Arabic taksim on classical fretless guitar Posted by: Nupharluteum
Video duration: 230 seconds I've defretted my guitar, which you have seen on my previous videos. I am happy with the sound and feel, but I still have to solve some problems, fingerboard paint wearing off being the most important one. For this taqsim I've chosen several maqamat - bayati, kurd and hijaz. I hope you like it.

Well, there are many lyrics and different versions of it, always about a girl. Someone sings to her (maybe the mother) with much love. But in the old text there is an insinuation that the girl is not "normal" (maybe crazy or retarded) I feel it very sad. What is the instument you are playing?
