My recording
I didn't know whether to post this in the professional recording section or here ( J/K  ) Thanx to mike for converting this file again. I'm trying a style that's a little different this time.
I've been listening to naseer shamma a lot lately. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. By the way, this post is a great idea. I'm
usually left stranded until the maqam of the month poll comes along but now I can post whenever I feel like it.

Very Cool!
Wow... very interesting. You are getting a great sound in your recording - what are you using- mics, pickup?
The musical ideas are very cool - a little rough but very promising... I hear the Naseer Shamma influence definitely!
keep them coming!

Thax Lee,
I'm just using my computer mic. The reason it projects so well is because i'm playing really close to the sound hole. It's
definately rough at certain parts. My oud is really difficuly to play. It's a lower end Syrian with a terribly high action. Also, because
i'm playing so close to the sound hole, my risha get stuck at times and won't budge  . Oh well. Inshallah, I will be looking into getting a better oud in the coming months.

Hey assyrian,
Thanx for the kind comments. I was really just messing around on the oud after listening to naseer shamma. I was doing a lot of work on modulation
becuase I noticed that a smooth transition is really helpful in expressing the proper emotion. At 1:19, I start doing a lot of rhythmic stuff (I was a
percussionist before I learned oud). It stands oud because the first minute is all kind of free and spontaneous.
As far as me playing goes, this summer will close my second year of playing oud. I really don't get to listen to much kurdish music. I know
naseer shamma plays some kurdish music, but that's really all i've heard. I would love to hear some more recordings if you could direct me
to the right place.

hi;
that;s really great ya revaldo, only 2 years!! quiet impressive. I really hope I will be able to do whay you do in 10 years lol...
Did you have like a teacher and did you put like plenty of hours?? I am really interested into knowing more about the process of learning this great
instrument.
I am currently looking for an oud, I live montreal, so I will be starting to learn the oud. I will most probabily take courses.
To get back to topic, kurdish or we could call northern iraqi/north-eastern syrian/south-eastern turkish. If you listen to your clip
check the part 1:35 to 1:50, I could hear an old kurdish man singing atabat, in some sad sad song, hehe...
Listen to these folk kurdish singers:
Ma Ciziri
Naser Razzazi
Shivan Perwer

Hey guys,
Thanx again for the kind comments. Assyrian, having a background in music helps a lot. I haven't had any teaching but I do sped a lot of time
playing oud. Having a musical background makes it easier to learn on your own but the neat thing is that you can develop your own unique style of
playing.
Syd., thanx for the motivation. Unfortunately, the bridge just snaped on my cheap syrian and shot the other way and damaged the pegbox. I will be
borrowing a oud from a budy until I fix mine and inshallah, I will keep on messing around and trying out new things.
