RE: Esteban de Sanlucar Mel Bay book? (in reply to Miguel de Maria)
Transcriptions by Manolo Yglesias? He is supposedly his student and close friend, so most likely they are correct awkward or not. I don't see a problem with changing the fingering myself, but sometimes the reason for the awkard fingering is to train i and m to be more ambidexterous so to speak.

RE: Esteban de Sanlucar Mel Bay book? (in reply to Ricardo)
I think in this particular case, the typesetter just screwed it up, it's literally opposite of what it should be. But you know, all this classical I've been playing might have ruined my mind!!

I play some pieces from this book. I like that Panaderos has a second guitar that works well, I performed that 2 guitar arrangement with a friend a few years ago. I can’t remember if I changed the fingerings on Perfil Flamenco, I will check it later.

Interesting, I didn't know of that. It doesn't work on my computer, but I like these composed flamenco pieces so it might be something I could just buy.
I'm not sure I would have the guts to put big pictures of Montoya and de Sanlucar on my album!
