Nic Jones was quite an unusual guitarist. He played fingerstyle using fingertips rather than nails. He used some odd tunings and had an amazing sense of timing. But on some tunes he also used an interesting right-hand technique that has quite a distinctive sound, and I'm not quite sure how he did it.
These are the best two examples I can find. It's like some sort of odd hybrid between strumming and fingerstyle where he's using either his first finger or the thumbpick to pick out notes whilst holding down a rhythm at the same time.
