Conrad -> RE: New Tab - El Viejin bulerias (May 19 2006 2:34:13)

Hi, I am learning a lot from people's ideas on this matter... I should say one thing which is that originally I had hoped to contact all these artists and ask for permission, maybe even in the hopes of selling my work (and paying royalties) but I decided that it is nearly an impossible task! Instead I offer them gratuitously because I want to raise awareness of these artists as Phil acknowledged. I strongly doubt that any of this material will ever be published. Flamenco is unique that way. What percentage of flamenco falsetas or compositions are officially published compared to other music? That said, to me the only trouble here is that as Sean rightly and eloquently suggested, these artists may wish to offer official scores of their own work. In the meantime, I do only tabs which to my good knowledge, have not been published and I don't think there is enough material on my site yet to put a threat in to that opportunity that they have. The variety I offer also dampens the effect. I do want to account for this possiblity, but I mean, it's just so unlikely that these things will be put to paper by anyone else, and they should be!! So now you see the quandary!! HA! -Con p.s. I have had proposed commisions to transcribe things by people in Spain and elsewhere, but I've turned them down due to these moral and practical complications and all the aforementioned issues in this thread. Furthermore, my work could easily be stolen (and sold or spread free) if I did transcribe a whole album, for example. It's what has happened so rampantly with Alain Faucher's work, I know.
