Thanks. I've used a thumbpick since I was knee-high to a stop sign. Hey, it worked for Chet, Merle, Doyle, and Tommy.
The one thing I DON'T like and no one has picked up on is that I used a little bit of compression on this recording. You only notice it when I hit the strings hard. It's a harsh sound. This is the one and only time I've tried compression on nylon strings. As good as some nice compression sounds on a steel string acoustic, it just doesn't work on nylon strings. Never again! (If anyone wants to hear the difference, I have a video of me playing the exact same guitar mic'd in the exact same way but without compression here:
