You can transcribe and use EXCERPTS for teaching purposes, but to write down an entire piece under copyright, on paper, without out permission, is illegal. If you write out a piece for a student in it's entirety, yes it is illegal. If the piece is published in print form, you as a teacher should encourage the student to purchase the score. If not, it is fine to work on EXCERPTS. Technically, you can teach only "excerpts" on a weekly basis until the entire piece is learned in small chunks, and it is legal. Falsetas are totally legal and perfect for what the laws allow. Copyright on works recorded after 1972 (and any older stuff renewed since then) is, as I recall, 50 years AFTER the death of the composer. So for guys younger (died after) than Nino Ricardo, NADA is public domain until after 2022, more or less.
But, WHO REALLY CARES??????? Copyright business is more to protect little guys from getting their tunes ripped off by Brittany Spears, or whoever that makes BIG bucks with little talent. Teaching kids guitar riffs is no big deal.
