Another strumming epiphany

I've never liked my strumming. Somehow it feels like I'm banging away at the instrument, either too loudly, or hitting the wrong strings, or there's buzzing, or there's an evil strumming gremlin made of broken glass who lives between my strings.

I did discover something about my right-hand technique recently. It seems to be that fingerstyle things sound better with my right hand further across the sound hole than flatpicked strums, which seem to sound better further back to the right.

I could be imagining this....or it could be that gremlin has simply moved for a few days, but that's my current thinking.
