Alzapúa and abanico aren't too bad, I'm getting better, still slow though. I'll post a video if you like. Up to you if you want to post a video and ask others for feedback... i mentioned alzapúa and abanico as i think those and pulgar all "help" each other, so if you're working on pulgar it's good also to focus on those. In any situation like you have in the first video where you are dragging the thumb down across 3 strings, that part is kinda easy (for me, anyway), the hard part (again, for me) is lifting the thumb back across those strings back to the lowest one of the group to play the next 3. Both alzapúa and abanico involve lifting the thumb, so you are practising that in those. Also the thumb, hand and wrist need to be really relaxed in abanico, so that helps too.

tricky bit for more concentrated tricky bits a friend of mine did one of Manolo Sanlúcars 3 week technique courses way back and showed me an exercise where you skip strings with pulgar, so you play strings: 6, 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6, 4, repeat. The chords are C, G7, C, F, C, G7, C. The descent from strings 1 to 4, 2 to 5 and 3 to 6 is hard. Anyway, I forgot it, and trying to remember it I played it like this: 6, 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 4, repeat, which is a bit easier as on the descent you are "only" skipping 1 to 3, 2 to 4, 3 to 5 and 4 to 6. I thought it reminded me of something else though... turns out it is the same pattern as Villa Lobos estudio 1.
