3.2 - Sultani Yakah Longa
Mr. Tareq discusses the fourth verse and the change in scale that occurs in this part of Sultani Yakah Longa
Tareq:
Now look at the fourth verse. First of all, in the fourth verse we have a change of scale towards ¾ time signature, as you can see, we will try to read . I also included the half position from the beginning ♭ Si with the second finger not with the third., so when we read it will be like tati tati ta tati tati ta ta fa tifi tati tati ta fa tifi tati ta, now repeat to go to seconda. tati tati ta tati tati ta ta fa tifi tati tati ta fa tifi tati ta, now we return to 2/4 to go to chorus. Let us try to read it with notes Re Sol Sol Si Si Sol Si Si Re Re Sol Fa Mi Re Do Si La Sol Do Si La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, and repeat Re Sol Sol Si Si Sol Si Si Re Re Sol Fa Mi Re Do Si La Sol to seconda, Do Si La Sol Fa La Sol, all in half position. Let us take a look *play* what I just did , I have Sol Fa Mi Re Do Si La Sol, I can play it in 2 different ways like I wrote for you, either Sol Fa Mi Re *play* which we learned, or Sol Fa and Mi with the fourth, Sol Fa *play* Mi Re *play* Do *play* Si *play* La *play* here I have Sol Fa ♭ Mi Re Do *play* I can check the Do against this cord *play* we can do *play* or *play* both options are valid and can be played. Then the Prima Do SI La Sol Fa Mi Re Do, I am still in half position with the fourth finger, Do Si La Sol *play* here I will go back to normal position to play # Fa with the fourth Fa Mi Re Do *play* like this # do. Now I have the fourth verse with the prima *play* now repeat *play*.
Let us look at the seconda *play* I played # Fa with the third finger. Now I will play the seconda separately Do Si La Sol Fa La Sol *play* like this Do fourth, ♭ Si second, La first, Sol, # Fa third, La, Sol. Now let us play the prima and seconda non stop *play*.
This concludes the fourth verse. I would like to focus on one point in flipping the pick, in the last bar of the first line in the fourth verse, Sol Fa Mi Re *play* Do Si *play* notice how I shifted between Do and ♭ Si *play* we will practice it *play* then *play* until we can play it.
This concludes Riyad Longa. I would like to stress a point in this course. When a piece takes 2 lessons to finish, it doesn’t mean that we can play it after 2 lessons. It needs a lot of work and practice to pick up speed in order to play it clearly and till my hands can get used to all the new movements and positions . I will record Riyad Longa from beginning to end for you to listen to and follow with the notes, but when you play it you should play it part by part.
