Lili Afshar, you left this world far too soon. Your remarkable talent and the music you shared will forever be missed. Rest in peace. لیلی افشارعزیز، افتخار ایران و جهان، چقدر زود رفتی. روحت شاد
Absolutely beautiful! What I truly admire about Lily is her Pure and beautiful SOUL! She is an amazing Artist! So proud to be from the same beautiful land of Persia!!!
It truly is just for quarter-tones. She's my teacher and she corrected me about the half-tones (seeing as that's how the guitar is already divided and I should have been able to think that through) and wanted me to let you the fretlets' real purpose.
As it is properly written at the beginning of the video, this is a medley of two folk songs "Dareneh Jaan" (درنه جان) and "Aziz Joon" (عزیز جون) from the Mazandaran province of the Iran. And this version seems to be inspired by the arrangement of the same songs for vocal and guitar recorded by the first Iranian female opera singer Monir Vakili (منیر وکیلی) on the album "Chants et danses de Perse" (1958).
The modern oud has no frets - look at the great Simon Shaheen, for instance. Afshar plays western repertoire on a western instrument, but sometimes wishes to play middle eastern repertoire too, which requires quartertones. Rather than switch instruments, she's provided quartertone frets. It's an unorthodox and clever solution -- quite elegant and ingenious, actually.
@@Minotauro_di_Chieti You are so stupid that you insult lady .I dont know what country you are from .But Ms,Marcin absolutely right . This is a local iranian song in the name(aziz jun)in persian, and my dear in English
Persian folk music (e.g. the 5 popular Persian ballads) does not use quarter tones. Dr. Afshar also plays traditional Persian music that does use these extra frets (such as Gozaar on her Hemispheres CD). Her DVD explains it.

لیلی واقعا عالللیییییه
lily has passed away R.I.P 😢
Her tremolo seems to feature some kind of miraculous built-in reverb ... most inspiring!
First time I hear from Persia's guitar sound: precious !
Invidio i tuoi allievi, che hanno il privilegio dei tuoi insegnamenti. Senza parole Lily
Excellent and soulful playing! Lily is definitely a fantastic guitarist.

I've always loved Afshar's playing. It's so well done, clean, and unpretentious in some way.

I apologize. They're for quarter tones, which are intervals that are half of a half step.
تنها صداست که می ماند

@ritubahar Actually, she is using tremulous for a famous old Persian melody.
Lindíssimo!
افتخار ایرانی هستی
Zendeh bashid!
That's fucking awesome
what are the small partial frets in between normal ones here and there? they seem to be made of wire and not just for reference..
❤❤
I kept waiting for your nose to touch the fingerboard.
@ultram4 there are extra frets to play microtones
