Learn Turkish Oud - Part 1 by Baha Yetkin

As everyone knows, everything is moving to the digital environment with the changing world. Instruments and music that only local people know and played for centuries can be listened to and learned in every corner of the world thanks to the internet and online platforms. Thanks to the internet, the OUD instrument, which has been included in the concerts and albums of many musicians and artists recently, is becoming more and more popular in the world.

I have been teaching the oud since 2003. I have had more than 1000 students so far. I prepared a method book to make more people love and teach the oud.

I wanted to share the videos of the exercises and explanations of this method with you through this platform. If you want to start or continue this journey with me, this course perfectly fits you. With this course, you will see how easy it is to learn an instrument with simple exercises.

Even just half an hour a day will allow you to learn this lovely instrument. In this course, you will learn how to hold our oud and plectrum(mizrap/risha), basic notes in main positions, and basic plectrum(mizrap/risha) techniques, and improve yourself with technical exercises. Also, you will apply the technique that you learn to some masterpieces from Ottoman/Turkish music.
