Flamenco pieces for two guitars (Duo...

Hello mates,
my friend and I decided to play some flamenco music as Duo guitars
so apart of improvisation I was wondering do you guys know any transcribed good pieces or books arranged for two flamenco guitars ?

so far I collected entre dos aguas , Tangos + Zapateado of mi camino/paco serrano and rumbas flamencas/G.Martinez.

thanx

There is not much flamenco duet material transcribed. I have a book of the "friday night in san fransisco" which has been transcribed into regular score.
I have been trying to track down the Faucher transcriptions of Sabicas and Escudero. Faucher did 6 transcriptions of duets from these masters which are
solera gaditana (alegrias)
la farruca
camino de monte (tientos)
ritmos de sabicas (bulerias)
sevillanas
sentimiento flamenco (sigurilla)

If anyone has these please let me know.

Hi, Elie.
Thank you for writing. We're glad you like our playing. We did a huge amount of work to transcribe much of the music we play and we don't like to just give it away. There's also a concern about competition. Sometimes we may trade something for another transcription that is of value to us. Best wishes.
Sincerely

I didn't transcribe the arrangements sorry. The 1st guitar parts are on my website in most cases, but the 2nd parts I arranged and showed them to Roberto who has them memorized. If he forgets...... bye, bye arrangement. No worries, I can always make up new parts.

Take a piece you like and make up parts, you will learn heaps about music in the process. Tools for the process:
Unison
Octave displacement
Counterpoint
Harmonized by 3rds and 6ths
Harmonized b 4th and 5ths
Other intervals for dissonance
Strum chords in rhythm underneath the falsetas and switch every other falseta.

Compare piano reductions to their full orchestral score..... the answers are there.

2 guitars much easier than writing for orchestra.
