I'm trying to learn the falseta at 2:26.
It's easy. You can work it out yourself without tab. Play at fifth-fret position and use the open (unfretted) third string.
Sabicas played many of the same falsetas on other tracks that have probably been transcribed, although this particular falseta is not in the siguiriya from the "Rey del flamenco" album (transcribed by Alain Faucher) and Joseph Trotter's transcription (standard notation) of the "Flamenco puro" album doesn't include "Duelo de campanas." So try other resources if you must, but you can probably work it out for yourself.
I have posted short videos analyzing parts of the Duelo. Drop by my site and have a look at the Flamenco Guitar - Seguiriya section: http://liveguitartutor.com
RE: Sabicas - Duelo de Campanas (in reply to Steve Wright)
Hello Steve, yes that was back when I was experimenting with notating a single compás per measure, grouping by 2, 2, 3, 3, 2 to make up the twelve beats. It is a nice way to notate, but I don't know of any software that will do that, so when using Sibelius I notate 3/4+6/8.

Finale can do it; but in my opinion 3/4 + 6/8 is clearer.
One thing I found with Paco Peña’s Toques Flamencos is that writing a whole compás without bar-lines is confusing — you (or I, at least) tend to lose your place. That’s why I still write alegrías in 3/4, even though I know it’s a kludge.
