@BrettH999 Thank you for the information. Funny thing is I can actually play this song and Stop This Train with the percussion pretty well. Ahh, It's so nice to see yourself progress.

@mynameisjonas45 It is called percussion picking. It's all in the amount of time you practice. Its done by slapping the Bass E string with your thumb while pushing down with your fingernails and then immediately pulling your fingers back up. (the thumb and fingernails at the same time give it that click/slapping sound) If you play guitar, start out by learning how to do it on "Stop this train" its much easier than this song.
