Do you want to play chords on baglama? It is fortunately fairly straight forward, as seen here. I use baglama düzeni tuning and a long-neck baglama in A (La)
Thank you for these lessons, I own a longneck saz for months now, and only after watching your videos, I was able to get some basic understanding. Keep on great work!
You've just earned yourself a subscriber! I recently bought a Saz and it took forever to come to Australia, but it has been so hard to find good tutorials in English. Thank you for the videos! You should cover some Altin Gun songs like "Kolbasti" and "Yaniyorum" as I'd love to learn them.
@@LiamsGotThis No. Maybe sometime in the future. Here is a video in Turkish. The baglama is tuned from C. So you need a capo on the 3rd fret, if your baglama is tuned in A czcams.com/video/N9SnbaxCIx0/video.html
Selām, Klaus. As I just let my instrument be set up for use, I've been curious to see whether or not there are now good videos on chords available online. Yours will probably help. I took lessons for a year when I lived in the south, moved house, again - and felt kind of lost without this particular knowledge. You'd do many a favour, as I assume, if you some time provide examples of how to easily play with this means straight to your heart going ilāhis like "Bir Dost Yeter Bana" or "Dervişlik Ne Güzel". There's nothing which makes you so thoroughly forget everything about you as playing beautiful music!
Nice videos, rare to find them in English, I do a few on my channel for baglama as well in English, but I am mostly self taught so a different approach in tutorials. What part of Germany are you in, I am from US but also living here in Deutschland.
great video, thank you. i have a long-neck baglama, and want to buy a capo. do you have any recommendation? guitar capo, or ukulele capo, or something else? just want to make sure the size is correct. there are so many options on amazon...
Thanks. I use a capo for acoustic or classical guitar, mainly because the neck is thicker and therefore more similar to saz, than on typical electric guitars.
Great video. I want to buy a baglama saz but before I do could you tell me if the action is high and the pressure required to fret notes correspondingly high. My fingers are quite arthritic from years of guitar playing so I don't want to waste my money.
Thanks. The string action is quite low, so not much force are needed. I find it easier to press down than on guitar, but I have also not had these issues.
There are many types of baglama, with different lenghts of the neck. You can see a description here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba%C4%9Flama If you have the one with the long neck, then you can simply place a capo, so it corresponds to the ones with the shorter neck. I use Baglama Duzeni tuning for both. salamuzik.com/blogs/news/difference-between-short-neck-and-long-neck-baglama-saz
But why A G D ? I would tune it in modal (D A D - C G C - F C F) Or quinte (C G D - F C G - G D A) or like a bass in quarte ( E A D ). Shamisen and shantze do the same. But the things is " what is the interest of A G D ???
You can see the video on tuning and hijaz scale for the long neck baglama. I use baglama duzeni tuning, so it is A G D (from top string and down). There are different lengths of short baglama, but you can e.g. tune 3 half tones up, so you play from C. That would be C Bb F . Even shorter baglamas are often tuned from D. Tuning from B is also much used, so it depends on the musician.
@Erik Seymour Yes, G D A is the Kara (Black) tuning and is very common for long neck baglama. I have only had lessons on the baglama duzeni tuning (Arif Sag style), which is very common for especially intermediate lengths. I do not often use A G D on short neck baglama, because then the string tension will be very loose. Here, tuning from typically B, C or D are used. The reason why many of my videos are with baglama duzeni tuning from A is that here La corresponds to A etc. If I were playing from e.g. C, then La would be a C, which is very confusing for beginners and I do not want to go too much into this (relative/moveable solfege).
Yes. I have learned it like this with LA SI DO RE.. (in Turkey they start from La). I think it is good to sing the melody in solfege. The reason I did not include it is that I feared that people would be more confused, if they are not used to do it, but it is of course a good way of learning, to sing the melody in solfege.
@@KlausM In my country Romania is only with do-re-mi...and in Greece also! I began 2 years ago to study piano with this solfege, truly I CANNOT learn (at 65 years) other solfege with letters! A great greek musiicien told me that baglamas has only strings for : re-la-la! I try to learn with a teacher and his mandolin band in my town.. In Romania is not baglamas teacher. EVen the instrument I buy from Athens, very easy! in an half of month/ this december ! Sent money and receive by classical post. Even I was in august in Athens.
@@danaantoanetabalanescu2483 Yes, in Greece they have different types of baglamas that typically are smaller and tuned differently. Good luck with your music studies.

Thank you so much :) I was looking for a quick overview on saz chords for a while. That is a great help. You made me very, very happy!

Great thanks. I did play kolbasti long time ago. I like Altin Gün also.
@@KlausM Nice! Do you have a video for it?

Very nice indeed! I will try that on my baglama. Please make more, this instrument and English internet deserves that xDD
tesekurler kardesim...
well done i hope you do more
Very nice. I hope there is more to come.
Thanks. I will make more, but they take some time to make properly:)

I have seen some of you videos. Very nice.
I am from Northern Germany (meaning Denmark/Copenhagen!!!!)
Thanks you are good teacher
Glad that you like the video:)

What’s difference between short and longkneck?
There are many types of baglama, with different lenghts of the neck. You can see a description here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba%C4%9Flama
If you have the one with the long neck, then you can simply place a capo, so it corresponds to the ones with the shorter neck. I use Baglama Duzeni tuning for both.

Whats the tuning of your baglama?
It is A G D. I have a video on tuning.
But why A G D ? I would tune it in modal (D A D - C G C - F C F) Or quinte (C G D - F C G - G D A) or like a bass in quarte ( E A D ). Shamisen and shantze do the same. But the things is " what is the interest of A G D ???
What is tuning for short & long neck baglama ?

Klaus M i see, that means has interval quin and sekt. Thanks a lot
@Erik Seymour Yes, G D A is the Kara (Black) tuning and is very common for long neck baglama.

@Erik Seymour Yes, I fully agree with this. The guitar has become too conform, contrary to the baglama and many other folk instruments.
BUT with classical DOREMIFASOLLA????
Yes. I have learned it like this with LA SI DO RE.. (in Turkey they start from La). I think it is good to sing the melody in solfege.
The reason I did not include it is that I feared that people would be more confused, if they are not used to do it, but it is of course a good way of learning, to sing the melody in solfege.
