Naddad,
You are correct, in my opinion. Thinking of all the Arabic and Arabic style style oud players I've heard, I hear far less carpma from them than I have
from the Turkish and Armenian players. The technique is used, but differently, and sparingly. Regarding your speed, of course it is difficult. If it
was easy anyone could do it!  -- Seriously, just keep at it slowly and
cleanly and the speed and proper sound will come.
The maestro video linked by oud.sounds is really pleasing. It reminds me of a beautiful taqsim recorded by Nabil Safi (son of Wadi Safi) sometime in
the '80s. In any case, it is very much in the tradition of Farid Al Atrache. I have seen that right hand technique demonstrated (the part where the
camera was pointed at the ceiling--everywhere but on the player!!  ) The
melody notes are alternated with a triplet on the first course (open). The triplet is always picked "up-down-up," so that the risha hand is set up to
strike the melody note downward, and in turn, to begin the next triplet with an "up." At speed, it sounds like a continuous tremolo on the first
course. (By the way, I have been trying to master this technique for a long time, with not much success).

Oud type
Hi Naddad,
My oud is a Gawharet-El-Fan one according to the supplyer. I cannot validate it since there is the plain sticker in the Oud it self. But he is a good
guy and I rely on him.
I think it is a hybrid Egyptian/Iraqi oud.
Have a nice day.
