I just felt like posting this
I'm mimicking this guy I have a video of... he's a professor in California I think... deals with music... he might be on this site...
Nonetheless, here's my copy (mostly) of his taksim...

ALSO, can anyone give me tips on how to make the sound I'm producing better? Specifically, I can hear too much of my Risha.... I really
don't like that... I just want to hear the Oud... I don't know what to do... I'm going to try the Tor-Tis thingy from Jameel...
Also, I play a bit far from the bridge... maybe I should get closer?
Thanks all

Hey John. The file sounds great, man. I think the professor you may be referring to is Ali Jihad Racy from UCLA. He's a very nice man.
As for where you play... I used to play much closer to the bridge, and it made a clangy sound. If Mike reads this, he'll remember that perfectly.
I was told that I should play a bit further away from the bridge, and I believe it did the trick.
I'm sure someone can answer your question about the dynamics of the risha and how to get rid of the slapping sound, though I do know that some
people like this sound (not the clangy one, but where you can actually hear the risha clicking against the strings). I was recorded by a friend of
mine for Church with quite an amazing sound system, and he had to put 3 mics on me to get rid of the slapping sound and bring out the richness of the
oud.
I hope you post more, buddy. It's about time someone got this started up again.

I think using a stiffer rishi will reduce the slapping sound in addition to playing farther away from bridge.

Hey guys. It looks like this thread has been forgotten by you all. Has everyone stopped playing songs and taqsims? Come on, guys! Let's get this ball
rolling again. I know there are some people here who are just starting, and this is a great place for encouragement! Let's hear what you guys got!

Found this on my computer.....
....thought I would post it before deleting it. This is a Palestinan oud by Jubran, 1988. I completely re-made most of it last fall. It sounds
allright, eh?

Thanks, Fellas You're the tops!
Brian, I just came across that file on my hard drive. My father must have recorded that with his dig cam while I was unaware or something, because I
don't remember it! It was from last fall I think, because I gave that oud back to Issa months ago. The jurjunah is great. I assume it's your
composition. Really great.

Beautiful Brian. I'm sorry I keep missing your performances. I will definitely come out soon. Please keep us posted when and where you'll be
playing.
By the way, was Megan playing violin on this recording? It reminds me of her sound.
Take care,
mavrothis

Brian, you're a great oud player, man. Thanks for posting this great clip.
I urge the rest of you to try to find some time to post a clip of you playing as well. No matter if you're a beginner, an intermediate, or a
professional. We'd love to hear you all play!

I though it was high time to revive this thread, so I went asearching on my hard drive and found this. Must have recorded it last year. It sounds like
I started off in Nahawand, but quickly switched to Rast. Who knows, I'm no expert. Let's hear again from you all......

Man Jameel, very nice. Is your oud original or have you modified it? The sound is just amazing.
