Of course one alone cant start an idea (unless he is a god
which I ain't) and it requires the cooperation of all *groans* Come on!!! I am not asking you to lift mountains on your shoulders. All i want is
some clips recorded 
Of course I know y'all
like to hear and remark on nice work, but if only one or two will post and everyone will only remark we'll get nowhere. If the critic plays Oud
it is MANDATORY to post a piece at least once.
Hope y'all will like it.
Please?! prettypleasewithsugarontop?? . So, I will give you just my personal
opinion. It sounds like your taqaseem is made of two main parts. I like the first part the most. The second (where you started from "g" is
cool too and more creative. But I like the first part because it sounds more emotional and realy give the feeling of Nahawand. Thank you (my teacher)
for this clip. I am zeyad, if you remember me. I would post a Nahawand cilp very soon.
You
piece is quite excellent (those excercises u got from Simon Shaheen work like a wonder, can i get them by mail?). I like also how you switch to the
nahawand with hijaz variant, and the ajam switch was quite unfamiliar, but it was good and fluid when you returned back to nahawand, so I guess it
wasnt bad using ajam at all there, as long as u treat it the same way u did in this piece I have nothing more to say (I feel afraid I might do the piece injustice by complimenting with words which are not enough ). Jameel i also tossed the idea in my head and I do agree that it WILL be the Maqam
of the Month, since people can be busy, and one week is not enough to get everyone's posts (I know others would love to partiipate given that
they have time), so ur proposal is granted Besides TP, Emad and the rest still
didnt post here so I dont have the heart not to wait for pieces from them. (Hope y'all are reading this). One more thing, i like how you switched
to Kurd on G when you played "Nassam 3alayna el Hawa", frankly I started to play it for a couple of hours after I heard ur piece, coz I
never played it from G, rather I always played it from A. Quite inspiring (actually i forgot that the piece was in Nahawand and later realized that I
didnt feel how u changed it). Keep up the good work mate. (of course I still
remember you ) Thanx for being a critic, in my opinion being a critic is part of
the learning process, hence essential. I agree as well to what you suggest, and I promise that I will post it quite soon, with as much details about
the maqam and variants and switches as I can. Hopefully we'll be hearing your post soon. you were right I was playing on C (some play on D, like
Farido in Ma2darshi if you saw the clip), only I tuned one step higher for reasons i'll specify later.
) We missed you. I
like this idea my friend. Just make sure you continue to do it though. We've had good ideas before, but people never seem to follow through with
them. Very nice playing for all of you guys. Jameel, your playing has improved immensely. Way to go!

Hopefully u will support the threads to come with your contributions. I like the
part where u included "Al Nahr el Khalid" (I'm not sure about the title but I think it is). Waiting for news from the stork ). I liked ur taksim a
lot, and u included most of the switches in maqams in it. Ur noodling (I feel hungry now) wasnt bad either, hope we'll get to hear more noodling
from u Farido is the best at Oud and
singing, that's why I enjoy playing and singing for Farid. Hope y'all will post as well.
