This tune popped into my head today so I made it into a karsilama, not too fancy just for fun. Excuse the metronom I was still getting used to that
rhythm.. As usual comments and criticism welcome.

Thanks to give us this sound share, Masel.
I like it very much and I'm impress by your right hand technique....
I don't know what a karsilama is, could tell me?
And don't excuse yourself for the metronom, but tell us what kind of metronom you use, the sound is rather pleasant for such an implement.
I don't want to say more because I'm a beginner in oudism, sure that advanced players have other comments to send.
Thanks again!

Thank you very much Francis. Karsilama is a type of 9/8 rhythm from the area of turkey and the balakans, if you listen to turkish gypsy music you will
often hear this rhythm which I think is very driving and lively.
The metronome is a software called weird metronome (http://www.pinkandaint.com/weirdmet.shtml), which is very good because its free, very small and you can program any rhythm you want into it, with
many sounds which is useful for distinguishing dum, tek and so on. Here is the karsilama rhythm I wrote: 303030111 with 268 bpm. It's very useful for
practicing new rhythms!

The first time That I listen to the 9/8 rythm of the end of the tune, I thought it looks like macedonian, thracian or south bulgarian 9/8 I use to
play on the cittern or gaida.
I heared also such rythms in a Ross Daly cd ( Kin Kin ).
Thanks also for the link about metronome, I'll have a look and I'll try to program some basics to help staying into the rythm when playing alone
