Hi,
To answer your first question, The only time that i play non maqam when i smoke 'weed' or 'mariwana'. But i started oud playing some simple songs and
then start to learn maqams. You can not play music without maqams or scales.
I play spanish music, You can call flamenco arabic version and i used my fingers but it is very limited, like for few seconds during the play, but not
as main playing techniq.
