Turkish Music For Guitar

fernando-perez

Forget scales. Replace your Western music theory with the knowledge of ancient Eastern makams.

Reinvent Your Repertoire

Forget scales. Replace your Western music theory with the knowledge of ancient Eastern makams. You’ll learn to hear, define, understand and appreciate microtonal music. Thus opening you up to an entirely new world of sound enabling you to perform powerful guitar concertos that you previously thought were impossible on a standard 6-string guitar.

“As cliche as this may sound, this course will actually open up your ears to new possibilities. By re-tuning your ears, your guitar and your mind into the Turkish makam system you’ll develop a heightened harmonic awareness and knowledge about how to transpose the traditional techniques of the oud on to your guitar.”   Edd Bateman (World Music Method founder).
