Basically, this is a good approach to all this Carter style playing - start learning the song with a simple flag picked accompaniment and then add stuff over the years to your arrangement.

I play this style of flatpick song accompaniment for pretty much all the songs I sing. Except when I'm Travis picking.

Saw them a couple of months back. He has a lovely, subtle touch as a guitar player (mando and fiddle too). Class act - I even stole one of his gags.
