Alzapua from Entre Dos Aguas Guitar Tutorial (Paco De Lucia)

In this guitar tutorial, I’ll show you how to play this Alzapua passage in Entre Dos Aguas by Paco De Lucia. This is a descending pattern in E minor also known as the Andalusian Cadence starting with Em – D – C – B7. The melody is in the bass part and seeing as it’s alzapua, we play it all with the thumb. Alzapua is a flamenco technique that utilizes the thumb to create a rapid succession of chords and notes runs. The term literally means ‘raise thumb’ and requires control of the thumb and wrist. We’re going to take it 2 bars at a time. Blog: https://www.latinguitarmastery.com/ Insta:   / sergioguitarist
