Thanks for the observations on my strumming and overall improvement. I’m having a blast right now playing songs, and just having fun helps me improve. A friend suggested I get a drum stick and simply move it just as I would if strumming the guitar. I haven’t been doing it long, but I’ve noticed my strumming is getting back on track. It’s a great way to loosen up my stiff wrist and hand, and to actually hold the pick more loosely. It teaches timing to, because the drum stick, if held half way on the stick has the same momentum back and forward.
