RIALAS Bouzouki Lesson 004 Sinefiasmeni kiriaki
This lesson is a special request for my friend George "greektrucker". For the backing, I have played mainly real instruments, ie. real bass, baglama, tsoura, guitars, piano, ect. This makes it sound more authentic as opposed to sampler instruments. I would have liked to have used my trixordo on this song, but it needs a service, however on the taximi you will notice that I tuned my Varla F string down to a D which gives the effect of a trixordo. The first time I ever played in public was when I was a very very young boy, at Tsitanis' concert when he came to London at Alexandra palace in the 70s. I played two songs, one was 'pame tsarka' and the other was quite likely sinefiasmeni kuriaki, as these were amongst the first songs I learnt. I have the photos but what I would give to find a copy of the video. Some of the phrasing is not so easy but take what you can and eventually with other lessons, it should all come together. Thanks.
