Thanks for that Antonio vid-just superb playing. VA-I'm a huge fan. To me Tierra was an evolution-perhaps more a musical one than a flamenco one, but much of the music stands on it's own as flamenco.

I'm currently practicing the alzapua technique at the moment using Oscar Herrero's book.

are you following the example on the video/DVD?
are you moving your thumb in the same way and getting the same sound?
one of the things you can learn from having a good teacher observe, evaluate and correct your playing is how to do the same for yourself.

I'm watching the video on my 45 inch led tv. I can see how he moves the thumb as well as the wrist. I hope to eventually get the same sound if I keep practicing.
