Just heard a few lines of the original, sounds like travispicking to me, keep those alternating bassnotes going, whatever you do!
Will listen to it some more later, see ya!

Ness, I'd like your expert opinion please. As we all know my ear ain't so good, but I swear I hear this song capo'd at the 3rd fret in standard tuning playing E's and A's and B7's (and an A at the 5th fret x07655 and an A with a B on top at the 5th fret x07657). The little lick with the E chord is hammering on the 2nd fret from the open B string and grabbing the F# on the high E string. Can your ears tell if Greg is playing a 1st position E chord (capo'd on the 3rd fret) or a 1st position D chord (capo'd on the 5th fret in dropped-D tuning)?A few pointers on Telling Stories:
Drop D-tuning.
Alternating bassnotes
capo 5th fret
More chords than just D G and A. I also hear a Bm and even a Gm (changing from G to Gm).
I'd say, get the chordprogression down first before trying to incorporate all those embellishments. Well, that's what I'd do!
That's it for now, gotta go!
