Turkish Oud Method Vol.1 by Baha Yetkin

Hello everyone,

My Turkish oud method volume 1 has just been released on my Bandcamp page as a paperback book. You can order from the link below. Also, it will be online stores (Google, Apple, and Amazon) soon. I have also prepared videos of all exercises with explanations. Those videos will be accessible on udemy.com in a few weeks. Please follow my Instagram page to be informed about those (@yetkinbaha).

In this book, you are going to find Turkish-style Oud exercises written by Baha Yetkin.
This book is the first volume of three, it is for beginner-level learners, and uses basic English to make it understandable to even non-native English speakers. Our tuning is going to be D, A, E, B, F#, and C# from bottom to top (highest pitch to lowest).

A subject that I became aware of during my years at the conservatory, and concerning which my frustration grew over the years, pushed me to write this book on top of my other ongoing works today. We have a musical heritage more than six centuries old and we are still trying to convey this to the future by word of mouth, not in writing. With this system, this culture will eventually disappear or change. I have prepared this book in order to do something to prevent this, if only by a little bit, and to ensure that this great legacy is left to the people who come after us. This book will be my first work to be published and there will be more to come both for the oud and for Turkish music.

Bravo !!!
