Great lesson…I know of this but not nearly as clearly as I should so seeing this not only teaches but reminds me of the importance of tempo and rhythm.

I like this lesson. The thing that helps me on strumming is using a metronome,a good tool to use

3 minutes of drivel before you begin to explain the nuts and bolts. Not an auspicious start.
