Turkish oud lesson: Huseyni/Bayati, most common middle eastern scale

This is a lesson on the scale used in the Huseyni and Bayati makams. This is one of the most common scales in middle eastern music.

I really appreciate these lessons. Your videos about playing middle eastern scales on the guitar is part of the reason why I bought an oud.

Thanks for these videos. Regarding notes that are different "ascending" and "descending". Of course, one isn't necessarily going to play a full sequence of notes in a phrase. If it's just the variable note and, say, one other, do we count "ascending/descending" as ascending/descending FROM the variable note or ascending/descending TO it?

It’s really about the overall flow of the melody. The sharper version pushes the melody up towards the octave and the flat version pushes it down towards the fifth. The sixth itself isn’t really a resting note so it wouldn’t be up or down to it. You also never have the two different versions of the sixth right next to each other.

@@MuratKMusic Thank you very much - that's helpful and makes sense.
