Check my new arabic acoustic recording:
This a song i made using arab, harmonic and phrygian dominant scales. also combining different techniques i know. its not really complex, i improvise in some parts. This a really fun song for me to play
Hope you like it.
Guitar is tuned: DADGBD a half tep down
Edit:
New info..
Well i have gotten many request for a tab and explanation of what did the song include. Im terrible for making tabs and dont have the time for it. As for how to get playing this style:
The style is focused on always using a constant note as the background ringing, also known as the drone note. In this case its D, it can be any. With the the note always ringing you play using the phrygian mode and the harmonic minor scale, which i think its called phrygian dominant scale, on a Normal tuned guitar it will look like this.
This is on E (it cant be moved anywhere on the fretboard)
e- 0 -1 4-5 …
b- 0-1-3
g–1-2
d- -0-2-3
a- 0-2-3
E- 0-1-4
Lastly i dont know anything o arabic stuff or indian in music. The idea and influence of this piece i got it from a song called home by dreamtheater, check it out if you want to get a feeling with the style
