That's how I started. I used my thumbs, index fingers, and middle fingers and was doing about 40-50 wpm when I used to do a lot of programming. My friends said I'd be super fast if I learned how to use all of my fingers. When I started learning how to type, my speed dropped to almost nothing and gradually got faster. I found that if I didn't think about it, I actually typed faster. It's funny I get much slower if I look at the keyboard than if I don't. It's like I trip over myself.

I've surprised a few secretaries when I've typed faster than they do. They don't expect to see a fairly large man typing so fast.
