The alzapúa is a technique that is very widely used on the flamenco guitar. It consists of a set of 3 movements (triplets, sextuplets…) played with the thumb; sometimes there can be a golpe on the soundboard at the same time as the alzapúa. Here is a small sample of how to use it in some flamenco bulerías.
