Rahim Alhaj's tuning
Bonjour!
I just received Rahim Alhaj cd's "Second Baghdad".
I like it a lot , at first listening...remind the Baschir feelings, sometime closed to andalus and flamenca music.....The high notes playing, with
many harmonics is wonderfull....
I don't practise oud for a long time, so I'm not able to understand the way his oud is tuned. It seems to have a C and a g chord in the medium, a G
chord bass, a high c.
I think I don't hear a bass extra C under the high c, prehaps there is an extra high chord ( f, g ? ).
I'm sure to find here someone able to tell me how it's tuned!
Thanks
Francis

On "when the soul is settled" he tunes a semitone higher you can put a capo on first position to study. The open tuning is F C d g c f. Hope this
helps, Ive just ordered the cd you mention, & will see if I can work it out. C

Somebody from this forum (maybe Marina?) once E-mailed him and asked him for his tuning. I can't find the topic where his reply was posted, but
perhaps somebody else has it at hand.
