This is a country swing tune. Note how the bass changes patterns from a basic (1-5) feel in the verse, to a basic arpeggio pattern (1-3-5-3) in the chorus. Click here for an example of what the bass is doing. Make sure you have the free TEF Viewer installed first.
For guitar and piano, use the A major scales, as well as the A major pentatonic scales. You may also try using the A minor pentatonic scale to make it a little bluesy.
