yes, that is exactly how I play guitar in the style of JohnHurt,melody picking,with bass on every beat[although I adapt it to play english trad],and use dadgbd and other modal tunings].
I think I am going to work on three styles, Pooles and frailing and also clawhammer.,its just finding time,still., playing the banjo or the guitar in the evening beats watching the tv,then I practice concertina,for an hour during the day.
I have tried double c thats fun too.
