I offer an arrangement in D major of the traditional Flamenco Tanguillo de Cádiz as a second guitar to accompany my arrangement of the Tanguillo for solo guitar. The solo guitar arrangement is written in A major. To work as guitar 1 in the duet, the solo version must be played with the capo at the fifth fret to transpose the score to D major. This is normal practice in Flamenco guitar playing. The guitarist simply plays the score as if the capo were the nut. The tones/notes are then referred to as if they were being played in the first position, but they sound of course different.

I created the arrangement in D major to accompany a student I taught to play the solo version so we could play and perform together. It was a lot of fun working on the arrangement and we had a great time playing the Tanguillo as a duet. It was also a big hit with audiences. I particularly recommend this arrangement for instructors teaching the solo version to intermediate students of Flamenco guitar, especially young students who will find it easier to play the Tanguillo at the fifth fret in D major. It is a great inspiration for  students to play along with their instructor, making music together. The arrangement also, of course, works just as well as a duet for two students or two experienced guitarists.

The D minor section contains the typical Andalusian cadence found in the more â??jondoâ?� styles of Flamenco and serves as a first introduction to these darker more serious â??sonidos negrosâ?� as Manuel de Falla referred to them. The many taps or â??golpesâ?� found in the score are, as I said in the description of the Tanguillo solo, not absolutely essential, but they definitely add more â??punchâ?� to the performance and give the arrangement a more earthy Gitano Andaluz character.
