Nice song this one..Drop D is your friend. Pesky old bass E string.... I also like the way you use your thumb and fingers..as some others do including myself. I don't mind a pick but you just cannot get all the little inflections you can with your digits. I strum with me thumb and with the back of me nails..I use my nails for alternate picking..and up strumming..double stops..harmonized 3rds..arpeggios..etc. I use me thumb to create bass melodies while picking one or two treble strings. I like doing that it sounds a little different to just droning a bass string or two. Not that keen on thumb picks although I do sometimes use one..I like to feel the strings, gives me a better connection with the instrument. My preference being nylon strings..like the feel of them more than steel ones. It only really came about trying to learn to finger pick which I did not find easy..
