I chose this song (even though it is over an hour long), because after our in-person concert on Tuesday, one of the instruments that was stressed the most was the Oud and the importance of this instrument in the Middle East and how it is similar to the guitar and to the lute. This tribute shows the wide range of sound the oud has, and how the different chords can be played. It also gives some nice close ups of the instrument so you can see what the chords look like, such as its pear shaped body and its double-chords. 

 

This is a tribute to Naseer Shamma who is a famous Iraqui musician/oud player.
