This book contains note-for-note transcriptions of six original solo flamenco guitar pieces or toques from the author's 2021 CD, Alma de Niño (Soul of a Child). These deep and introspective solos represent a modern approach to traditional flamenco forms and composition styles. Selections include the solea por bulería, A Fali, composed in homage to the author's teacher, Rafael Riqueni, and the bulería, Generaciones, a relatively new toque that blends influences of the great flamenco guitarists. Written in standard notation and guitar tablature, all solos in this book are composed in the standard tuning except A Fali which uses an intriguing DADGAE tuning. Lyrical melodies, abundant left-hand slurs and glissandos, the author's personal arpeggio patterns, and powerful rasgueos emphasize the rhythmic character of these challenging works.
