Threat - A Taqsim (Improvisation) on the Oud

[@yep999]

Its like a spiritual call to arms...but in a benevolent way... So engaging the world is blessed to have people like you.

[@Pleasedunkmeintheoceanagain]

A spiritual call to arms:) lovely description.

[@FilipHolm]

I like that description as well!

@@FilipHolm Brother If Imay ask, when did you learn to play the Oud and how long have you been playing? I am asking because I am 23 and I havemt had the chance to learn this instrument and now that I can get a bit of money I was wondering if it would be possible for an adult like me to learn such a difficult yet wonderful instrument.

[@FilipHolm]

@@godkingarus8180 I started playing it when I was 18, having already played the guitar for about five years at that point. So I've been playing it for basically 10 years now. It is definitely possible to start learning as an adult. I haven't had as much time to dedicate to it as I would have liked, but it is a wonderful learning experience nonetheless.

[@godkingarus8180]

@@FilipHolm Ahhh I should have guessed by the way you played with ease that you had quite some experience. Thank you for your answer! And btw, more than experience, I noticed that you have a particular affinity for the timing and the rythm upon which you improvise your piece. Wonderful playing from your part!

[@aysenur6761]

Man, in the second half it looks like you're experiencing some kind of ecstacy! After the last video on sufi music, I see you practice what you preached:')

[@hamiltonsarain9608]

He's showing us the difference between a 'maqam' and a 'hal'. 😁

[@josecipriano3048]

Magical. There's something so deep about the oud. I'm very fortunate to have discovered your other channel, and now this... I can't thank you enough.

[@aminrodriguez4707]

Fascinating and beautiful.

Fantastic ❤️ the Oud is a very special instrument. Love it

[@FilipHolm]

Indeed it is!

[@jojones4685]

It sounds beautiful

[@FilipHolm]

Thank you!

[@hhht7672]

love the sound of the new rosewood oud!

[@FilipHolm]

I'm glad it translates well to recording! It sounds amazing live.

[@100monotheist-fkeroffalseg8]

Excellent string instrument, it pulled the strings of my heart...extremely magnetic music and sound.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

Ah, he can play, yes he can! Very nicely done, Filip.

Music of The Soul. Keep on going, good brother! Amazing 👏🏼

Wow… I hope you end up doing a mashup video so I can listen to you for hours. So beautiful. Subscribed!

It is a lovely instrument!

Filip you are so talented, beautiful person. Much love and blessings 🙏

I have no words to say something about you but only one thing I can say you’re the sweetest person on the planet 🌎

[@FilipHolm]

I am most definitely not that, but thank you for saying nice things :)

[@kassimtufail9061]

@@FilipHolm thanks I just like you as a person

[@mikeharrison1868]

This was lovely, and the ecstacy was lovely. But music is special, and all kinds of music acan allow people to experience ecstacy. Jimi Hendrix playing All Along the Watchtower is also ecstatic IMHO ;0) Thanks ever so much RfB.

[@FilipHolm]

I agree!

[@Jazzgriot]

Allahu Akbar akhi. Hajeeb!

[@hudaali8663]

Wow! You did an amazing job there I am not a huge fan of oud .. but you gave so much emotion to that piece .. it was like a journey .

[@PLCSadra]

The sound of the 'oud' align with the fragrance of the ouds.

May it be mere threat May it be false alarm May it be only love Thank you Filip 🌸🌹

[@wael4070]

I have an uncle who has playing oud and Kanun as hobby, it always impress me because it looks very difficult instruments to master + I have zero musical knowledge or skills. Well done Filip

[@FilipHolm]

I love the Qanun, too. Wish I knew how to play it!

[@wael4070]

@@FilipHolm may God bless those musicians gifted with those magical fingertips. I mean how do they do can an instrument with crazy number of strings! You play oud which from what I heard westerners musicians aren't very familiar with, that's a skill itself. Love your uploads on your both channels

[@kevinmo8811]

It hits deep. Love it

[@into_the_void]

I always wondered where the background sound for your vids come from.. now i know 👁️👽

[@100monotheist-fkeroffalseg8]

Can you also play Duduk too? I love wind and string instruments when combined...drums not no much :)

[@grndragon7777777]

[@deepquake9]

Thank you! Very beautiful

[@cowmustard7848]

Awesome stuff! Love your videos and your music :D

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

I certainly feel threatened by your skill and talent so the taqsim is aptly named

[@OmerosDeadmachine]

Sounds great man

[@aminrodriguez4707]

Also, maybe the mike away from the left hand as the trebling over the frets makes a "disturbing?" Sound, maybe it is part of the music itself, so I am being cautious, but it surely threw me off.

[@FilipHolm]

Are you referring to the sound of the fingers moving across the neck?

[@Abd-kb7tr]

@@FilipHolm I think he means the slight squeal type noise that's made when you're doing vibrato on the wound strings, I personally like that noise, but if you wanna get rid of that noise you can do what classical guitarists do and lick your left hand fingers slightly or put some light moisturiser on them

How can I buy/get your oud music?

[@QuranKareem563]

Interesting, you play so well. I know you from your other channel! Why not use this music as background for other videos?

[@FilipHolm]

I do 🙂

[@martinomasolo8833]

Nice! Is that sitar-style glissando usual in oud playing or an add of yours?

[@FilipHolm]

It's pretty common! I do use it a lot in this one though.

[@mikec6733]

Is this the type of music that Ali Akbar Khan used to play? Sounds very similar to me.

[@linaalqassab8049]

Wow you're good!

[@mr.h7009]

You handled the Maqamat very well my friend . Hijaz And Hijaz Kar Kurd ,Nahawand are great mixture there❤️ As a Sunni and an oud player ,Everytime I play oud I let the little Sufi inside me speaks...

[@sultanabdulhaqiii1633]

Typo in the title, but it's a great performance

[@FilipHolm]

Thanks! Fixed it!

[@100monotheist-fkeroffalseg8]

Do you have any spotify account for oud?

[@FilipHolm]

My music is on Spotify, both under my own name: open.spotify.com/artist/2O7FLjTvLWdWHDBgog9MPG?si=lYj22OXWTraNPBXEpkygAg& (It's not Oud only but there is an Oud album there) ...
