We are going to attempt to move our right hand fingers in a finger style pattern called "Travis Picking". This style of playing was named for the great country player Merle Travis. The focus of this style is the driving, continuous alternating bass notes. While your thumb maintains this pattern, your other fingers are free to play melodies and syncopated chord patterns against it.
Here is a link to an adapted version of the Kansas song Dust in the Wind which uses a modified "Travis Picking" style.
Another song that uses "Travis picking" is Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
