Nick Lowe - What's Shakin' On the Hill

If you know of a song that you think would make a good lesson, here is the place to bring it up. As of May, 2015 we have over 800 song lessons but are always on the lookout for more. Be sure to point out what about the song makes it a good candidate, unique or unusual, a particular part that interests you, or just that you think a bunch of members would enjoy it. An embedded video would be helpful as well.

Nick Lowe (whom God preserve), with his signature thumb-wrap and thumb strum style; I'd like to know how to play this without being able to wrap my thumb over the three bass strings(!) and retain the walking bass sound. Quite a workout for swift single-beat chord changes, I also love the full strum on open strings as punctuation 8-)
