Jim Mullen is a wonderful player. Wes is my fave. Man, you have a GREAT tone. I remember when Royce started with the thumb. A HUGE unspoken advantage of the thumb is that you can get the rhythm RIGHT with the thumb - bebop phrasing. Alternate picking (up / down) is problematic for bebop articulation IMHO even though you can play fast - check Dizzy's tune "He Beeped when he should have bopped" - most alternate pick jazz players have this weakness.

Thank you. I like the sound of the thumb, the richness, and yet still mellow. I have a double joint at base of thumb, so I wonder if that is why I find it quite natural. Never new that about Wes. Cheers!

where is the upstroke? Didn't Wes use that all the time?

I would love to finally drop the pick for good and play exclusively.

I was double jointed in my right thumb, until I broke it playing football, & still double jointed in my left thumb. However, I use my right thumb a lot in Wes's style, & have developed a pretty good callous on it. I think with some practice & determination, one can do it very well. I've seen it in my own playing.
