Tomatito's monster alzapua off Pasando el Puente from the Flamenco Vivo album. I transcribed it years ago (that's the easy part) but never nailed it at speed.
alzapua at 1:45
Also, I posted a video in the swap shop (page 81) earlier this year of a Pedro Sierra tangos alzapua which he plays at about 170 but I flail at 130. Scroll down from the video, there is a sound file there of Pedro in all his immensity. I can do a tab if anyone is interested.
Those two should keep you happy for hours [:D]
Edit: oops, I over looked the word "productive" [:D]
Edit 2: anyone up for an old school Manuel Morao accompanies Terremoto alzapua challenge?

I know the album well. A teacher of mine used to joke that Tomatito has a pneumatic air wrench installed in this arm that he turns on when he wants that. Like a mechanic taking off a car tire with an air driven socket set.

Here's a rough tab. I don't have a access to a slow downer right now, so there may be one or two errors - for example the rasgueado might start on 8 not 7, but it's more or less as written here. Circled numbers are the beats of the compas - they should all be correct.
Strap your electric drill to your forearm and ride that wild surf!!!
I stopped the video at 1:51 to figure out that chord. He looks so effortless the way the thumb glides. A very different kind of sound than the industrial power tool sound of Tomatito.
