From this project I learned:
- Camera angles are a lot easier when not using a mic, which can block view of hands
- Less is more when it comes to accompaniment w/ oud

Well Done! And one take! :)

Thanks Ali.

It's a Shehata oud purchased about 10 years ago. Strings are Aquila Corde also purchased a long time ago. I believe these type of strings are not made anymore, as the company has changed their product. I should buy more strings for backup, I wonder how much different the new ones are from the old.
