Where to start?

zsezse4 - 12-30-2012 at 02:56 AM

Hey im new to these forums and the Oud itself. I got it as a present and i did not know what it was. I took it to many stores and they had no clue what it was (I live in the United States). I began my own research and found out it was an oud. I tuned it and it sounded amazing and now i just want to know where to start. ive played guitar for 6 years if that helps.

If you tell us where you live, someone might know a teacher or fellow oudi who can help you get going.
