Doc's Right Hand Picking Technique

Re-working the song in a Travis picking way introduced delicate complexities, and yet produced a really relaxed feel. Many acoustic guitarists have a variation of Deep in their list of songs, and I perform this song routinely in public.
However, not many of us perform it in really the same way as Doc. Mostly, this is due the dexterity required. A lot of guitarists try to accommodate the complex picking technique ( as they see it ) by using two or more fingers on the right hand.

The resulting sound can be impressive, but doesn't really reflect accurately what Doc does.
Other individuals over-simplify the approach, which is a bit of a shame. In reality, Doc's approach on Deep River IS simple, but it's the sheer dexterity that floors us.
