Personally speaking, I have found that an arpegggio style covers a lot of mistakes. When plucking over a held chord or non-held chord, I have found that some melodies, (at least to my ear), sound a little better when using the next higher or next lower note in that chord. So as long as you're working in that chord and that chord only, it can cover the mistake of hitting the wrong melody note quite nicely. The song "Amazing Grace" comes to mind. If you can play 3 simple chords, it's kinda difficult to hit a wrong note, (wrong note meaning on that doesn't fit in very well). Hope this helps.
