- Learn how to modulate to and from Maqam Nawa Athar, Maqam Hijaz, Maqam Sikah, Maqam Kurd, Maqam Hijaz Kar, Maqam Jiharkah, and Maqam Ajam, using Jins Rast.
Check out the complete article here!

Some rules for modulation between maqams:
First maqam family:
Rast, Nahawand, Ajam, and Nikriz.
Second maqam family:
Saba, Hijaz, Kurd, and Bayati.
To modulate from one maqam to another, from the same family, you can modulate starting by the Karar (tonic/first note in the scale.)
Example:
You play, from Hijazkar based on C, the following: C Db E F E Db C.
You can immediately modulate to Kurd based on C, and play the following: C Db Eb F Eb Db C.
Some exceptions, and rules to modulate to maqams from the other family:
1. You can modulate from Rast's fifth note to Bayati (or a maqam from the same family as Bayati.)
2. You can modulate from Rast's sixth note to Saba.
3. You can modulate from Rast's third note to Sigah,
4. You can modulate from Ajam's fifth note to Hijaz.
5. You can modulate from Ajam's third note to Saba.
6. You can modulate from Nahawand's third note to Ajam.
7. You can modulate from Nahawand's fifth note to either Kurd or Bayati.
Note: I'm sure there are more rules for modulation, but those are the ones I know so far. Hope some of you find them helpful, and if there are any necessary corrections to be made, please let me know.
Good day.
Exxxcellent! Thank you! Much more like this needed. Where can more complete information of this order be found?
Les cours sont tres complets ,interessants,bien dirigés et Navid a l air d etre une bonne personne.
Chaque video est bien faite,les lecons sont claires ,accessibles suivant le niveau de chacun.
Et Navid est tres humble car il ne joue pas la Star ,alors que je pense depuis deux annees que je regarde ses videos,qu il est un tres bon musicien.
Salam
Amazing. This one short oud lesson really helped me understand taqsim. The idea of modulation is what I’ve been missing. Thank you.
What's that lovely tune at the beginning of the video called? It's so freaking good!
Very good primer.Thank you.
Very useful tips ! well done ! Thank you so much !
thanks for the useful info.
you look awesome with the glasses Navid
Could you possibly make a short video on trills and general oud techniques, like the firdash, vibrato and so on? Thank youuu
Wow amazing 👍
It would be awesome there if people actually modulated to and from various Arabic Maqamat, Turkish Makamlar, Persian Dastgah/Radif, Azerbaijani Mugam, Uighur Muqam and Indian Ragas in their musical Taqsim/Taksim/Taxim compositions (for example: from Arabic Maqam Hijaz to Turkish Makam Hijaz and back again).
Steven Villman You forgot Kurdish Kurdish music had uts unique mokams
I imagine that would be very exhausting for the listeners' ears. If I'm not mistaken, Arabic maqams divide a whole step into 4 intervals, whereas Turkish maqams divide it into 9. Persians do it some other way, probably. I believe Navid himself has a video in which he shows how his fingers have to move ever so slightly backwards and forwards, depending on whether he's playing a maqam in a Turkish style, Persian style of Arabic style.
Furthermore, in Arabic maqams (and maybe Turkish and Persian?) the smallest interval you can have between two notes is half a step. It's a common misconception that, in Arabic maqams, you can find a quarter interval. The truth is, you can add a quarter of a step to the front or back of a half step, to end up with an interval three quarters of a step long, producing half flats and half sharps.
Quarter intervals can be found in Indian music.
players do it depending on what music influences them, i have heard turkish techniques in Arabic taqaseem
amazing bro:)))
💜 Fine! 👍
Cant wait to get my ud
Taz Maniac nice, where are you getting yours? You'll get addicted to it.
Still looking , might get a used one for a good price. Dont trust ebay for a new one that much.. And also im not sure wich ud I should get to start with. Wich ud from what country would you reccomend? Also are you still planning on making more guides in the future? Id love to learn ALOT . Thanks for your videos man
Steve. Mukam Kurd is unique. Can you elaborate on that
I found a useful modulation that I haven't seen anywhere else (on quartertone electric guitar tuned from E all in fourths - a heavy metal context): Hijaz on E, to Bayati on F. The minor third span from F to G# can be seen as a minor third to be split in half. Check out the url: rfielding.github.io for a heavy metal quartertone maqam-like theory (with Javascript code for making microtonal fretboard diagrams, which you might find useful yourself). Heavy metal really seems to be a kind of pseudo-maqam that lost where it came from; apparently from Dick Dale surf music (imitating oud playing) eventually morphing into heavy metal.
Navid, What a wonderful body of knowledge you are sharing with the world! I started playing guitar in my childhood, recently back into it and I find myself been getting more into the Oud. Your channel is exactly what I have been searching for. Is there a notation system for Oud? Looking forward to learning more.
Western notation is the standard. Solfege note names are used. Recently I found out that sometimes pieces are notated by using note names of only. But western notation is the most widely used. Watch out for the accidentals used to notate microtones.
@@OudforGuitarists Thank you very much! Looking forward to learning the Oud... do you have a recommendation for purchasing an Oud for USA residents?
@@Gichanasa mauriceoudshop.com for sure.
Do you mind telling me what tuning you use and how its tuned? Im planning to buy am Oud, and I saw a video of a standard Arabic tuning, and it was exactly the same as C-standard on a guitar. As a metal guitarist, Im very used to this, as I tune to Drop Bb/C standard all the time
Low to high it's CFADgc. CGADgc is also another good tuning. Tune by ear. Use a digital tuner to tune your high G course, then tune the other strings to G using relative pitch. It's a challenge at first but that's the correct way.
Navid, I love your videos! Thanks for uploading them. By any chance, would you know the name of the song you have on the introduction, at the very beginning?
Haitham El-Sayed this is my own composition just for this UA-cam channel. I wrote and recorded it myself. I'm glad you like it.
OudforGuitarists it's beautiful! You're very talented. You got me into the oud and your videos have been very helpful for a beginner! Thanks!
please can any one tell me who is giving real knowledge who says no nowledge here i cant find online please... i need
Hey Navid. May I ask what turning are you using for this? I was watching other videos and a guy was playing Taqsim on B F# B E A D tuning. According to an app I’m using, this is Turkish tuning. Can I tune my oud to this tuning even if I have Arabic tuning strings?
You might damage your oud if you tune to Turkish tuning with Arabic strings. I use CFADgc in this video. What you can do is rip the audio from youtube, and then open the file in a program like the amazing slow downer and change the pitch to your Ouds tuning.
OudforGuitarists thanks for replying. Okay understood. So you have the oud you’re using in this video tuned to regular Arabic tuning ? According to my app, you are. May I ask what type of strings you Are using? I’m using La Bella Arabic tuning strings and I feel like the tension is super light. I want something maybe slightly heavier or heavier than these. I bought myself one of the cheaper ouds by Zeryab that are all over the net now but can it be the oud itself? Or the strings? I feel like I get a lot of string to string buzz. I ordered some pyramid strings and also some aurora strings. I feel I would prefer a steel coated d string Instead of it being nylon...it’s the set that buzzes most
"oud for guitarists" what a nice title , this is just what I was looking for ,thank you so much , though I heard that there are some micro tonal concepts that cannot be applied on guitar but only on oud , because it is fretless , could explain that a bit ?
thank you
Navid, I love most of your videos, and so does my uncle who has been playing oud for over 40 years (I found out about you through him.) However, I must say that this video was not terribly informative. I hope you don't mind my sharing some modulation rules here, and I would appreciate any corrections you might have for me. :)
Majed Al Shamsi please do by all means. If you can upload a video demonstrating with the Oudand sharing it here that would be even better.
Thank you for your reply. As it happens, I'm not as brilliant a oud player as yourself, so I wouldn't do a demonstration any justice. Arabic and Eastern music theory is what interests me, and I'm currently the student of a Lebanese professor of musicology, at the American University of Sharjah. He has taught me some of the rules of modulation, and is in fact currently working on a book related to Arabic music theory. I have left my notes in another comment here. Hopefully, it would be enough for people to get started. Keep up the good work! :)
can you explain in arabic please
hasan sahily I don't believe he speaks Arabic. Otherwise, he would've made Arabic versions of each lesson a long time ago.
the veritable artiste teach people and not show off
Truer words were never spoken. Navid only delivers pure, clear facts about this remarkable musical system, vivifying his exposition with a brief and representative demonstration. He has both the mastery and the modesty of an elderly player. I admire him very much, even with glasses.
