Jim Opfer's intro to his fandango is the best one I've ever heard. It's an original, and I'm not sure he's willing to part with it tho. If you're good at picking up notes from video (which I'm not), you can get the notes from his video.
Otherwise, someone was saying that you could use Varraciacion 1 from the Granados series as an intro.
Miguel de la Bastide has a couple of falsetas here that might serve as an intro.
If you come across anything else, feel free to post it back here as I'm also on the look out for an intro.
Jings, Francisco, I'm stunned to read this. I made it up but strictly speaking it's not pure Fandangos being in 4's. I don't have it written down anywhere but I'd be more than happy to share it. I'll either put up a slowed down video or have a go at tab for Malo and whoever else wants to have a go at it. It's really easy to play. As I say, stunned!
