Very novice player here, so take that into account. Just last night I recorded myself strumming with 2 different picks trying to determine which sounds better. I initially switched to the softest pick I could find because I was having SO much trouble with the upstrum – like I could not do it at all. Now that my strum is a bit better, I tried the pick I was originally using (which had been my Dad’s & came with the guitar I got when he passed). My conclusion is the softer is easier to strum with but the firmer makes a much better sound.

Agreed, that power chord in the first lesson of the 30 days was daunting. But I felt it made the next days feel easier.
Did you download the 30 day guide? It’s 70 pages and has a bunch of useful info about holding the guitar towards the beginning along with video links. I found it helpful when trying to figure out why my back was hurting – definitely called it my guitar injury for a week or 2 :).
