Do a google search for “Mark Hanson” he has a book out with Flute and Guitar duets.

Thanks.
Do you happen to know what it gives for guitar in this book? The guitar plyer is pretty advanced.
In searching for the Hanson book, I also found Guitar and Flute Duets by Peter Draper. Anyone familiar with this book?
Having been in a flute/gtr duo for the last 24 years, I am very familiar with Draper and used in many times for wedding prelude music.Your ability to adapt it to whistle will depend on your fluency with keys and transposing, which is a lot to ask of most whistlers who are not other kinds of musicians. The Draper book has some tunes in the easily-whistleable keys but there are plenty others that have accidentals that might be a challenge. So you might be buying a lot of book that you don’t use.
Mark Hanson is a highly skilled fingerstyle guitar player with several instructional videos out. I haven’t seen his duet book, but I suspect the pieces range from easy to quite challenging.

here’s the page: http://www.accentonmusic.com/book_detail.asp?qID=19
Both these books have nots and guitar cords
130 Great Irish Ballads w/CD
Mel bays compete Irish Fiddle Playerw/CDs
Buy the books with the CD’s and you will be able to play along as you learn.
Get yourself a copy of Transcribe (a program that allows you to change speed with out changing tempo.) You can slow the tune down or speed it up as you learn it.
Whistle with a good heart.
