So weird how he plays with his thumb though. I thought I was weird for using my fingernail (on my forefinger) as a pick.
A lot of guys will use a thumb and a finger or two. Gives a certain kind of plucky sound which I, for one, like. Mark Knopfler uses his fingers. So does Lindsey Buckingham, who I've always considered very underrated. I think Duane Allman did too. You get a great slide sound using fingers.
When I played, I used my thumb a lot. I tended to pound too hard with a pick. I was never more than a shitty rhythm player so it didn't matter all that much.
