Best thumb technique? 
I desperately need to improve my thumb technique on the guitar, so I'm looking for suggestions of great players and videos showing their playing. Also anything showing them playing the thumb in combination with the index finger and with golpes would be great. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Amazing stuff Ricardo... Damn I need to study that Paco Falsetta! amazing tutorial.

If you can get hold of the Gerardo Nuñez Encuentro book/DVD there is a whole section on Pulgar that is fantastic.
