A fun little Bulerías bit that uses that thumb/index technique and also has a bit of serious syncopation (though we also provide a slightly less syncopated alternative).

You can look at this as a short falseta or as another compás bit. Either way it’s a nice little moment that lands for a second on E Major, which is a distinct sound when playing Por Medio.
