i have been practicing for about a month now, so still very new, but I am throughly enjoying your lessons. I know muscle memory will come with time, but I find myself only staring at my strumming hand. The muscle memory is developing pretty quick in my fretting hand and I don’t really need to look at it after a few days learning something new. my strumming hand though is lagging behind.

Is this normal for newbies or is it a bad technique? Should I continue this way knowing the muscle memory will come later, or should I force myself to not stare at my strumming hand? I don’t want to develop a bad habit that is hard to break. Or am I completely backwards and should I actually be looking at my fretting hand?
