Default Mexican acoustic guitar

Hi, I'm currently not able to play much because my baby son keeps us very busy. But when the opportunity arises, I've been enjoy this youtube channel very much:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsqWGxPtETU

And I was wondering if there is a place to obtain tabs (possible with lesson, Stefan Grossman style) for such music?

Thanks

Yes, Mel Bay has a few of books full of this stuff eg. by Ruben Delgado I have this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Mexic.../dp/0786627182

No lessons as such but easy to follow tab plus notation.

Anything by Rico Stover will be good also, this is great fun and does have teaching/technique notes as well as the CD:

Default La Llorona

Not the same style, but a tutorial about one of the most famous songs from Mexico "La Llorona" (the crying woman)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwi_yRcVK0o

It, like most of the similar songs from Mexico, have online tutorials in Spanish, but maybe from the tabs and the slow speed of his teaching, you can figure it out.

Default La Llorona easiar version

Here's an easier version that is very similar to how I play it. I moved up to his way of playing after writing down all the chords, and then letting my ear tell me where to pick out the melody. He strums the chorus, but I pick it out. That's the big difference between his version and mine.
