Glad that was useful, Adam! It’s really rewarding when, after practicing a song with a metronome, you play the song without the metronome and nail the rhythm.
I’m happy for you that you’re learning quickly - that’s especially nice when starting out! When you inevitably get to something challenging, it’s great to go back and play the stuff that you’ve gotten good at. 
Hello and welcome to JustinGuitar and the Community Adam.
Kudos and good vibes for posting a video and asking for feedback.
If you are only focussed on your strumming feel, not on chords, chord changes etc, I strongly suggest you hold your hand lightly against all strings to mute the sound. Because they are all open strings, the sound rings out constantly and the strummed hits all merge into one another. there is no clarity and definition in the sound of your strums as individual moments.
Go for a percussive sound and you will much more easily hear the rhythm, the groove, the sense of a good feeling strum. If you do this along to a metronome or simple drum track it will be even better. Start slow - about 60bpm and nudge up to about 90bpm.
Another piece of advice I would give for your own self to help you analyse is to watch your strumming with the volume muted. Look at the mechanics of your hand and arm as they strum.
Definitely relaxed!
Does anybody have the problem that the more you relax, the more you seem to lose a firm grip on the pick and it starts to slide around? As I tighten my grip up on the pick, the palm of my hand and then wrist start to stiffen up. Is this a newbe thing? Does your pick grip get stronger over time where your not consciously gripping it tighter all the time?
Hi Ronald @WASTED6885, welcome to the community. I’m a beginner (grade 2-3) and still work on this, so I’d offer that it’s more a beginner thing than a newbie thing. The paradox is that it is incorrect to tighten the grip on the pick, so do try to avoid that becoming a habit. I’m guessing you’ve watched Justin’s How to Hold A Guitar Pick lesson. He has a whole lesson on Pick Manipulation for Beginners in Grade 2 Module 8 - it might be worth jumping ahead and having a look at that for some tips directed to your current challenge. Let us know how it goes!
Oh, and if you’re up for it, consider visiting over here and telling us a bit about your guitar journey. 
Well, as still a beginner after 18 months, yeah, if I didnt have a death grip on it, it would roll over the place. I have since invested in some Dunlop max grip pics that have little bumps on them. (If you get any, they are thinner than regular Dunlop pics. Atleast the .6 Dunlop Tortex seems to require .73 max grips for the same flexibility.)
Now my problem seems to be the nail on my index finger behind the pic sometimes catches on a string on the upstrum and throws me completely out of the strumming rhythm.
Always seems to be something!
Holy crap. That is exactly my issue. I have been noticing it so much lately that no matter what I do, my stupid index finger plays the strings and then my pick, it’s like a double strum in 1 movement.
I also recently upgraded to better picks, I got an assorted pack of the Dunlops, I have chosen 3 to use so far, which are the ones with ribs on them. I have noticed though, that these do seem to be marginally smaller than the other pick I was using, so the problem is a little more pronounced
I have been mentally thinking about this so much, as much as I want to dive into grade 2, which I have done the first module, I feel like I am going to end up like I did a few years ago, where I was deep into the course and the fundamentals just were not there, so I have been working on rhythm, and strumming. It is gonna take a while I feel to get there.
However, the ribs on the picks I have noticed do help in movement, in that there is less.
AFter watching this, I moved to carrying a pick around and spinning it in my hands for practice.
Then i’ll strum on my leg while I am walking or on the train…
Hey Judi, sorry for the late reply. Just finished battling another round of Covid. Thanks for the info, but my problem might be a little more physical. I cut the tendon in my right index finger about 40yrs ago in the service. Don’t even really think about it now, but when it healed it actually twists down and away from my thumb when I bring it in to grip. Long story short, it just makes me have to turn my wrist over more to keep the pick level. Since it is not as natural a position, my thumb and index finger don’t like to stay together. Something I will have to get used to I guess.
Hi Luna, Thanks for the reply. I like very thin picks for strumming, and have been using the Dunlap .38 & .46 picks. Part of my problem is an old injury to my index finger that does not allow it to come together with my thumb at the same angle as most people. Makes me roll my wrist farther than most and my fingers want to separate. What I am looking for is some of the slip on holders to thicken the back edge, but all the ones I have found feel mushy on the really thin picks.
BTW: I spent 3 yrs at Ft Devens in Ayer MA, and my wife worked at the big plastics factory in Worcester while I was there…
Ah, got it. I’m sure you’ll find a way to work with it. Heck, you might even develop a unique sound!
I can sympathize with your Covid battle. I just tested positive this morning. Ugh.
Really sorry to hear you got Covid. I so hope it only has no or just a very mild effect on you. Get well soon!!!
The AFROTC sent me to Fort Devens for my physical, right after the infamous Blizzard of '78. Roads were off limits for civilians but I guess our little blue AF van was okay to roll. lol
You could always try thumb picks if you find it too hard to manage. This is just a random example from Amazon.
Hi Ronald & welcome to the Community!!!
You might be able to get a better grip with this one:
Seriously, I have a similar issue with pick grip & found Everly Star Picks better for stability.
I recently got some Dava Grip Tips… very stable but not really to my liking… not sure why really. Maybe because the material is Delrin & I’m not used to it…
Just food for thought!

Hey Judi - so sorry to hear that you’re positive for Covid… hope you’re doing okay!
Tod
Thanks Tod! I’m starting to feel better today - might even have energy to play guitar - but still testing positive. At least I’ll have something to keep me busy as I’m confined to home! 
That’s a good, positive way to look at it, Judi!!! What are YOU strumming/working on lately?
I’ve been struggling to get better at the “percussive hit” fingerstyle & keeping in time… just can’t seem to get it down!
Tod
I was there 92-95. I was the Senior Enlisted Maintenance Advisor for all the Reserve and National Guard units in New England. Spent the entire time traveling the 6 states. Also went thru 2 of the worst northeasters for snowfall. Anyway I think I will order some of those thumb picks just to try. Thanks…
