taqsim ussak

I discovered recording myself is a good way to hear where my weak spots are, and sharing is always good as well, as here is a taqsim in ussak. I would like to say that the style I'm trying to develop is a mix of arabic and turkish but my technique in turkish style playing isn't great. I tried to work on that in this taksim (though it might have got lost in the middle..). here it is

What is the Turkish style? I only know about Arabic style from what you told me about Finger Locking, but I have no idea what Turkish players do.

This taqsim starts to get really good at about 1:50 untill 2:20. In that time I thought to myself, wow that is really really good, if you told me that was Sunbati or any other top player, I would have believed you!! :airguitar:

I think I prefer your Rast taqsim though, but please, upload more, I enjoy listening to your taqsims! :bowdown:
