Hi Samir,
I've found that there are many chords possible on oud, especially if you focus on making mostly 3-string chords and building from there if you can.
One exercise that is cool is picking a scale and going through the chords possible for each note in the scale. For example, you could start with C
major scale and go through the possible chords on each position of the scale, using just 3-string chords.

You'll find a lot of possibilities, especially as you get more used to chording on the oud!

another way to think of chords can be to move the shapes of a six sided dice on whatever tuning you're using ( esp the 2 & 3)
Adding an open string here and there and using partial shapes can mix things up.
The " 5 " on some open tunings can be a kind of riff box too.
Just a thought!

moveable voicing exercise ( shapes made by
---------------- pressing down strings......
-----X---------
--------X------- = 3
-----------X-----
------------------
--------------------
--------X-----------
---------------------- = 2
------------X--------
----------------------
-----------------------
----X------------X----
-----------X----------- = 5 ( not for a chord shape...but for phrases limited to
----X------------X---- 5 notes.)
----------------------
hmmmmm not exactly building chords ....more for imagining a " shape approach " ----- just to mix it up!
also throw a saddle and swing up on a horse---...lol, pretty good rhythm to be gotten from those hooves...
-best always and no offense taken i hope.

it's 3 months im working on chords. although i've never made any chart, but changing the tuning from G-A-D-g-c-f to G-A-D-g-c-e will make a lot of
other chords possible. especially the chords needed in Bulerias, Tango and Alegrias.
