Wow Jeffrey, you have improved so much with that strap and new strings and clearly practicing a lot. May I make a little suggestion? Try strumming more gently, way more gently, think feather. I believe you will sound 3 times better Try it and let me know.
Jeffrey, I think you are sometimes hitting the middle string with the tip of your noter and causing extra sounds- try holding it back a little away from the middle string as you slide up and down.
What kind of pick are you using, or are you using your thumb to strum? If you have any tenseness in the right hand while strumming, you may enjoy experimenting with a more flexible pick which will produce a more flowing or gentle effect. I love very thin flexible picks myself, partly because I am a vigorous strummer so it helps balance that in my playing.
Great to see you Jeffrey! You are doing great! Keep up the good work
Keep strumming and smiling!
Cindy
