I have "Ud Methodu" by Serif Muhiddin Targan.

It is in Turkish, but it's 175 pages of sheet music exercises, etc.

Following some sheets there are usually a few lines of explanation, which if you really want to understand, you can probably use a Turkish dictionary (this is not heavy litterarure).

So overall it's excellent

hi
I was wondering, what is the tunning he uses. I have a 5 course lute and i was browsing through the book and I could see that he has quite a few high notes. (I dont speak a word of turkish)

It's more of a set of technique exercises - it does give some good fingering pointers for fast melodic runs. It's not a complete "method," though.

He's tuned Turkish - high d. However, he routinely plays at the octave of each string.
