beautiful, I really like you style. I liked the modulations to iraq as well.
but next time you make a video let us see you other hand and maybe even your face too, why not?

Thanks Masel, you also let me correct the name from Sika to Iraq...
it is more accurate because the bas is Iraq and not Sikah... I am not sure if it is rahat al arwah also...

Yes the note is iraq but there is also maqam iraq, which you used in your taqsim. Maqam iraq is segah on the note iraq followed by bayat on dugah. I think you could say the taqsim is mostly in huzam, rahat el arwah (if I'm not mistaken) combines from the note iraq the maqamat huzam, hijaz, bayat and nahawand on yegah, like in the songs fat el ma3d and sirt el7ob, by Um Kulthum.
