Ive got a problem, im looking around in the forums and I see people request the sheet music for a song, and someone else gives it to them, where can i
learn how to look at the sheet like this one and be able to go on my oud and play it!
I would really appreciate it!

cshrem,
Unfortunately, this is a little beyond the scope of an online forum; you really need a teacher who can help you learn to read. Even if you can't
find an oud teacher, any good music teacher (especially violin, viola, cello, or bass) should be able to help you.
if you want to try to learn to read on your own, a good place to start would probably be a guitar book by mel bay. they're about $5 in any guitar
store and will get you started with reading.
I suggest guitar b/c the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings of the oud are the same as the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings of the guitar, respectively (i.e.,
oud2=guitar3, o3=g4, o4=g5) and you can study those lessons in the book.
Where do you live? Maybe someone here knows a teacher in your area.
good luck,

I've benn playing guitar for about 2 years, i can read but not as good,mustafa - 7-19-2005 at 07:08 PM
how about geting a music program for writing music I use noteworthy composer it will play it back for you you just have to take the time enough to put
the music in note by note, it quite easy, just takes time. tell you what if you get noteworthy I'll write it in for you but you have to get it first.
just look up notewothysoftware.com, let me know.Greg - 7-19-2005 at 09:13 PM
Mustafa,
I think the inputting of the notes is a very good learning process in itself. So it may be better if cshrem put the music in himself.

I love this software! Today, a friend of mine introduced me to two people, Victor Esses, and Mr. Tessone. Victor is an amazing oud player and he sat
down with me and explained how sheet music works, now I understand how to read and write sheet better.
Thanks guys,
