ALso what Cool said! IF you want to see a video, I suggest you watch and listen to Emmylou, Linda, and Dolly doing The Sweetest Gift with Emmyloy on guitar. You can hear it exactly with some easily added embellishments and watch on a couple of excellent side views. Though her hand looks closed as if on a flat pick, you can see its not. This is also a notable clip here because the "Gibson Girl" is playing a Martin.

The second song, Bury Me Beneath the Willow, has Dolly on guitar and again with an embellished Carter Scratch. Dolly is a much better picker than most know and how she does it with those damn nails is sorta' amazing.

The camera gives you several good pictures on each song and about half of learning this strum is in the listening.
