At last, the long-awaited transcription of the historic CD ''Yerbagena'' by Pepe Habichuela has been released as an addition to maestro Enriqie Vargas ' ''Great Flamenco Guitars of Today Library''. This two-volume edition, as all others within this Library, carries a hand-written exclusive authorization by the author of the music. The music on CD exudes the joy of living, pure and sincere as the ancestral wisdom of the Gypsy, who, through the thousands of years and miles preserved their soul and their art. The transcription opf ''Yerbagena'' was complicated by the abundance of Indian instruments, two and sometimes three guitar tracks, singing, etc.. Surprisingly, maestro Vargas not only transcribed all the guitar tracks, but also arranged the most important parts played by the Bollywood Strings, the oud and the mandola for the second guitar. As a result, this work offers flamenco material for solo guitar as well as duos and trios. No need to say, flamenco pieces for more that one guitar have been virtually non-existent on the chart market. It should be added that all the tunes from this CD are perfectly playable on a solo guitar. As in all of his books, Enrique Vargas offers detailed explanations on the forms included on the CD, foot marking, tonalities, the basics of the harmonic and melodic language of each form as well as the analysis of the most difficult comps, falsetas and technical aspects of the artist's style. This turns each book into a mini-manual of flamenco in general and the personal style of each guitarist in particular. This transcription is an important addition to the ''Great Flamenco Guitars of Today Library''. In this bilingual English/Spanish edition, the sheet music is presented in staff and tablature formats with complete fingerings for both hands. Enrique Vargas is the author of the texts and the transcription, approved exclusively by the artist.
