This Taj Mahal thing is a palace in Seville, to my knowledge. :) This is a part of his Seville concert (which is why I think the venue is there). The rest of it is stuff like Albeniz, Bach, Scarlatti and Vivaldi, and then you hear THIS. I was blown away. This guy can play ANYTHING.

I agree that it is ...

I agree that it is very difficult! To make sure you're doing it as simply as possible in that part, I would recommend striking the triplets (P,M,I) as opposed to trying to double up the thumb. Also, the simplest fingering is to use 1&4 for the first two sets of triplets, and 2&3 for the third set. This leaves 1 free to grab the melody note of the next chord. Also, keep in mind that the triplets on the E&B strings are the same shape as the ones on the D&G strings. Hope that helps!

It's an incredibly ...

It's an incredibly difficult piece, but extremely rewarding. The feeling that you get from playing through it, especially the chord section in Part 10 (I believe it's between bars 152-185) puts a grin on my face every time. And fortunately, that's one of the easiest parts to play (Part 11 makes up for it, though).
