Has a very interesting arpeggio, kind of “sweeping” thing…
I heard Gambale saying that he invented the sweep picking, and of course he’s great at that, so this is like the flamenco version of this sort of techniques and it was Paco (on nylon strings, playing with fingers)
that brought this style of arpeggio in Taranta,to describe minor modal chords and some dominant chords namely over:

Im, bVII7, and bVI7.

(the piece is in Bm, so we are talking of: Bm,A7,and G7.)

but this technique can be used in many many ways…
I hope you like it!
