of an oud player.

He claims to apply violin technique (for the left hand) to the oud. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what you said 
I have the same feeling (it reminds me of a guitar sometimes too) but I kind of like that. He does have a tendency to "shred" as well, which I do not
necessarily like, but that seems to be common among turkish players...

i know what u mean about the shreding if you do it in the right amount it sounds great but i think this gentlmen over does it cos of that i think he
loses the beautiful sound of an oud
