Hello GMC. Our lesson today is "Arabic Rock". As a middle eastern I want to demonstrate a little about our music genres. We have many kinds and styles like Arabic pop, franco Arabic, Arabic R&B, Reggae, Hip Hop, Arabic electronica, Arabic classic, Arabic jazz and Arabic rock genres.
Today I am focusing on Arabic rock genre. Our music is rich in scales and maqams in the same time we mix the scales in one compose. Usually in Arabic songs we use 1 or 2 to 3 and even 4 (maqams - scales) in one song.
In today's lesson I used E.Ajosha/E.harmonic minor as a basic scales in this lesson. If you remember my first lesson at GMC it was in E ajosha scale also.
We will see syncopation, upstrokes, down strokes, ascending, descending, grooves, picking and arpeggios in this lesson. You will also feel some Arabic percussions added as (darabuka, katem, dahol, saggat, rek and clap).
