Enjoy your videos very much. Thank you Murat.

Thank Yous for calling attention to the microtones and to the modulations...and to the center of the makam. In other words, you are giving a complete review of Rast with its peculiarities and points of linkage or integration in a taksim or in a piece.

Thank you so much for the lessons. It helped me a lot.

Thanks. I learn a lot! Wow!

Really great lesson! Thank you!

Murat. Just started learning Oud and I think you're lessons are the easiest free lessons I have found. I might eventually be interested in Skype lessons. I tune my Oud to what I think is a more common Arabic tuning DGADGC. So it takes a little more work but luckily I have a pretty good ear and I can follow along.

God Bless you :) Thanks a lot for your help!

Murat Keyder The Turkish oud is tuned in fourths, C-sharp, F-sharp, B, E, A, D.

Took lessons for a bit and after that just playing and listening...

Sweet, dude!

Love that oud

Hi I really like the way you play

Cok guzel

Great thanks, I plan to buy an Oud in near future, definetley have to come back

hi can u make a lesson or tutorial on how to play songs or show us thanx ur greatttttt

Hey great video man and you have some really good oud skills. I currently play an acoustic guitar and I want to start playing oud. can you tell me what type of oud I should buy,also where could I buy one? keep making awesome oud tutorials as u are one of the only person whos teaching in understandable english.Cheers from U.S.A

BEADGC is the standard Arab tuning. It's the same intervals as Turkish but everything is down a whole step. EABEAD, I think it's Armenian, I've come across it a couple times but never really used it. I think it's an older style. C#F#BEAD is pretty much exactly what I'm using except for the lowest string, which is common to retune depending on the tonic you're using anyway. I prefer having the lowest note be D so that it's the same as the high string that way...

and thanks=)

Do you have more lessons on other maqamat a well? I am especially interested in modulations that fit to a particular maqam and are typically used in taqsims.

Dear Murat, thanks a lot for the video، I'm playing Arabic oud and as you know the tuning is deferent from the Turkish one , now o started with Turkish oud , but I'm facing problem with Nahwand DO , could you please let me how possible to play it with the Turkish tuning?

Merhaba Mr. Murat. I would Like to add my gratitude for your oud lesson videos. They have helped me with my learning very much! I would like to take the step to live lessons. I have been playing for almost a year now. Do you do live lessons or know anyone doing live Turkish Oud lessons you would recommend? Many thanks either way!

I bought it in Istanbul, in Unkapani about 5-6 years ago, but I'm not sure who the maker was..

Standard Arabic tuning is CFAdgc', DGAdgc' or CGAdgc'. BE is very uncommon for the low strings. EABead' is Armenian or old-style Turkish.

Thank you so much for your lesson, it is great help. Could you please give us more lessons in different makams? You are the most informative teacher online!

Hey Murat, isn't that slightly flattened ascending C actually a slightly flattened C#? That's what I think I'm hearing, playing it like that aswel at the moment.

Is this a bit different(pitches)from the Arabic Rast? Tesekurler

Hi! How hard is to learn to play the oud?? is it necessary to learn guitarr?? where should i begin?? thanx
