However there's a small hiccup, from 1:22 to 1:27 the picado run is near impossible to do due to the frets going upwards 15. I was thinking of a way to connect the part just before 1:22 with the 2nd picado run at 1:28.
The one solution I found is to exclude both picado runs and simply go about my day with the rest of the compas, however I really want to include the 2nd picado run because I felt it sounds great just before the alzapua. Any help is much appreciated!
I want to know a way to connect the part just before 1:22 with the 2nd picado run. Connecting them directly sounds awkward. So there needs to be something in between. Probably an easier picado run than the first one that doesn't go high on frets. I don't have a cutaway guitar so it's difficult to go so high on the frets.

Alzapua part starts at 1:34, right? I refer to the first run at 1:22 as the picado run, the run at 1:28 is pulgar, used like a plectrum. The first run goes over a chord sequence like Bm A G A and the second one starts alike and closes on andalusian cadence Bm A G F#. You can replace the first run by anything which goes over the cadence Bm A G A.

it sounds to me that the high picado run is an OCTAVE HIGHER than it should be, on purpose of the fact he has that cut away. In other words, if you know the notes, do them one octave down in any position you want. And the octave slide thing an octave down as well.
