Does anyone have an accurate tab for this Moraito falseta?
If he played the whole thing through without interruption by himself I could transcribe it, but its so fragmented and with the two guys struggling to play along, often out of time and/or playing wrong notes I am finding it maddening to sort out.
There's a variation of this in the 8min long Jerez bulerias, which Faucher has on his website, but I prefer this version and there are several differences.

Why do you need tabs guys? The most important thing when you play moraito stuff is groove. Don't care about the notes, try to groove. When you learn that falseta with tabs you'll play the "right" notes but you haven't understand moraitos soniquete.

i dont know if groove + sounding like sh*t really does the job...because thats what would happen if I played without tabs. any art that I can think of starts with imitation...until you become a master, then you can groove and whatever...

Sorry buddhafist but that's rubbish. Groove comes first, only foreigners (like me too) thinking that the other stuff is more important. The jerezanos start to learn to play three notes falsetas, only thumb, no fancy technique, first. Than comes the other stuff. Take a look at the first falseta
this is a really simple and a really hard falseta too. FIRST try to groove on those few notes, than play moraito, vicente, paco, tomatito

jof, I think I know what you mean, but again, even for this "simple" falseta I would need tabs, to know what to play. I can´t start out of nothing. I mainly compare it to martial arts now...no need to learn coreographys containing 100 moves in the beginning, but at least someone has to show me one or two moves (the tabs) correctly so I know where to start.

I've gotten used to learning face to face or video to face because that's the way all my flamenco teachers have taught me. But if I'm being honest I wish I had tabs tor reference for some of the trickier falsetas. For compas strumming tabs seem to be cumbersome though, since it's just chords the rhythm is the hard part and that's easier for me to hear then read.

I play the exact same version of this falseta, infact i learned it from this video! you can too! use Amazing Slow Downer program and you will be able to learn it note by note... more recently I changed the remate ending of it and made it just like Diego del Morao's interpretation of his dads falseta. not to mention that diego already has another version of the entire falseta which i havent learned yet..

Moraito is such an inspiration.
I highly recommend software called Transcribe. You can loop, slow down and it can even tell you what the notes are. Its a painstaking slow and tedious process but in the end I think you learn and appreciate the music more. I find that almost tabs are inaccurate and miss some of the nuances in the music. I downloaded some Moraito tabs from Encuentro and found them to be not so good.

Don't know what you mean, this is a different video - the Encuentro Moraito video (which I have) and has nothing to do with the masterclass video I posted. Also, the falseta under discussion isn't in the Encuentro video in any case.
For the others who mention Faucher's transcription - please see the last paragraph of my original post.
I am grateful for input but before this threads keeps rumbling on I should say thanks but I transcribed the falseta and learned it months ago

Diego's soniquete sounds like magic.....and he makes that face after he does something like he knows it. I think he sold his soul like Robert Johnson.......
