This is me playing Somali oud. I use the C minor pentatonic scale. I use play a pedal tone by doing a temolo on the C string whilst playing a phrase
of the C minor pentatonic scale at the same time.
I am playing an Egyptian oud using 11 strings. I tune them BEADGC. For the tempo, I imagine Drum N Bass music and play to that drum tempo. When I say
Drum N Bass, Im talking about the electronic fast tempo music. I play and strum the strings quite hard. I hit the strings hard on root notes mainly to
follow the rhythm of the bass drum. The hit string hits usually represent the snare drum.
