Spanish Laúd - Payam Shahidi (Original Composition)

[@Fernwald84]

Very distinctive sound, something like an octave mandolin but more penetrating. Excellent for this style of music and nicely played.

[@payamshahidi]

Thanks so much!! Yeah it definitely has a unique sound, both deep and bright. Fun to improvise!

[@polygraphovich]

Very cool.

[@payamshahidi]

Thank you! 🙌🏻

[@Zeagods-CyberShadow]

Ive never known much about the Láud but this is so beautiful and im more intrigued to learn more about it since i only know Oud and European lute

[@payamshahidi]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it!

Hi... Beautiful playing! Which string would you recommend purchasing for this instrument?
And what tunning are you using?

[@payamshahidi]

Thank you so much! 🙌🏻
I use the ML450 laud set La Bella
Tuning I change frequently, this video was G# C# F# B E A

[@markfilippone3845]

What tuning are you using Brother?

[@RavnerRavner]

Remember when Dethklok used grampa guitars to defeat the troll?

[@bern543]

[@susacobo7600]

Klasse! 👍🏻

[@j.a.1378]

Cómo tiene afinado el laúd, podría, por favor, poner las notas. Gracias.

[@demetriosarcolakis4821]

Awesome sound and play. What is the tuning of it?

[@payamshahidi]

Thanks!! From top to bottom: G# C# F# B E A

[@demetriosarcolakis4821]

@@payamshahidi that sounds like a very strange tuning

[@Marcanym]

Great sound love it! I tune mine in gdaebf#

[@payamshahidi]

@@Marcanym Awesome thank you! I’ll have to try that tuning!

[@fullbeardedroots]

You make the Spanish lute sing sir! Do you use tab?

[@payamshahidi]

Thank you!! Yes I write them out sometimes, for this video I was just improvising though

[@fullbeardedroots]

@@payamshahidi thank you for replying! I am also a newbie laud player. Although I am really struggling to find new tabs for modern songs. I want to learn to play Disney songs - but I am struggling to find any. Any advice would be appreciated brother.
May your lute remained tuned.
Cheers.
Bobby

[@payamshahidi]

@@fullbeardedroots Awesome! Maybe try searching for sheet music or normal guitar tabs (not specifically laud). Then you can tune your laud to something like this, and play the same positions as a guitar tab. Good luck!
G# C# F# B D# G# top to bottom (4 notes higher than a guitar, E A D G B E)

[@punarvasudosha]

Great Moorish style!

[@payamshahidi]
