I first heard this tune by Marcel Dadi in 1975. Later I heard of Chet Atkins and a lot of other Tumb- and Fingerstyle Guitarist, who played this tune. It is classic Thumbstyle or "Boom Chick".
You need the "independent thumb": play the bass line and while playing talk with a friend. When this works for you start playing melody on the beats together with the bass line. 3. step is to play the melody on the beats and off the beats - then it should sound as two guitars playing at the same time.
Nice playing !! could you give me some tips about how to play the bass line and the melody part separately please ?
