I've been listening to Niño Miguel's albums and watching videos of him on youtube for the last couple of months. He has become my favourite. What a genius he was!
What is happening at 2:01-2:03? Sounds like alzapua rather than rasgueado as it is so "springy". Or maybe I am wrong. What combination of strokes would produce that?

Not just amii four times? Notice how his right arm is moving up, similarly to how it does when you're having to cock your fingers into the thumb before flicking them out in a rajeo.
Wow, by the way - he's looking really good in that HD video. I wonder if someone is taking care of him whey they don't do something about his teeth, whether dentures, or implants.

'cause he's dead brah
Jokes aside, I heard a story once, cannot recall where, that he 'out-falseteo' PDL in a mano a mano during a fiesta.
If you don't have his two albums, La Guitarra del Niño Miguel and Diferente, you should get them. Flamenco guitar just doesn't get any better in my opinion. Those albums are fantastic.

You are wrong he is just flicking aggressively on the accents (4,6,8,10-11), ami triplet, i up.
Also, the section of falseta at 3:20 ish to 3:30 is out of compas (3 counts missing or extra)....and he is recreating the same mistake that was made on the original recording....watch the palmeros.

Thank you Ricardo, and Ramzi earlier. I don't know why this jumped out at me like that the first time I heard it. I was so impressed with the springy sound and crisp firing.
