Beginner recording

Amos - 4-10-2005 at 10:30 AM

Hi everyone,
I am a relative beginner on the oud, but I am completely in love with the instrument and I can't seem to think about anything else! I am attaching a clip of a tune that I wrote on the oud that I made only a few months after I started seriously studying the instrument. It is full of pitch mistakes and clumsiness, but its the only recording I have of my oud playing, as I do not record with the oud much...I am not too confident on the instrument yet, but I am practicing as much as possible. I mostly play Turkish and Armenian stuff so far, but I am getting a new Shehata oud soon and am looking forward to learning a lot more Arabic material. This recording was made on a Kyvelos oud.
Anyway, forgive the amateurish recording and send me positive energy for improvement on this amazing instrument!
All the best, Amos
