I always make my own exercises. A combination of pulgar and 1 sting upstroke techniques are far from uncommon in modern day flamenco. It can't hurt to practice them as well, on top of the regular types of alzapua. you can start with a pulgar/"alzapua" exercise covering the 3 base strings. On top of playing them in the normal direction you ad a couple up strokes with your thump. E: downstroke open E sting A: downstroke open A string D: downstroke open D string d: upstroke open D string Pre exercices: accents on each 1st note of the group Pre exercice: E-AD Pre exercice: ADdD Pre exercise: E-AD, ADdD Pre exercice: E-A-,D--- Exercice 1: E-AD,ADdD,E-A-,D--- Exercice 2: E-AD,dADd,E-A-,D--- Accents and feet at every first note of the group You can play and feel it as 4 beats (1 and 2 and 3 and 4and) or you can feel it like a slow tangos with accents on 1 and 3 (1 and 3 and 1 and 3 and). If you tune your guitar to zambra (dropped D) and place 1 finger on the A string at 5th fret you more or less imitate the recording you posted. I create exercises like this for all the problems i want to solve, mostly for serious study and sometimes just for the fun of it (like this one). Don't forget you have to study some serious alzapua as well.
