Hi everybody, after a little hiatus I have resumed practicing me Turkish ud.
I am looking for some more beginning level Turkish saz samai, peşrevs, bestes, or similar type pieces to work on. i already play about 15- 20 things so i kinda know what i'm doing but at a basic level. Makam I am doing are rast, acemaşiran, mahur, hicaz, beyati, uşşak, hüseyni, and evcara. i would like some more of these makam, but to also start work on saba, segah, huzzam, nihavent, nikriz, and kurd.
I am looking on those couple of Turkish music websites for ideas but most of the things I am coming across seem a bit too complex for my technical level. Can any of you recommend some good simple things?
If so, please give the name of the composer(!!!) with the title of the pieces.
Thanks!
David
(Yes, I am still in Istanbul and can ask folks here, but i thought i'd put it out to ya'll as well...)

I believe it's run by Carmine Guida. I haven't looked closely at their sheet music, but it might be worth a try.

Tue, July 29, 2008 - 3:07 PMhi david, cool, glad you are working on oud again. did you post this question on the ouds forum at mike's ouds? the discussions there are usually quite informative and for the most part polite and succinct. if you havent been there go to:
www.mikeouds.com/
and go to the forums. ouds, ouds, ouds is i believe the name of the most general and comprehensive forum.
rumor has it you may be heading this way for a visit sometime...........? hope all is well in istanbul!
your bud, d
