This is a nice amateur attempt.. no idea who it is. Snappy and groovy.
There's something about good players - real strength, control and confidence and 'ownership' of the space around the guitar, never mind the specific techniques.
The first arpegio falseta is from P Habichuela. The name of the bulerias where this arpegio is from is Boabdil.
Yes it's based on Pepe's Boabdil/Encuentro bulerías, up until 1:08. [edit: oh I see Orson posted while I was writing - good one, the Valdepeñas Wine Cellar Session! ]
The one in the last part, from 1:52 to the end is perhaps Diego del Gastor's 'greatest hit'. (Odd mixture...) I don't recognize the one at 1:25 but it sounds familiar - maybe that's the 'Moraíto' bit, or Cepero?? Or?? I'm sure somebody here knows it.
Es una guitarra de Valeriano Bernal. Y respecto a la pregunta de cuanto llevo tocando, pues mas o menos unos 10 años mas o menos.. Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Saludos

That melody sounds like a sevillanas Camaron sings in the beginning of this video. Maybe he got the idea from it or it could be that he took it from another guitarrist.
