My advice to you is to use a chromatic tuner. Also you should look into
some music theory websites. That way you'll be able to use maqam.com.
For example: From the D string you'll get D-Eb-E-F-F# and so on. You need to learn how many steps there are between each note and you'll be
able to figure it out.
Good Luck

here are the notes for the scale in eastern notation of do ra me fa so la si do. I am a beginner to so if im wrong please point it out.
-----------------------la b-------sol-----------fa
----------------------do---------------x-----si
----------------------fa---------------me---ra
----------------------si----------------la----sol
---------------------me--------ra-----------do
---------------------la---------sol-----------fa
as u see the notes all not on same points on each line. so roughly the notes or onthese points. the far right are open strings and correlate to
fdagcf on a 6 course. u can figure out the rest by pocess of elimination. on top string sol is played with second finger and la flat( b) with third
finger. On botton two strings . the first finger plays the midnote and the second strings playes the far left note. where as middle string u use
first and third fingers for the respective notes. the x on the top second line means the note is la flat as well. so thats my knowledge from my
recent studies hope it helps.

Don't you mean the x is Do flat?
And if your sketch is to scale, shouldn't the "La b" be the same distance from the Sol as the distance of the x from the Si (in other
words a half-step)?
Also if Fa is F, then Si is B and Re is D for the open strings, no?

I apologize, i wasnt focusing on accurate scale and it was late at night, i just wanted to put out a rough idea. I know sol on the 6ths tring is a
half step where as the x is ( i dont know how to say) on the same point as the me note under it. If u can clarify this , accept my apologies. and
you are correct si is b, the open string should be la. I beleive I made an error in my notes. Also i may have misunderstood what the x exactly
means, because on kurd sol the open 5th string is not played so I think that would be la b. I apologize for the confusion.
