Baglama Metodu Arif Sag Erdal Er
The bağlama is a traditional Turkish stringed instrument that has a long history and a rich musical repertoire. It is also known as the saz, which means "instrument" in Turkish. The bağlama has various sizes, tunings, and playing styles, depending on the region and the genre of music. The bağlama is widely used in folk music, classical music, and modern music in Turkey and beyond.
Learning to play the bağlama can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience, but it also requires dedication and practice. One of the best ways to learn the bağlama is to follow a method book that teaches the basics of the instrument, such as its anatomy, tuning, notation, scales, chords, rhythms, techniques, and exercises. A method book can also introduce the student to the different styles and genres of bağlama music, such as bozlak, uzun hava, semah, türkü, aşık, gazel, and more.
One of the most popular and comprehensive bağlama method books is the Arif Sağ - Erdal Erzincan Bağlama Metodu, which was written by two of the most renowned bağlama masters in Turkey: Arif Sağ and Erdal Erzincan. Arif Sağ is a legendary musician, singer, composer, producer, and politician who has been playing the bağlama since he was a child. He is considered one of the pioneers of the Anatolian rock movement and one of the founders of the Turkish Folk Music Research and Development Association (TÜRKAV). He has recorded over 40 albums and performed all over the world. Erdal Erzincan is a virtuoso bağlama player who started his musical career at the age of six. He is known for his innovative and expressive style of playing, which combines traditional and contemporary elements. He has collaborated with many famous musicians, such as Kayhan Kalhor, Erkan Oğur, İsmail Hakkı Demircioğlu, and Mercan Dede. He has also released several solo albums and participated in various festivals and concerts.
The Arif Sağ - Erdal Erzincan Bağlama Metodu consists of four volumes that cover different levels of difficulty and topics. The first volume introduces the student to the basic concepts and skills of playing the bağlama, such as holding the instrument, tuning it, reading notation, playing scales and chords, strumming patterns, finger picking techniques, and simple exercises. The second volume expands on these topics and adds more advanced skills and concepts, such as playing in different modes (makam), using ornaments (süsleme), playing melodies (ezgi), improvising (taksim), playing with a metronome (ritm), and playing songs (türkü). The third volume focuses on the regional styles and genres of bağlama music from different parts of Turkey, such as Thrace (Trakya), Aegean (Ege), Central Anatolia (İç Anadolu), Black Sea (Karadeniz), Eastern Anatolia (Doğu Anadolu), Southeastern Anatolia (Güneydoğu Anadolu), and Mediterranean (Akdeniz). The fourth volume presents more complex and challenging topics and skills, such as playing in different time signatures (usul), using advanced techniques (tezeneli), playing with other instruments (eşlik), composing songs (beste), arranging songs (düzenleme), and recording songs (kayıt).
