I think this is a really advisable method.
I always advise people to stick to and work at simple picking patterns on chords across the D,G & B strings initially and then gradually extend it with string skips.
The main riff to Rebel Rebel by Bowie is an example of simple rhythmic patterns that can really help with practicing hybrid picking.
I think some of my favourite guitarists now are non country players who use a lot of country technique - Jerry Donahue, Greg Koch and Jim Campilongo. Jerry and Greg have a lot of tutorial/ clinic type stuff on youtube and in part they cover hybrid picking, chicken pickin ( in which that fret smack you've been avoiding comes into its own!) and banjo rolls ( for which good hybrid picking is essential - and therefore beyond me :-( ).

I agree with this. .. once you get the basics its a matter of moving things about a bit..
Nah, I've not been listening to any country - although Murder By Death are one of my favourite bands and they're pretty country in spots - just wanna learn a new thing.
Check this out though. I think it's lovely...
Greg Koch DVD ( I think it was Guitar Gristle ) was pretty good for Chicken Pickin' stuff. There was some good stuff on one of Steve Morse's videos too.
It's really addictive mind! I couldn't play for long now without automatically adding the finger-picked notes. It has become part of my playing.
