I have joined the learn oud site, web-based out lessons run by Ali Hassan, it's fantastic and I strongly recommend it to any one who wants to learn,
the instructions are in Arabic but he's in the process of also including english instructions as well. it includes a section on how to properly tune
the oud and lessons on all the major maqams and the associated taqseems.

I do not like his style. Always that I hear playing western music with an oud I feel disappointed. What pleases me from the oud are his vibratos and
glissandos. To play it in such an inexpressive way is better to use a lute or a guitar.

I usually feel the same way but I also think that the oud is such a wonderful instrument, it shouldn't be restricted to only eastern music. I think
it is viewed as a 'niche instrument' by most composers. Just something to give a piece of music some eastern flavor. While it certainly works well
doing this I think it is capable of so much more.
I'm sure there was a time when people in the middle east scoffed at the idea of using a western instrument like the violin for eastern music. I think
it also works the other way around.

..after somebody was asking him at the woodstock festival: why you are playing westernmusic with your Sitar ? Ravi Shankar the great master answers "
it does'nt hurt the spanish guitar when you play some other stuff exept the flamenco with it"
my teatcher in morrocco allways plays a peace of mozart on his oud , becouse he loves mozart
...why not!!!
best regards
