This basic Scruggs Style rolling backup for Clinch Mountain Backup uses just two repeating phrases to navigate the backup for this entire song! There's a typical G lick that's often used as "potatoes" to kick off a song, and there's a forward backward roll using some of the notes of a D chord with a bit of a bluesy flair at the end by adding in that F note on the 3rd fret of the D string. Practice those two bits of vocabulary separately and thoroughly. Then you'll need to be aware of the extra note pinch in measure 6 of the B part.
