__
Welcome, I am Rida Bdeer, the Egyptian Nay player from i3zif.com. Today we will start lesson #3, which is generating the sound with the right hand, using the last 3 holes in the Nay. We will block the above holes, all 3 holes and the back hole are blocked. Let us start *Play music*. note the order of fingers, I always focus on this point. 1,2,3.. 1,2,3. Now descending: 1,2,3..1,2,3.. ascending 1,2,3..1,2,3.. descending 1,2,3.. 1,2,3.. okay, it will be as follows *Play music*. you must prepare your lungs by taking a deep breath, and be upright, because the Nay is long *Play music*. the third lesson has another sound, that you might encounter while playing. Don’t be startled, like this *Play music*. it is the same except for the breath force, that one has a higher breath force, the first one has a lower breath force which is why the sound is lower, like a base, so do not be startled or upset. *Play music*, this is also nice. Any sound you generate is good, and with practice you can decide which sound you need and make it happen. *Play music*. make sure that you practice with all the holes blocked to get the right pitch. And take a deep breath, inhale and exhale in order to be comfortable while playing. *Play music*. always when you practice in order to strengthen your breath, when you start you should start with blocking all the holes and playing sounds like this *Play music* keep a strong breath an take control of your fingers, make sure no air is leaking, and the generated sound is in this form. Later on if we would like to play a different variation for example , assume the finger does this *Play music* this is the third lesson, which is a continuation of the second lesson. We will continue the 4th lesson in the next class, see you.
