MJH's thumb worked like a metronome on that guitar bass line,
Which is impossible to replicate on a uke. Basically it is a three
chord trick. If you listen to MJH sometimes he will sing a verse
and next time around he will not sing the words but fill in with
notes on the guitar... spoonful for example.
For a blues singer his delivery is very soft, he recorded
many of his famous songs in 1928. I fell in love with his
style after hearing Avalon Blues
