That's alright for some occasions especially if its your friends. But far as professionalism goes they should spare some decency. They lose the
credible player u are! Not your fault, Their Lost though......

I personally can not stand the new school that uses guitar technique. Shamma was interesting during those early years, but then with his rising
popularity and power, he said very negative about other musicians that could have been unsaid. Cynicism was to market a new playing technique
specifically for people with disabilities but it was more to play on peoples emotions and promote himself. I am still waiting to hear about a
disabled, who can play with this new technique. He certainly knows how to get positive publicity.
Best wishes

My first meeting with Shamma illustrates an interesting point thru a funny story......
A good Italian friend (wonderful musician) knew that for years I was searching for a good oud teacher (this was 10 years ago)... he wrote me one day
that he heard the BEST concert of his whole life, and it was an amazing oud player named Naseer Shamma, whom he met after the show.
The next time Shamma came to play in Ravenna, my friend invited me down to see the concert... I appreciated the performance but it was not the
style of oud playing that I am personally interested in. He played a lot of romantic sounding stuff with a lot of chordal things. . . .
Afterwards I was discussing it with some of my Italian muscian friends who all said how much they liked it ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE USED CHORDS AND
HARMONY, AND HOW NORMALLY ORIENTAL MUSIC IS SO MONOTONE AND HARMONICALLY FLAT!
