Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an Arabic tuning version of Asdik Aga's Bashraf Kurd? I have one in Turkish notation, but would love
to find an Arabic version...let me know if you have any ideas and thank you!

i was recently at the Yordal Tokcan seminar in crete, and of course all the notation was turkish, which i am not used to at all. by the end of the
week though i managed to read it.
don't think about the notes, think about finger positions. for example the middle do in arabic tuning kurdan and in turkish it is chargah. middle la
in arabic is husseini and in turkish dugah etc. etc. it might take some getting used to but now i can easily read either way whether i'm playing on a
turkish or arabic oud, so it's a big advantage.
give it a go
