Johnny playing that beautiful Delta-style blues guitar. Someone mentioned a washtub or bass? No way! That's just Johnny, doing the bass with his thumb. He's got a thumb pick and a finger pick on his index finger. Some guys wore a pick on the second finger, too.
One of my all-time favorites is Johnny.

It's amazing how brilliant these blues players were, a load of cool lead licks whilst they keep the rhythm on the lower strings

well there's somebody playin' washtub bass+/or a jug behind him so yah you could nearly accomplish it with a flat pick. Watch his thumb & listen to the bass.
