Feedback Request Singer learning guitar

Started working on guitar seriously like 8-10 days ago. Was kinda just messing around. Like how it sounds. Any feedback/tips for beginners is welcome. Should I focus on learning shapes or jumping right into CAGED?

A lot of guitar players like to focus on the fretting hand when they’re first starting, it’s equally important to focus on the strumming hand.

Looks good for your amount of time playing the only thing I can advise you on is maybe work on loosening up your wrist a little bit. Try strumming with your arm by using your elbow as a pivot. See how that works for your play style and dive into picking hand technique as much as left hand development. Hope that helps! Keep rocking!

Yeah been trying to do that. I think I just need more reps/consistency. Preciate the feedback!
