as seyir (meaning basically, "route"), and there are three types of seyir: rising (çıkıcı); falling (inici); falling-rising (inici-çıkıcı) As stated above, makams are built of a tetrachord plus a pentachord (or vice versa), and in terms of this construction, there are three important notes in the makam: the durak ("tonic"), which is the initial note of the first tetrachord or pentachord and which always concludes any piece written in the makam; the güçlü ("dominant"), which is the first note of the second tetrachord or pentachord, and which is used as a temporary tonic in the middle of a piece (in this sense, it is somewhat similar to the axial pitches mentioned above in the context of Arab music). This use of the term "dominant" is not to be confused with the Western dominant; while the güçlü is often the fifth scale degree, it can just as often be the fourth, and occasionally the third; the yeden ("leading tone"), which is most often the penultimate note of any piece and which resolves into the tonic; this is sometimes an actual Western leading tone and sometimes a Western subtonic. Additionally, there are three types of makam as a whole: simple makams (basit makamlar), almost all of which have a rising seyir; transposed makams (göçürülmüş makamlar), which as the name implies are the simple makams transposed to a different tonic; compound makams (bileşik/mürekkep makamlar), which are a joining of differing makams and number in the hundreds Simple makams Çârgâh makam This makam is thought to be identical to the Western C-major scale, but actually it is misleading to conceptualize a makam through Western music scales. Çârgâh makam consists of a çârgâh pentachord and a çârgâh tetrachord starting on the note gerdâniye (G). Thus, the tonic is C (note çârgâh), the dominant is G (note gerdâniye), and the leading tone is B (note bûselik). The çârgâh makam though is very little used in Turkish music, and in fact has at certain points of history been attacked for being a clumsy and unpleasant makam that can inspire those hearing it to engage in delinquency of various kinds. Bûselik makam This makam has two basic forms: in the first basic form (1), it consists of a Bûselik pentachord plus a Kürdî tetrachord on the note Hüseynî (E) and is essentially the same as the Western A-minor; in the second (2), it consists of a Bûselik pentachord
