Huseyni taksim on tanbur by me

adamgood - 8-6-2006 at 09:25 AM

Hi everyone,

I decided to try recording myself today playing Huseyni taksim with the idea of seeing, well, what happens when I play husyeni taksim. after a couple takes i realized how much wanking i was doing and how i really needed to pay more attention to the seyir and to playing clearer phrases.

dunno why i haven't been doing this for the past year. man, it's really hard not to wank.

so here's my most simple taksim. I really went for getting the seyir for huseyni correct (i think it's close) and i didn't play meyan or anything fancy.

ANY feedback, positive or negative is greatly appreciated.

best,
Adam

Adam,
I am primarily a folk musician so my technical knowledge of the maqams is limited. However I have to say that your playing on this taqsim is BEAUTIFUL!!
Very soulful and unpretentious. Nice...thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Very pretty taksim Adam! Thoughtful and strong.

I'm looking forward to playing with you a little in a few weeks my friend.
