Playing around with a tzouras

[themodestokid]

A Greek friend loaned me his tzouras -- it is the first round-backed lute I've ever played, I'm having fun with it. Check out some jams I recorded this weekend, while it was snowing out -- my friend says those are some strange sounds to be getting out of a bouzouki...

After the gold rush

That's cool that you like the mini-bouzouki! One hint - you're holding it in the "Clapton" video the way most guys want to - but it's not the easiest way. Check out how guys hold that bowl in this:

Believe me it's easier!

Thanks David, my friend told me the way I'm holding it is old-fashioned :)... I've been meaning to try the other way.
