I have been going through the GF1 series and are working on all the simple melodies stuff in chapter 5.

Now when playing those i was wondering where you should look while practicing?

The reason i am curious is because i noticed if i focus on my strumming hand i get tunnel vision and forget about my fretting hand.

I seem to do much much better if i focus on my fretting hand (left) and just kinda trust that my right hand will strum the right strings. It sorta works , i still miss strum here and there.

So is it better to just let your body slowly build the muscle memory for this by focusing on your fretting or should you watch your strumming?

I worry about being curled over the guitar like the Hunchback staring at my strumming hand :)

Just don't want to develop bad habits.

Any input is much appreciated.
