Hi everybody,
So here is on the exercises that I loved to play:

This one is made to enhance the picking precision while keeping the oriental soul to the thing.
So let's not forget that we play oud not guitar ;) .
Tell me what do you think...

Ihab actually it sound far better than an exercise, as you wrote you kept the oriental soul to the thing, I liked it

Thank you Benjamin, it is very important not to forget the soul and the feelings even when we play fast :)
That's the beauty of oriental music.
Cheers,

Kata, don't be mean, be good! Nice experimentation despite the oud is not well tuned, especially the c string but the exercise is a good idea.

Hi there

I really like your style, nice sounding oud who made it?)... or at least you get a great sound from it, you draw out the sustain and resonance - I like it :D

That thing of practice ... I always think that whatever you play , excercises or pieces or whatever - always PLAY them, don't just practice dryly, even if it is 'just' picking exercise - so I like the way you practice:D:D

I like your other stuff aswell, you are not too far from us, perhaps we could meet up at our nxt UK oud meeting!!!! we could make it a Northern European thing ... then Anglo American, then ........?????:))

Play well

Leon

sorry ihab,according 2 my ear the nylon c is slightly below the note.(the 2 c's are correct 2gether though) no big deal anyway, it happens. There is no offense in the comment.
