Good, just really busy trying to build repertoire and keep the gigs coming.
As I mentioned I just finished that fandangos, and I'm thinking about what to learn next. I think I will stick with the Rondeña from Ramón Jiménez - A Luis Habichuela that Conrad just transcribed.
Hola Paleto... Hey hope u dont mind me asking is there a transcription around or for sale of Ramon Jimenez's "Rondena"... it is one of my all time favourites...thanks amigo...
I forgot to mention that Alain Faucher also has a nice book called Keys to the fandango you might check out, it has falsetas from many different guitarists, most likely from the easiest to the most difficult.
The same book by Paco Peña (edited by Stimpson) which i mentioned in the Malagueña post has some simpler fandangos aimed at the beginner level). Check Zephyr Music in Sydney, Australia - http://www.zephyrmusic.com.au/Guitar.Pdf
It was not that expensive.
If you can't get the book because they are sold out, send me some email and I will send the fandangos to you when I can scan it.
In the Encuentro serie : - Pepe Habichuela : a great (and long) fandango de Huelva - Merengue de Cordoba : here you'll find the variants of Fandango's rythmic patterns
And, probably the best source for Fandangos, the "Keys to Fandango" mentioned by Paleto.
