Into the Rhythm of Love - FingerpIcking in Dropped D

The song Into the Rhythm of Love has an interesting fingerpicking guitar part to look at.  It is in standard tuning and the picking is done with a thumb pick and the 2nd and 3rd fingers. 

 Here are the basic chords and left hand fingerings for the verses.  Note that these are the chord shapes used for picking.  There is no strumming in this song.  Sometimes I do add an index finger strum when I am doing the bass with my thumb and picking with the 2nd and 3rd fingers.  The left hand fingerings are shown below the lyrics:

Note that I play the Bm7 up on the 7th fret.  The second and third fingers are slid up and down the fretboard in the same position on the third and fourth strings. The sliding action is used as an effect, particularly when going from Bsus2 up to Bm7.

Note in red that after the A/F# the fourth finger adds a note as a transitional effect.

The picking is done with a thumb pick and the second and third fingers.  Here it is for the Bsus2 chord with left hand fingers on the 2nd and 4th frets:

 
In the above, the thumb picks out a steady bass on the 5th or A string.  The following music demo separates the four chords of the verse so they can each be heard more clearly:



Here are the chords for the chorus.  As with the verses these are the chord shapes used for picking.  There is no strumming in this piece:

And here is the classical guitar solo based on this song, recorded on my telephone but should give a feel for how this song can become a classical guitar piece:
