Spanish Caravan Right Hand Technique

I want to learn Spanish Caravan by The Doors, but I can't figure out how the intro is played so quickly. What right hand technique should be used?

RE: Spanish Caravan Right Hand Technique (in reply to FlamencoPasion)

Just descending arpeggio played all rubato and what not(slightly sloppy). It's a little piece of a granadinas(grana'inas) so it starts with a BM chord and moves that shape around....like many old school granadinas.

Move those two shapes around a bit with some arpeggios as fast as you can muster and you're not far off.

This is just barely counts as a flamenco question so you're on thin ice, next time you'll be drawn and quartered by the flamenco police! haha JK

Kinda interesting that they did throw a little actual flamenco in there.

Just in case.....
Descending arpeggio - P M A I
Ascending arpeggio - P I A M
Sounds like there's some P strumming in the mix too.....
