Thank you Man❗️ i’m going to learn to play the Cithara one day, guitar is my main arm right now, but as I get deeper into my family lineage, the more it leads back here🏛 I’m uncovering my past🏺

It was very familiar to what Arab music is like now. The Arabs actually got it from the Greeks

Why don’t you explain the rhythm you’ve written on your board? I know - means long, and u means short, but what does x mean?

I cant understand what you’re saying on my phone speakers because your camera’s microphone is picking up a LOT more of the reverberation and room noise than your voice and each annunciation is adding too much sibilance to hear the words. Captions arent helpful for this same reason. Film in a different room or get a shirt clip mic and edit it in post processing
