Jon,
I also got Faucher’s Moraito book about a month ago. I have been working on the Solea and the Tango’s. I am doing the Solea intro and a falseta for the Group Solea project. Excellent transcriptions and the best part, as you said, is they are very playable by us mere mortals. What I really like about his stuff is it’s highly grounded in old style, yet has that neat modern twist.
One thing I found interesting is the guy must have rubber fingers. Some of the stretches are almost undoable for me. On the Solea, I had to tweak the fingering a hair, just to get it up to speed.
One thing I did find, is on the Tango’s intro, the transcription missed a falseta repeat that’s on the CD. If you follow the transcription, it doesn’t flow well. Just listen to the CD and you will pick it up.

I have Moraito's Encuentro video and I'm searching for the tablature book that I know exists somewhere. I agree with you that his material is accessible to the average schmoe like me.  On the Encuentro video and on the CD he recorded accompanying Terremoto, he plays an absolutely beautiful Malagueñas falseta using octaves and it doesn't appear to be too technically difficult. I guess I'm going to have to take a crack at by ear (and eye, since I have the video), but it would be so much easier if I had the tab (I'm a bit lazy). I think this particular falseta is destined to become a classic. I've heard a few guitarists use it in live performances. Moraito's stuff, in general, is not too technically difficult, but it's not overly simplistic either. The real problem is getting it to sound like the way he plays it. The devil is in the details, as someone once said.  I guess that's what separates the pros from the amatuers.
Phil

I have been using TablEdit for many years and use it for my web site, Handbooks and in general, all my tab work. In my collection I have about 2000 tabs which are not commercially available, things I learned over the years from others as well as original music.
TablEdit has many features and here are a few that I like for learning a new piece:
1. You can divide the new piece into sections by doing a copy to a new file. Label the files with a logical name such as Soleares Introduction, Sloeares Falseta 1, etc.
2. Play the Introduction as an example and use the Repeat function to place the piece in a loop as you play along with the Midi output.
3. Adjust the speed as required and as you learn the new piece you can increase the speed.
4. Finally, you can play along the file containing the entire piece.
There are many features within TablEdit and it is fun to learn how to use it. To be honest, it took me a while to learn and I found out it is best to start with a small project, make copies of the files and date them. So I end up with something like Intro 1-24-04, Intro 1-25-04, etc. The intent is to modify the latest copy and be able to fall back to the last one.
Completed and files in progress are kept in locigal folders. That is work folders are created for Soleares, broken down by Intro, Falseta, Llamada, Ending, etc. The completed piece is placed in its own folder.
Starting off with a plan before you do something sometimes helps!
It works for me.

, I never came across anything like that before. The bar running through the tab and the matching finger locations on the fret board below. Amazing!
