I hate these kind of descriptions but i don't know any other way to ask you what i have in mind...so, if you were allowed to bring only 2 flamenco songs with you on a far far far away...freakin desert island :)))) , which ones would that be ?
here is my choice : Paco&Tomatito&Camaron - Tu amor para mi no es fantasia PDL - Cepa Andaluza
I usually rely more on listening to the recording than on tabs, but i wanted to get that solo right. Because its one of my all time favorites
It was mainly the part at 00:45 in the beginning, there are some broken chords in the tab and an awkward position shift in a way classical guitarists might do. I play that part using whole chords and an open string instead and that feels a lot smoother, so i wondered if you did it at the masterclass with him, and know the way its supposed to be, I cant really tell from the video at that speed.
Funny if faucher wants to track down who copies his transcriptions, id like to hear the story, i have seen copies of his tabs taking classes from guitarists from granada to madrid so he will have to hunt down some fine guitarists..

If you are going by Faucher's book, page 32, then yeah it is correct. The C#m7, barre 4th, reach up to 9th fret, then jump down to 2nd position barre 2. That is correct. Not a hard jump really. You are "riding" the contra beat, so you have a full beat to make that jump.
You saw that spot in the youtube video right? Because he is barring, you have to play E on 5th fret. I guess it is not wrong to use the open string and let go of the barre, but that is not what he does. It is a very typical "flamenco" thing to hold the barre and position and reach for notes. Only thing is I think he plays open E WITH the B bass note the first time. Faucher has only the base note. The B maj7 is not barred. Then the next measure A#m7b5, and he does a little different nowadays than written. Not clear what he plays on CD, but this is what I play there:
Man I would be screwed then because I just can't pick two. I love so many I wouldn't be able to decide which two.
Something by Tomatito or Moraito, and something off Ricardo's rumba CD, Azul y Blanco. Seriously Rich. If you read this, it's a damn good CD. It's been in my car stereo for I don't know how long now. Put's me in a great mood. So, if I was stranded, something off this cd would make it barable(sp?)
Hopefully, agujetas and rafael de utrera would be on the same plane as me. We would all survive and I would be forced to learn how to accompany well.
Sounds like a freakin nightmare! I think you would be killed and eaten very quickly. Funny about Agujetas vs Raf. Utrera. I have a personal story, but maybe one day I will tell it, not now.
Trapped on an island with Agujetas sounds scary. Maybe safer with Diego (nice one missing a finger) than Manuel. I mean the guy (M. Agujeta) is perfectly happy singing Martinete, he doesn't need a guitarist to live there eating his coconuts a pestering him about all the different Solea! And maybe you did not hear the rumour of how he beat up his guitarist that gave him a wrong chord?
I would prefer to be trapped on the island with La Singla, who of course got caught in a time warp in 1967 first before washing up on shore, 2006.
