Thank you so much for taking the time to teach this. It's been so hard to find comprehensive instruction on traditional Middle Eastern scales! I write rock music, and usually people are like, "Just use the Phrygian Dominant scale," but the use of that scale really limits a guitarist with what they can do. I am really focusing on these traditional scales to incorporate them into my songwriting to create a very unique sound. Thank you again!

My love for that scale and its modes is what led me here! It's exciting to be able to identify similarities/differences in the music of various cultures, as a non-music major. I always wondered why I liked classical music with Hungarian, Jewish, or Spanish elements. Turns out the Hungarian minor scale is derived from the double harmonic major scale, and the others use variations of the phrygian dominant scale with flattened second scale degrees. Harmonic intervals are my favorite, and it always disappointed me that they're not emphasized more in western music. Most research always took me to modal jazz :( I'm thankful to be able to learn about the maqam scales here in such an easy to learn format, as an English speaker!

When I talk to oud players, they often refer to a note using the do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do system. Does "do" change depending on what key you are in, or is it always the C note? Also, do you use this system when teaching the oud?
@OudforGuitarists
@OudforGuitarists 3 жыл бұрын
I use both systems depending on what my student is accustomed to. This is called the solfege system. "Do" doesn't change often for Arabic and Persian players. Do is Do and corresponds to Western C. The exception is when the Oud is tuned down... then "do" might sound as low as B flat or B natural. So "do" refers to a position on the fingerboard. For Turkish musicians however, "do" can change pitch a lot. Turkish notation style and convention is a whole other can of worms. It took me a long time to get used to it. The main benefit of the Turkish approach is that everyone is comfortable transposing on the spot if they have to play in a different key to accommodate an instrument or singer. However, string instruments might change the tuning of the open strings or only the bass strings to enable the optimal fingerings. Notation is more straightforward in that you can write one piece in a certain maqam and that can be used for all instruments regardless of key. For example, you will always see maqam Hijaz written with the same key signature and scale in Turkish pieces. And this applies to all maqams.

In each maqam there is a lower jin and upper jin. The lower jin generally stays the same, but the upper jin (most often starting a 4th or 5th above the "tonic") can change. So in a performance of maqam rast, you might find the scales: C D E- F G A B- c C D E- F G Ab B c C D E- F G Ab BB c etc... In essence, yes you can change between maqam (or sub-maqam), but there are certain pathways you have to follow. On the classical/orchestral side there are compositions with some pretty complex "modulations." On the modern/pop side, not so much.

I'm not sure actually. There is a decent guide book on Turkish makam that I use, but it has some peculiarities. It's called Turkish Music Makam Guide by Murat Aydemir. I recommend learning it and playing it in practice, and just trying to copy what others are doing melodically. My musical education was completely devoid of theory when I studied Persian music from a young age, and I learned the tradition completely fine. Theory was unnecessary. "Inside Arabic Music" is a good book that will acquaint you with Arabic music, but some of the maqam ideas presented in the book are novel and I think they take the concept of jins/ajnas a bit too far to a point that I don't agree with some parts.

OudforGuitarists I am in the U.K. I have ordered a pyramid set to see what’s it like. I know Aquila well as I use them for lute strings( nylgut) and nylon loaded red strings. The Arabic oud set has a loaded third course. It is kind in the heavy side. Thank you very much I am really enjoying your videos!

i have a question - why did you say the jins bayati must start on D? Is it given a different name if you transpose the whole thing to start on C? (so it would be C, D half flat, E flat, F)
@OudforGuitarists
@OudforGuitarists 3 жыл бұрын
If jins Rast starts on C in "standard" tuning, you can derive jins bayati on the second degree which can be no other note than D. That might be what I meant. 80 percent of the time bayati is played on the 3rd course D. But yes, everything is transposable. Absolute pitch is fairly irrelevant in middle Eastern music. However, open strings are significant on stringed instruments and bayati usually starts on an open string.

@OudforGuitarists
@OudforGuitarists 4 жыл бұрын
You never make chords, this music is melodic, not harmonic. The only chords that occur support and reiterate the tonal center of the mode, such as 1st degree, 4th degree, sometimes 3rd degree, and usually 5th.

One doubt brother, As in Indian music we have 10 Modes (Called as 'Thaat' in Hindustani Music) like 7 Modes of Western Music. So, Maqamat Arabic Music Modes? And Ajnas are derived scales from Maqamat like Major Pentatonic derived from Major scale? So, actually what is the difference between Maqamat and Ajnas?😊
@OudforGuitarists
@OudforGuitarists Жыл бұрын
In a nutshell, maqamat is what happens when the ajnas interact with each other. Ajnas are just a way of looking at the parts that build a maqam. Maqam and mode can be interchangeable terms sometimes.

I'm Arab bro, and altough i'm surrounded by oud player, nobody taught me. I just buy it and learn it completely from internet, going to mikeoud.com (highly recommended for oud lover) for resources, train my ear by tuning without tuner, a LOT exercises, practice with song etc, until i can just play a song just by listen to it. It's been 8 months and this saturday night is my first real performance with audience. Now i bought and learn guitar, it's a lot harder.

So it's not just notes and scales. It's also the patterns and which notes you make important. Cause I never heard anyone play like this in a major scale in Western music, not even by accident. Never thought the regular major scale was part of typical Arabic music.

I have three questions: - when you add ajnaas to the first jins, the tone interval between the last note and the new one is always a fixed amount?; - how many new ajnaas can you add in new tones (4 notes + 4 notes in a new tone + ...); - in a maqam can you put different ajnaas (I mean, a sabaa + a bayatii + a second sabba + a nahawand. and so on..) or in a maqam the ajnaas are always from the same family? Thanks for your videos, are really helpful.
@OudforGuitarists
@OudforGuitarists 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your questions. 1. usually the 4th note is the starting point of another jins, or a whole tone above the 4th note of the first jins. 2. I don't think there is a limit, but most instruments don't have more than 3 octaves. But it has to be done in a way that makes sense in the tradition. It's like a language, I can't string a bunch of grammatical structures together and expect it to make sense or be understood. 3. A family of maqams are generally grouped together because the first jins is the same. Some ajnas don't combine with in the same way as others do. My suggestion for you at this point of your understanding is to listen to source material and compile examples for yourself so you can try to copy the source material.

I guess I can say whatever I want, but yes I got in trouble for this from a very passionate religious Jew! He was not impressed with my comparison. I told him, "I'm not even Jewish, why are you telling me this?". It's a byproduct of growing up in hollywood blockbuster culture. These types of modes are always used in devilish scenes, or evil scenes. It's impossible not to make associations. Just watch Disney's Fantasia (the old one), and you'll see what I mean. But for the record, there is nothing demonic about Hijaz. But who knows... it depends on who you talk to ;)
