This is a little confusing as I think you have down and up mixed up [:)] In your above tab, the initial arpegio 0012 is a descending arpeggio, thats down from 1st string to 4th. You say you can do it down but not up... Anyway, I think you mean you cannot roll a descending chord. This is done by sequentially preparing each finger in quick succession as the previous finger plays: plant A on the 1st string, then pluck A whilst M prepares on string 2, then pluck M whilst I prepares and so on. See pumping nylon for the details on this. An ascending arpegiato (rolled or broken chord) is played with a full plant and for most people its easier to do. Does it matter if you don't do it? No, as long as your remate is in compas, but these flourishes are a trademark of the flamenco sound, particularly in Solea, so its worth studying the technique. Careful about over doing it though. I used to practice these fast rolled chords over and over and ended up with focal hand dystonia. Its one thing practicing a technique that 'gels' the fingers together, buts its important to work on things that separate the fimgers out to (eg scales/alternations). HTH.
