2005 at 12:15 PM

hello everybody. i just want to say thanx to all the oudists out there that have helped me start to play the oud seriously. been playing guitar for a few years. the oud has so much more depth and i love it. i have gone thru all the lessons and can play most of the pieces from the video's on the instructional video section. but i am srtuggling a little with taqasim. so i wondering if any of you pros can post clips of the first taqasim you learned and i will hopefully pick it up by ear if i listen to it enough times. and of course any advice will be very appreciated. thank you

Check this thread. The first links are broken, but the very last post has the same files attached.

thanx jameel. it sounds like something i might be able to play. i could only hear the attempts of the other guys, not the original clips in ur posts or ur own attempt and i am quite curious to hear it! but i'll work on and post something in a couple of weeks if i can figure out how! thanx again
