Mother Maybelle Carter was a pioneer of the guitar and helped turn it into a lead instrument. The Carter Scratch style is named after her. In it's simplest form it's a combination of lead notes, usually on the bass strings, and strumming patterns. It works great with You Are My Sunshine for guitar.Since the style combines lead notes and strumming it will sound great in the context of a group or if playing by yourself.
In regards to the strumming, while the tab may show you need to strum 3 or 2 strings. You don't have to be that precise. While the single notes demand a bit more accuracy, the strums can be a bit "looser". As long as you are holding down the proper chord shape and strum at least 2 to 3 strings, you will get the job done. If you end up strumming 4 or 5 then that's fine too. It's all about the sound that you want. Usually you'll strum fewer strings on your up strums - 2 to 3 is plenty.
