Those in the UK will probably know of Jim Mullen, a major figure on the UK jazz scene for several decades. My memory of going to see him many years ago, before I started to learn guitar, is that he played all the strings with his thumb. So I checked some clips on Youtube and indeed that is what he does. Locks his right hand bridged across the strings and uses his thumb like a pick. Is he unique in adopting that method? Anybody here find that works for them?

The humble thumb worked rather well for Wes Montgomery too.

Great link Star sailor, Angel Eyes was one of my favorite tunes in the good old days. Pretty sure that is a Hammond B-3 organ, the greatest keyboard for expressing IMHO.

Don't you just just love what he can do with just one thumb?
