He's using thumb cos that's the way he taught himself to play the guitar. He used his thumb instead of a pick cos he had a day job and he practiced guitar when he got home at night. He didn't want to disturb his wife in bed so he didn't use a pick but his thumb which produces a softer, more mellow sound. Another guitar great gone way too early, like Robert Johnson, Charlie Christian and Jimi Hendrix.

The sax player second from the left is the very famous English jazz saxophonist Ronnie Scott, RIP, who also owned the very famous 'Ronnie Scott's' jazz club in London,,where all the legendary jazz players/singers performed.

I never liked jazz.maybe i was listening to the wrong jazz. This moves me.

He's using his thumb for a reason, and it would have fooled me, I love his playing....

e

There is also a reason he's been such an example to other players, maybe because of the unusual style !?

I only know that when listening to his music, it doesn't sound as what I see.....so we should all close our eyes and listen to the damn music...

Second from the left is Steve Jobs.
