yeah, it's different scales, i forgot the names, it's mostly from intervals though, like when you play a note in one string then another on the next fret and then for the thrid note you play it two frets above, all in the same string; try it and you'll hear that sound. i've come up with some great oud riffs on the guitar.

anyhoo, james blackshaw is also worth the mention.
