Worth posting this then ..... I play in a similar way as I started on classical so I'm not a 'thumb over the top' guy. That's where all similarities between me and Doug end ....

Admirable technique but so "meh" I only just managed to bring myself to comment.

Totally agree, and not only was  the playing simply showing off with nothing to say, but the tone was shocking, especially when he played more quietly, horribly fizzy.

Is the thumb-behind technique now so rare that it's worth commenting on? :-/
