beginner oud attempt
Here is my attempt at improvisation on the oud. I don't know much about arabic style, so please excuse my western style! I hope to get some more up in
the coming weeks and show some improvement. constructive criticism is welcome

Sounds good...
I used to play bass about a million years ago, so I'm really used to using my fingers and not a pick/risha.... so I really struggle with hitting the
strings in a proper manner...
If you do a search on risha technique on this site, there are lots of articles...
Also, SamirCanada made this for me to help me with my poor technique....

Yeah I have been working on my risha technique, but my risha is very cheap plastic and just doesn't sound like it should.
Here's another recording I did this morning. Criticism is appreciated

Hey the recording didn't attach....
When I bought my oud, it came with a risha made from a zip tie.... It works really well, and I haven't found anything better yet....

Reid,
The second sounds 100% better... the pauses really give it something....
Keep it up!

LoL Chris I made that risha from the zip tie.
I also thought it was the best one possible for that oud.
