Gitanos Trianeros Transcription
I signed up for Orhan Atrafana's free email newsletter and I get all kinds of useful things from him. The latest one has a link to him playing his transcription of Paco de Lucia's Soleares, Gitanos Trianeros. I think it is excellent, extremely useful; since the video shows his hands playing the whole thing, I think I could learn it just from this video. But he sells another version that has it broken down and slowed.
I agree Ohran has some great stuff on youtube. Did you see his recent comparison on different strings? I think that was really great and wish I had seen it earlier instead of burning through all the strings he tested. I just started working on Paco Pena's Acerca Del Rio and he has a nice version that is great for me to learn from:
