Paco Peña 
Soléa without title
LP: The incredible Paco Peña
Classical, long, complete, no surprise, but enough to satisfy every Paco Peña fan
.
Milonga without title
LP: Fabulous flamenco
A reminder of Ramón Montoya, this pleasant and easy to play re-creation invites to go further with Rumbeando la Milonga, from the same recording.
.
     
Manolo Sanlúcar  
Garrotin (sol) Mantón de flecos
LP: La guitarra de Manolo Sanlúcar
Sabicas used to play the Garrotin in C. In fact the G tuning (sol) seems to be more commonly used for accompanying cante. This piece provides for it the finest composition of Manolo Sanlúcar.
.
Minera Barrenero
LP: Mundo y formas vol.3
Another major composition of M° Sanlúcar. Long and highly developped piece, Barrenero was among the earliest compositions renewing the minera style, in the 70’s.
.
   
Quique Paredes
Tangos De maera
LP: De maera
This tango in rondeña tuning is efficient, percussive and as usual with Q. Paredes, very easy to play.
.
Granaina Paseo de los Tristes
LP: De maera
Superb classical and crystal clear material in the style, with same comment as for the tangos , very easy to play.
.
   
Paco Cepero
Soleá por bulería Cruz vieja
LP: Abolengo
Here again very easy stuff, and here again an unequalable ratio musical efficiency/ease of playing
Explosive and full of original ideas.
.
     
Manuel Cano
Caracoles Madrid flamenco
LP: Temas flamencos para concierto
The caracoles has given very few intrumental solo pieces. Manuel Cano uses here a very original open tuning in C, which enhances the guitar volume and brilliance.
.
       
Sabicas
Fandango Recuerdo a Almería
LP: La guitarra de Sabicas
This fandango is different from the Huelva form by its refrain, whose characteristic theme is played by the chiming clock of Almeria’s town hall. Also celebrated by the magnificent Serranito’s Aires de Almeria, it is easier to play in the Sabicas version.
.
Alegrias without title
LP Sabicas y Carmen Amaya
All those who like Campiña andaluza from Flamenco puro will love this other version, with new developments, of the same piece.
.
Niño Miguel
Taranto Minas de Río Tinto
LP: Diferente
Another magic moment with the Great among the greats of the gypsy guitar.
.
Mario Escudero
Malagueña Brisas de Marbella
LP Guitarras y flamenco
Escudero’s beautiful version of this unfortunately almost forgotten style. To be classifed into the malagueña popular style (ending with verdiales) different from the malagueña flamenca.
.
Danza mora Noche en Lindaraja
LP Guitarras y flamenco
Another danza arabe, which combines the beauty of the rondeña tuning with the spell of oriental melodies.
.
     
As always, you can buy a cassette tape recording of any of the above pieces if you purchase the transcription.
