Mark2 -> RE: Of Paco's Partituras official transcription books - which are most accurate ? (Feb. 10 2021 21:14:56)
|
I have a bunch of Paco transcriptions-from the old M. Hass stuff, the Japanese books with standard notation only, a Leiva book, Faucher, random tabs etc.
I really can't rate them accurately. I find Faucher's hard to read. His handwriting makes some figures hard to make out.
I think the larger issue is that none of them will allow you to play the material. The work required to actually play the music dwarfs any written help. If you've put in that work, then regardless of a transcription, you can play it.
That said, for dabblers like myself transcriptions allow me to learn a falseta here and there, or just see how something is done without the painstaking work of doing it by ear.
Also when I do figure something out by ear, I'm too lazy to write it down, but I usually retain it.
Personally I like our own forum member Richard's Tabsflamenco.com work best. He gives you standard notation, tab, and GP files. And if you discover a mistake, he fixes it.
