As promised from now on we publish new series of videos (guitar lessons) at Shahab Tolouie’s YouTube Channel. You can find them under Guitar Lessons playlist. Also, you can Subscribe to the channel to get notifications about new guitar lessons.

The videos of the playlist will be those where Shahab will explain how to play a particular song of his and will answer your questions.
The first song is “Cafeteria by Vltava” composed in Prague years back. This instrumental composition suits the compass of flamenco “Tangos” with some slight changes in compas in chorus section of the song.

Two new songs have already been published at Shahab Tolouie’s youtube channel.

“My Lost Smile”
The main theme of the song is played on both Guitar & Persian Setar (triple neck fusetar). At the same time while semi-acoustic fretless bass holds the groove. The use of the little chain and coins on the 1st bass string is a very interesting creativity. This adds a tambourine-like sound to the overall sound.
Shahab Tolouie composed this song about 15 years ago and by time he made some minor changes to the main theme, which was previously written for quintet. This is the short version of the song for demonstration purposes and the main (full length) song will be released officially on the upcoming album “Terra Mediterranea”
