Hi, Stu, working my way through this great lesson, thanks. I'm thinking the arrow in the strum notation for beat 3 of the second measure (chuck) is meant to show a downstrum. Sure, it's obvious! : ) if we know what we're doing...
I edited and re-uploaded the PDF ;-) All the best!
That's great! Greetings from Florence ❤
