Enjoy! What do you all think? Oh, and what maqam?
<--- Me.
you're getting real good. Nahawand is
one nice scale, but TP is TP and saba has to be there too 
Of course you enticed
me after our nice (though short) chat to grab the Oud and record (knowing it's 2:20 am here ). Hope this inspires u man, coz u "voted against it" before 
Keep on the good work, and all y'all guys have to participate here too In this taksim is my first trial on the net for the "night pick" (costum made for "night owls"
) you'll need to pump up the volume coz the mic wasn't that close as I
imagined it was. first 14 secs are with the normal pick and the rest is played with the night pick. Note the success, my bro who happens to be
sleeping in the same room continued his sleep without any disturbances (hope u guys don't hear him snoring though). TP i'll make u feel
sorry u didn't give me ur mailing addy yet 
Enjoy guys.
But it's great nevertheless, I loved it. As for Sikah (huzam) here's a "short" clip I cooked
up again with the night pick, but this time I had to fix the volume of the mic to make it clearer. Enjoy guys. TP hope you're perking up your
ears for this 
Probably not, I still have a lot of studying to do. I'll post
another taksim in a makam I am more familiar with later. 
....for posting my takkasem.... and thank you mike I just cannot add attachments to other posts. Nice
playing again.
AH yes!! Woah guys Now is that a great thread or is that a GREAT thread?! What can i say? Mysticoud the file was great, like the one before. Khalid, heck
with the apologies, u ain't done anything wrong or bad, bud Saad, what can i
say, ur the usual Saad, amazing!! Of course this means commitment, and two taksims aren't enough,
so we're waiting for more, along with details about u (elrabee3's request). hope I'm not too picky in asking such a thing.
Very good Jameel . All the best man. I was really moved by your
taqseem | Quote: |
I am trying my best to learn from a
distance. My teacher is Issa Boulos, but I am 4.5 hours drive from him, so I only get a couple lessons a year. I sent a more detailed praising there, but I will not deprive u of the comments u deserve in front of all the good listeners here in the
forum: knowing u TP, good is a BIG UNDERSTATEMENT for such a taksim. And here's my response with a taksim (u can here the wood creak in the
beginning_ u know the reason man ) with a short fragment of my perspective in kurd.
Hope y'all will like it. I was also experimenting my new custom-made pick: soft, but gives a good sound, enhances the rashat (when u rapidly and
repeatedly pluck up and down), far better than the blunt thick pick; however a slight loss in control is an issue here I guess no pick can be perfect. Anyways, the sound quality isn't quite the
best either coz I had to compress and recompress the file to a suitable size. Enjoy Kurd on G: I hope u do reconsider reposting or u can send it to my email if u don't find it troubling for u:
bahleh13@yahoo.com. Thanx a lot man Geez guys, that's too much. TP I really hope u liked it, u know it comes
from the heart (I think u can understand what I mean). Ur comments have truly struck me profoundly bashful. By the way what is ur
email?! Do u have an MSN or yahoo account? Maybe we can meet online sometime, I'm intrested in talking and sharing some bits of Oud info with u.
Anyways, I have downloading ur taksim from ur post was an honor to me and I am lucky Mike didn't erase the post yet Don't embarrass me by letting me play alone. Good work both of u. Jameel I like ur
Oud's sound a lot and ur playing seems more advanced than the status u gave us previously TP, u catch on very quick to that particular technique, a lot earlier than I did TP and Jameel u both rock Enjoy I'll definitely stcik around for
that thread. I cooked up this little piece with a little surprise in the end
Hope y'all will like it. I won't be able to keep up with your weekly maqam challenge (especially since I don't really know the maqams), but maybe
if you made it every two or three weeks, that would give everyone some more time. Here is a little bit in Rast (at least in the beginning--with a
modulation to Nahawand and Bayat on G (I think) Man, when I read that there was a
surprise, I didn't think it'd be that. What a great surprise!| Quote: |

, and have so much to say ….so do not be shy to give your opinions….
This is how we all can learn more from each other, particularly beginners like myself. ? 
. Thank you for posting your Rast. It is a nice and happy
taqaseem . ..just to establish
the Rast mood first , then you change to other Maqams. Man... you play with confident and have control of you Oud. It is hard to believe you played
for only 10 months. Congratulations. "funny word ?" that maybe the reason why I did not feel the
Rasteeeeeee feeling so much or as I expected J . By the way, playing long taqaseem is really hard for me, you seem to have not problem playing long
taqaseems…any advice? I just
pretended like I wasn't being recorded... I seem to play better if I'm not under pressure to impress anyone. When I finished, I noticed how
long it was, and I was going to post a little disclaimer that said: WARNING! What you are about to hear is very long. I look forward to hearing from you again, and thank you for your
comments. because i can tell you play the D note a lot "you start with
D a lot and sometimes end on D, too" How about if we hear Higaz or Saba on D from you next time? peace! If anyone has a different opinion let him dare and come up and I'll prove him wrong. Sydney I do feel sorry for
the state u r in, and dunno in which way to console u. Anyways I'd love to share ur sorrows, at least by listening to the taksim, if u don't
mind. I dunno what the other guys think, but at least u know my wish is truly from the heart If that's the way to get great music from you all, then I'll be here every day asking you for a piece.
