Slowing it down a little with a tap and count. Helped me understand the bar correctly again, last chord change was messy but I was focusing on the pattern here and I think this is a better attempt and will work on speeding it up.

so now I have spent some time revisiting this, 100% slowed me down so I think thats a good sign. I was also changing chords at the wrong place extending the bar slightly. Going to spend some time polishign this off and getting it right slow with the foottaps and counting

Glad to hear it! good luck.

Hey, dont worry about that I appreciate all and any feedback! Leg tapping I definitely need to implement more! thank you for this.

Looking at this image its definitely not how I memorised it! strange how your mind can twist something youve stared at for god knows how long! I will rework the pattern. I also will check out the links provided, thank you very much Paul.

I feel strangely uncomfortable strumming, either too hard, too soft and my pick slips.. rinse and repeat the best way?

I got the sense he was patient. Seems like a good match personality wise, glad to hear its working for you. I am a complete beginner too so beginner to.. recent beginner, any advice?
