La-Mi-La-re-sol-do-fa Matta oud

Souheil.... Thanks for sharing the Samaii... it's a bit beyond my ability to play for now... But I really like how you incorporated the strum into the phrases... and I like the balance between playing lower and higher notes... I really like how it swings.... especially the part around 3:15

Also like the Caprice... BTW what is a Caprice... I tried to google it, but all I got were links about Cars

thanks for the link Samir. I realized that the last part I am playing it wrongly (I Removed the samaii from youtube). I need to go back to the music sheet. You know when you love a piece you consider it your own and then you make your own way of doing it.
Thanks Chris. Caprice's meaning has nothing to do with cars) Actually, it's a form of music developed by Paganini, the greatest violist. He wrote 24 caprices. Youtube paganini and caprice. Caprice is a synonym of quirk or impulse.
In the Oud world, few composers have written caprices. The ones that exist are mainly influenced by western music such as Jameel BAshir caprice

or Targan caprice

Or naseer shamma caprice

When I began being aware of this form of music and practicing them I didn't find a pleasure doing such music. I always have a tendency switching to oriental makaams.

Nice playing kata

thanks Oudism
