    I met Thumbs, one night at the Palomino night club in North Hollywood.. Really nice guy!.. I'd been talking with him for about ten minutes..before a friend sitting at the table said, Hey, Rowland...I don't think I've introduced you!.. This is Thumbs Carlyle!.. My gosh!..My jaw must have dropped to the floor..LOL.. A really nice man and AMAZING!!.. guitar player.. He went on stage, shortly after I have the conversation with him.. I was there that night..it was crowded..and my friend, asked me to join them at the table. Thumgs' wife was sitting there, as well.. What a nice lady.. Both!.. were SO down to earth and real people!.. It was a really great memory for me.

    There needs to be a 'love' button for this! I saw Thumbs in the early 80s and he blew me away for 90 minutes straight. The band was just as killer - Johnny Gimble, Roy Lanham, Tiny Moore, Bud Isaacs and Duane Eddy. Unforgettable!

    Thumbs was a great music artist who was known to the music industry, but not to the public. Roger Miller certainly recognized him when thumbs joined his band. I met Thumbs through Roger and both complimented each other. Both left us way too soon. I wish they had lived longer so we could have enjoyed them more. Both were music geniuses…

    I am what one could refer to as a "post Van Halen (amazing player & innovator in his own right) player" nevertheless I have nothing but admiration for cats of Thumbs's ilk! The first time I heard Les Paul I thought "oh, that's where Jeff beck got some stuff from!" so I started digging back and listening to those cats, Chet Atkins, Joe Maphis, Speedy West, Jimmy Bryant, etc. etc. and all those wonderful players, all of whom show true musicality, creativity and supreme technique, all the while sounding extremely "positive"! Not quite the same style of player but few years ago I bumped into Elliott Randal at the London Guitar Show and told him, "I do what I do, but it's cats such as you that I look up to"...

    @LiveMusicOntario 4 года назад +3

    That's actually helpful to me, thinking about getting back to learning guitar. It's more obvious visually with this finger style than the standard playing style, that he uses next to no pressure on the fret board. I gave up as a teenager because the only guitars I knew were my own two and they were crap with high action (but I didn't even know what "action" was) that hurt like hell. The real musician I gave them to on consignment decades later said "No wonder you quit." They were that bad.

    Thumbs and I used to drink gin at the ol' gin joint near Debuke and Pine jus' outside Scratch Haven. Sometime he'd pick the ol' guitar and entertain us common folk, but sometimes he'd let me join in. Musta been at least 50 years gone by now. I still haven't washed my cheek.

    My God he was good. So far advanced. Listen to some of these "Sweep Pickers" today & they gotta have on their "Buzz Box 20 Lb
    Deep Metal Grind Metal Man Man Box" before they can "Pick" a thing. They touch a string a for a split second before the Noise Gate cuts in its total Shit.
    Listen to this guy. Its a guitar (with what is probably shitty action & feel compared to today's guitars) an Amp & that's it. CLEAN
