Alzapua Rumba Flamenco exercise - Entre dos aguas by Paco de lucia (live)

This is an alzapua study from a live video of paco de lucia, playing his rumba "entre dos aguas". I wrote the tabs through watching the video: Alzapúa is a thumb technique which has roots in the ancient past. The thumb moves down and up, like the in oud plectrum "risha". Using thumb upstrokes has a long history of use in Flamenco music. It´s technique to play both, rasgueo as well as single note runs, like using the thumbnail like an oud plectrum "risha".
