This one is mostly based on the playing of John Reischman. There's also some crosspicking. John's playing hints at that, but is a bit looser. If you play it exactly as written it will sound great, but listen to the recording links to hear him play this as well. You'll hear some notes stand out more than others. The A and E strings are used as drones through much of the song. In instances where those strings are being crosspicked in this arrangement you could just play the A or the E twice instead of alternating between both. There's some great licks to check out here. Dig in for some more crosspicking options.
