Flying bird Question

Hello everyone,
been practicing the piece for a while now :airguitar: , and i think am at a point where i need to play it with a percussion at the background to fix the mistakes but i can't figure which "iqaa" or rythem this piece is on , the video of munir bashir i think has some kind of a Indian percussion if am not mistaken , does anyone know the beat's name ?

Hi,

It sounds like this piece is in a pretty straight 2/4 rhythm, so you could probably just use a metronome to work out any timing issues you're having.

Start out slower and work your way up to performance speed.

Enjoy,

i would say mainly fox rythm, as Mavrothis told you
but i feel sometimes you an variate on a malfuf (or named laf) rythm ( count 123 123 12)
isn't it the case on this record for exemple around 0.45 ?

practicing with rythm is great, i made good progression since i took this habit.
Have a good practice

hello, thanks for the feedback , @mavrothis yeah i use a metronome , just wanted something more fun :D
@suz_i_dil thanks for the tip i did try malfuf , i think it actually works , still couldn't get its grasp at higher tempo but it works good in medium and slow so i just need to practice much more i guess , thanks to all
