Kirk's Freight Train lesson is in that style but it is a bit tricky to get down. Another member here, Bob Wolford, has an introductory lesson in this style on his own site - http://bobwolford.com/Friend%27s%20Arrangements.html

Scroll down to pickin' produce for the lesson. You might also need the tableEdit viewer to see it but that is just a small file and can also be found on Bob's website.

Always start slow, and I mean slow, and then build it up gradually once you've got it accurate
