Hal Leonard Oud Method (Instructional) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very bad book. It pretends to teach music theory, oriental rythms, oud playing (and even some other things) in 30 pages. The result is too little about too much. Central topics as fourth tones are avoided.
If someone has already invested in getting and oud, and really wants to get an idea about oud playing, this book is just a waste of time.
All the basic music theory (not-specific to oud) is available elsewhere on the web, and all the things specific to oud are less that what you can learn in a couple of private lessons.
Highly unrecommendable.
