Thank you for the reupload. After one year I still feel weird with tremolo bursts.
thanks friend, have patience it takes some time and dedicated practice. i should have mentioned (or will in a future video) the importance of keeping calm phsically and in breath. stress, tension or overuse of force in different parts of the body are very common during playing, especially fast/complicated parts.
@@YanivMasel I appreciate your comments very much Sir. That is so true, I always end up trying to play a little too hard and I feel tense!

What do you think about unmetered tremolos during metered pieces? Do you use them and if so, in what cases?
Good question, I don't believe in unmetered tremolo, there is no such thing really, I believe unmetered tremolo on a metered piece is either in rhythm or not, whether you are consciously aware of it or not. If it sounds good then it probably conforms to some rhythmic subdivision (4, 6, 8, 12, 16) if it sounds bad then it doesn't. Just like percussion.
The same goes for pitch, you either hit the note you intend or not, to someone not accustomed to micro tonality it might all sound good/bad but if you know you know
What is the thickness of your Risha for good tremolo, and where would you suggest buying it? Thank you!
Hey Bill, I like thin but quite wide rishas (as opposed to the turkish mizraps which are usually thick and narrow), I can't recommend where to buy one sorry because the best ones I've had were hand made for me by other people. I don't know if you have other oud players in your area to consult but f you have access to a belt sanding machine you can experiment with making your own
Thanks for this and many other videos, Yaniv! Your profound approach to playing oud is ivery impressive! I'm only starting this way
Could I ask you about your right arm- elbow and upper part of arm. Is it floating constantly in the air? Or it stays in contact with oud for support in some points?
Once again thank you for your art!
hi i missed your question sorry... always feel free to contact me by mail or instagram/facebook etc..
as to your question:
the right must be in contact with the oud otherwise it will fall. you must be able to comfortably hold the oud and use the risha with no support from the left hand. the oud is held and supported by three points for stability:
1. the thigh of the right leg
2. the right side of your stomach up to your chest near the armpit
3. the right arm. the point of contact is the forearm (the middle part of the arm), it rests on the frame of the oud, more or less on the imaginary continuation of where the bass C string would meet the frame (and not from higher above as in guitar)
make sure you slightly bend your right wrist so the risha has enough room to move. it shold touch the strings in the area between the two small soundholes
let me know if that helped, good luck!
@@YanivMasel thanks a lot for such a great explanation! 🙏🏻
