Nice

I like the Nahawand feeling a lot

By the way what differencies or common things have the Shur with the beyati?

thank you both.
i should of just called it bayati, i just named the file that way so i would remember it. shur is the azeri/persian equivalent of arabic bayati or turkish ussak, they just have different flavours you could say..
on the lower octave of the azeri tar (like at 1:20 here) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZmSsUJ5xCU the third and sixth notes (in arabic tuning Fa and Sib) are lowered by about one comma, sometimes the Fa can be played also as a FAb, there is some more microtonality happerning in shur which i used plus some phrases which gave me the feeling of shur.
here is a really nice oud kamanche and balaban playing azeri shur.
