Cut in Half - Egyptian Oud with Maksum Beat

Here is an improvisation on my Egyptian Shehata Oud along with some hand drums. I started out with a maksum drum beat composed of a cajon, doumbek, udu and shaker. Maksum translates to "cut in half" and is a basic 4/4 style beat in Middle Eastern music. Once the drum beat was in place I improvised an oud riff over it and later a jaw harp track. My jaw harp is in the key of F so it complements my Arabic oud tuning perfectly.

Towards the end of the jam I added an electric guitar track on my home made partsocaster with a tricky delay on it that repeats each note 4 times. Thanks for listening and watching :-)
