I want some critical feedback on my Oud playing, guys. I'm not going to say anything else besides that the first one, part of it is a famous Flamenco
song and the rest is my own composition, and the second one is all my own composition. Well, not really, I think its more like a series of randomly
connected sequences, but whatever.
Enjoy.

Edit: OK, I managed to get it into a slightly smaller size.

Hmm, I guess my playing was that bad?
I mean, no-one posted anything, so I'm going to assume the worst here.

First is not flamenco but kind of make-believe-to-tourist that it is flamenco. Listen Paco de Lucia, this is Flamenco.
I m not musician and can not say much on yr playing.
It seems that you are using rather occidental melodies for learning oud.
You wil miss the incredible richness of 1/4 ton.
In Mike ouds you have a complete section on the classic oud maestros, real tradition. Listen to this as much as you can. Listen old oud players.

Hehe, sorry, I know it's not genuine Flamenco. It's fairly famous, though, so yeah.
Paco De Lucia is good, but I listen to Tomastito,Gypsy Kings(if you're a Flamenco purist, you're probably going to kill me for that) and Strunz &
Farah, plus some oldies like Carlos Montoya. So I'm not all that ignorant on the subject.
You caught that far eastern part? I discovered that by accident, but there's a significance I used it in the song.I'll tell you if you like.
Yes, I know I'm missing the quarter tone... I play with Hijaz maqam the most for some reason naturally , so I need to force myself to use those. I
tend to use more than one Maqam in the same song sometimes, so mabye I should try fitting in a Rast or something...
Thanks though.
