here's the last part. nice job again bud.

revaldo29 - 12-8-2005 at 07:03 PM

Sagr, man take it easy on us. We can't handle that much good playing all at one time! But seriously, you're playing is fantastic. Let me ask you though, how do you tune your oud when you played that last farid taqassim. I can never seem to land the right notes when I play Farid's music.

When I typed the above message, I had not listened to the entire recording. You sir, are a pro.

Sagr,

Fantastic playing, thank you very much for sharing it with us.

Regards,

Greg

Elie Riachi - 12-9-2005 at 05:15 PM

Impressive Quraish. Farido in the making, your playing has the soul.

The sustain you are getting from the oud is good. How long have you been playing and what are the specifics of the oud you played for these pieces?

Great job man.

Elie

SAGR QURAISH - 12-9-2005 at 10:18 PM

HEY ALL..thankx a million for all of ur great remarks.....ellie...the oud im playin on is the one for sale...its by m7md fadel..made in 1965..bashir style.all pieces are played by the same oud.ive been playing for almost 6 years now....but its not how long ive been playing..its how long i practice that really makes the diffrence;).....hey revaldo..when i started to practice on fareed's tagseems..i never landed a single note right..i still dont...but im getting closer and closer the more i practice and more i listen to the tagseem...there are still a lot for me to learn...i pretty much dont really know the rules for the maqamat.....i just play what i hear..unlike farido...he actually understand what his doing...thats y his the king. hopefully one day ill understand them as well as he did. BTW.. regarding the tuning...i usually tune it the same way he has it tuned..on his video in the video section...the one where its black and white...1st u get the 5th string tuned...then with that u tune the second..and with that u tune the 4th...then with that u tune the 1st ...last u do is the third....hope its helpful to u.it has ben my pleasure to share these tagseems with all of u...i glad to b a part of mikes website..it has helped me learn a lot..and introduced me to the king himself.farid.

Samir, give me one week bro. My last finaly is Friday the 16th and then I'm a free man. I do have to figure out a way to get better quality recordings. I'm getting tired of using a computer mic.

Sagr, I'm confused about the tuning method. Do you know the specific notes or do you just tune by ear?

hisham - 12-10-2005 at 08:47 AM

Nice playing sagr

I have only listened to the first one . YOU also played abadis song "tebeh" and did a good job but you have to concentrate on the high note .Keep up the good work

Good luck

san3any - 12-11-2005 at 12:01 PM

hey..I just read what you wrote Yazoul2K..... I guess it would be a good idea if we meet together.... I already met Sagar Guraish... and it was a great experience to learn from each other... I hope we can meet again.. THE THREE OF US...

Hello all fine people in DC/VA,

I live in Fairfax and would like to meet up with you guys who live in this area. I am new to oud but originally a guitar player and have a decent home studio with few toys (Korg Triton, Roland JV-80, Ensoniq ASR-10 synth/samplers, Ibanez, Cordoba and Norman guitars). I had an entry level Egyptian oud (by Murad Turkey?) that was very difficult to tune. So it ended up in the closet. I would appreciate your help in getting a good oud. I will be glad to help you record some of your fine playing or to host jamming session once I put back my studio together (most likely in January).

SAGR QURAISH - 12-12-2005 at 09:27 AM

hey all...hosam that sounds like a good idea...ill b back in the late december.hisham..yes ur right i just started learning that song..so im still workin on it....revaldo...no i dont know he exacts notes..i just do it by ear.

akram - 5-12-2006 at 11:17 PM
