Matthew Lee keeps the open G string ringing while moving through different G, D and C voicings.
That one drone note ties the part together and gives a simple three-chord song more depth without making the rhythm too busy.
A big part of Matthew’s approach is seeing the neck in groups of three strings. It gives him smaller voicings to move around, makes it easier to change register between the verse and chorus, and leaves room for little fills.
He even borrows a short idea from the solo before the chorus so the whole arrangement feels connected.
This clip comes from Matthew’s longer lesson on getting more out of a live country rhythm part.

Which idea would you try first, the open G drone or the three-string voicings?
