Makam positions without reading notation

Renato - 4-6-2014 at 06:04 PM

I don't read music, and probably never will. I've been playing saz for 15 years and ud for 10years.
Is there any book available or online resource that shows the makam positions in a manner that makes sense? I found one for Arabic makam, but it was very confusing.

Thanks,
