Mr. Tareq teaches us Noa Athar Sama’ee by Jameel Oweis. In this lesson you will learn the Noa Athar scale, and the instructor talks about the importance of reading the note before playing the track on the Oud. A very important subject in playing the Oud which is how to play ascending and descending sentences, and the feeling .accompanying those sentences and bars __ Hello my name is Tareq Al Jundi from i3zif.com . and today in lesson #18 we will play Sama'ee which is Sama'ee Noa Athar, by an Egyptian composer called Jameel Oweis. Noa Athar scale starts with Do like Nahawand scale Re, ♭ Mi, but Fa #, Sol, ♭ La, ♮ Si, Do, and again ♮ Si, ♭ La, Sol, Fa #, ♭ Mi, Re .. look at the first verse, you will notice those 2 small notes, the accacciatura (An extra, very fast grace note). Those notes, same process, will steal time from the Sol which has a time=2, first time we read it, we will read the verse without this accacciatura, which I will talk about . I want to read the first bar sol Mi Fa Sol Mi Fa Sol La Fa La Sol Mi Fa Sol La Si this is Ta Fa TiFi Ta. Continue the second bar Si La Sol Fa Fa Mi Mi Re Re . let us play it without the accacciatura *Play music* now I will play with the accacciatura, it is Sol, he wants me to do Mi Fa Sol*Play music*, I will play *Play music*Mi and Fa with a pick*Play music*, and pulse the Sol *Play music*, like this *Play music* Mi Fa Sol *Play music* we will practice it slowly with one pick *Play music* then *Play music* next bar, from the pick up of bar #2, Si do Re Mi Fa Sol La Sol La Sol Fa Sol Fa Mi Re do. From pick up of the second bar *Play music* and the last bar is , the closing phrase of the first verse Sol La Si Do Re Mi Fa Sol Mi Re Re Do Do Si Do. Any new track we play, it is very important to start by reading it. Why read it, why am I trying to read? Because once I understand the issue of reading, I will focus on the issue of right hand, left hand and techniques. But if I want to solve all the issues at the same time, results will be delayed. So we take each issue separately, first we start by reading. Now look at the first bar Sol ♭ La, ♮ Si, Do Re Mi Fa Sol *Play music* this is the same position in Nahawand Longa *Play music* then Mi Re Re Do Do Si Do *Play music* so the last bar is *Play music*, now repeat the first part, first verse *Play music*I want to say a few things about phrasing, how a phrase is composed. Notice how we are ascending in a scale, there has to be higher sound, and while descending, sound must be lower. For example the last bar *Play music*, notice how the phrase ends here, but if we close like this *Play music* it appears like there is still a remaining. Which is why sometimes we must try to sing the phrase, to know where it ends and where it starts. This is the first verse, go to the chorus , Do Rest *Play music* again repeat the chorus, I played it so we can know what it sounds like, now we will read it Ta Rest Tati Tati Ta Rest Tati Tati Tati Ta , now I will read it with notes Do Rest Si Do Re do Si Rest Dol La Sol Fa Mi Re Do Si Rest La Si Do Si La Rest Sol La Sol Fa Mi Fa Sol I will play the first 2 bars *Play music* the next bar Tati Tati Tati Ta Fi Tati Tati Ta Fi Tati Tati Ta Ta Tati Tati Ta Fi Tati Tati Tati Ta , which is Do Re Mi Fa sol La Si La Sol La Sol Fa Sol Fa Mi Fa Mi Re Do Do Si La sol Fa Mi Re Do Mi Re Do Si Re Do Rest, the chorus from the beginning 3 4 *Play music*I can start the chorus with Nahawand Do cord *Play music* I can hit the Sol with Si *Play music*this concludes the first verse and chorus from Sama'ee Noa Athar by Jameel Oweis.
