Mr. Shamma's tuning
Hello folks! I'm trying to transcribe and study "An eastern love story" from Naseer Shamma, and I was watching to a videoclip of this song. I noticed
that the fingering he uses are pretty different from mine, I guess it depends on the tuning he uses. My ouds are tuned CFADgc. Does anybody know the
tuning(s) Mr. Shamma uses?
Many thanks, Peppeo.

Standard tuning among Iraqi musicians are: F C D g c f for 6 course (Shamma). For 7, F C (A) D g c f b and for 8 C F A D g c f b. Bashir used C D g
c f F.
Best wishes

Hi Dubai!
those letters are the international signs for notes and chords. The notes DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI are substituted with the letters (in order) C D E F G
A B. That means that when you say CFADGC tuning you mean a DO FA LA RE SOL DO tuning? Right?
See you, Giuseppe.

I thought that these are only Americas while the DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI are international.

I think it would be fair to say that both systems are used, to some degree, in most countries. However, the naming of notes A to G (Boethian notation)
goes back to Rome in the 5th century, whilst "Solfege" was not introduced until 500 years later.
Regards,
Greg
