There are vast amounts of resources on the Internet for flamenco guitarists. Oscar Nieto, a dancer, singer, and master teacher from Vancouver, BC has compiled an excellent list of sites for guitar, including tabs. Gracias, Oscar. At the top of Oscar's page, navigate to "Flamenco Directory" and "Resources for Guitarists".
Another excellent compilation of guitar tab resources at Ravenna Flamenco.
A recommendation for guitar study videos (thanks, Tosh):
Encuentro Productions.
Flamenco-teacher.com has an extensive searchable discussion forum for guitarists as well as streaming video lessons (some free exercise lessons & falsetas, others fee-based).
