Sedaraban Saz Semai

The Sedaraban Saz Semai by Cemil Bey is one of my all-time favorite compositions. I've wanted to be able to play it since I bought my first oud. I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I finally have it to a point where I can at least play through it without too many mistakes, and can get close on most of the notes. So I was excited to make a video of it today...

Thanks Jonathan. I'm leaving the video up, but I'm not crazy about how I played it. It's a bit too sped up in a few spots, a number of the tones are off, etc.. I also want to be able to add some nice ornamentation. But I'm working on it!
