Wow, talk about a warm welcome from an audience! They really loved Farido! what great playing and charisma.I was also intrigued by the oud he was
playing, it seemed to have something like fret lines on the fingerboard. I've seen this on other ouds as well; can anyone offer any insights into
these lines- are they just purely decorative or actually mark out 'fret' positions? Thanks for posting it SamirCanada!Jameel - 9-24-2007 at 04:31 AM
I think this hani safi guy must work at a tv station in jordan or something because he comes up with those gems here and there that just blow me away.Cyberquills - 9-25-2007 at 01:39 AM
AH!
That is just wonderful. I have heard Farido play that hundreds of times and it is STILL not enough for me!!

Hi all!!
Is it possible to found the score of the first youtube post in this page?? this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NVl7SoXdF8&NR=1
Farid the best!!!!!!!!!!Cyberquills - 9-25-2007 at 06:35 PM
Hi Michoud
Hmmmn, I may be wrong but I believe that is one Farid's taqsim works. IF that is the case then it's highly likely that it was never written down.
However, some enthusiast out there may have sweated blood over it, figured it out and put it on paper.
I'm happy to be corrected if I'm off track here

Hey Samir,
That's one awsome video you pointed out of the king
I noticed that this gentleman (Hani Safi) has uploaded more than a thousand videos so far on his YouTube channel !. Really impressive effort...and
what a great collection of classics he's got
Regards,

yah I noticed too o.p.
where do you think he digs those gems up from?
do they still play this kind of nice footage in Jordan?aldokhi - 9-26-2007 at 07:33 PM
What amazing talent that creats such an atmosphere.
Plus the man was a class, look at him dressed up in a Tux and playing the oud, God bless you soul Ya Malik!

Yes Samir. My guess too is the TV.......OR....the satellite with it's zillion channels now. Occasionally you get lucky late at night seeing rare
videos of Farido....or El-Sit.....etc.....standing before your very eyes on a "Classics Channel". That's one main cause of sleep deprivation as you
can imagine

just no comment, no words can describe the feeling when u see this level of performance and the amount of love people express.
thanks Jameel.michoud - 9-29-2007 at 09:48 AM
Hi all!!
which tuning Farid used on his ouds? and in which maqam Farid played in the first taqsim of this page???
Thanksmichoud - 10-1-2007 at 08:31 AM
Come on guys!!! I´m sure somebody knows farid´s oud tuning and which is the maqam of this taqsim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NVl7SoXdF8&NR=1Jameel - 10-1-2007 at 09:04 AM
Pretty sure that's a taqasim in Kurd (on D). Looks like his tuning is CFAdgc'.Oud.Proff - 10-1-2007 at 09:04 AM

Believe it's F A D G C (and notice that he only uses 5 pairs of strings, just like the old classic ones ). Maqam is Bayyati:
scale: D, E(1/2 bimol), F, G, A, B (bimol), C, D.
Also at minute 4.05 he decorates the improvisation with some "Muhayyar" maqam (where the B bimol becomes B half bimol).Jameel - 10-1-2007 at 09:10 AM
That's right, no low D course now that I look closer.michoud - 10-1-2007 at 04:02 PM
