Ali, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing it with us.
May I ask how you get that recurring bass G note happening at the same time as you play the melody?

Regards,

Greg

:wavey:

That was very nice - I liked it a lot man.

I think I heard that song but I do not speak that language to know what it says.

Yeah, I was going to ask the same question like Greg.

My guessing is you had a pre-recorded track. Unless you had another oud player with you. Tell us please ...

Very well played man :applause:

I am Glad you liked it . and Thanks for complements.

Well , I had nothing Pre-recorded and nodaby was Playing with me in this piece . I Just Kept hitting my bass . This is very usual in Persian music . There is No G ,Right at the same time with melody but I play that in every little space so the echo of that stays .

having bass G or sometimes A whlile you are Playimg needs a lots of practice to gain the skill . you just need to know how and when you need to keep playing your bass while you are doing the melody and split it corectly in the empty spaces and ofcoures your instrument and the echo of your bass strings really helps . So you wouldn't need a pre-record or another Player with you . I now have the advantage of very nice sound on the bass strings with my new Oud and I really like it , Althogh you didn't tell me what you think of the sound of this Oud and the Aquilla strings on it ?
Best Regards
Ali
