Chords for Mineras

I was checking out del Monte's flamenco lesson site and he played a brief example of a mineras. Sounded pretty good and I'm now trying to find out the chord progression (and specific chord fingerings perhaps) for a mineras in G# phrygian. So any pointers would be welcome. I'd also appreciate if someone could point me to where I could get hold of a transcription of Callejon del Muro (a mineras by Paco).

Chord progression for the cante or just the general chords used on guitar?

For cante you can transpose Taranta from F# to G#, so all chords the same chorespond up a whole step. Obviously there are special fingerings, but that is a general idea.

If you don't know Taranta, perhaps you should learn that first.

Somewhere there is a thread with all flamenco chords in tab myself and others could think of from A to G#. Look in tabs section maybe?

While we're on the topic, what is the Taranta chord progression?

After the falseta/salida you come to rest on F# with the treble strings open.
The cante comes in and the chords are D,D7, G
The guitar answers in the space by going to D major some how. Either a fancy run or like Riqueni just strums D with F# in the bass.

Then the same thing, D7-G, but the voice goes keeps holding and you move E7-A. Sometimes there is a break there to do an answer, but here she keeps going and it is D7-G again, and the guitar answers to D major again in the space. Notice this time he takes the bass notes up the scale from A7-D.

Same thing, D7-G, E7-A, D7-G. This time a fancy answer to D. But it is common to stay on G here also. She sings "Ayyyyyyy!" and it is D7-G again. And then you just wait for the ending G7-F#.

So Minera is the same type of thing, but all transposed up a whole step. G# is tonic. So E, E7-A, F#-B, E7-A, answer In E major, etc, final resolution is A7-G#.
