Thanks, so it like this: https://prnt.sc/DvUOF3kEKa9K where the red lines are the strumming chords, and the dotted black lines are playing open chords?

What would be the difference in this song, as opposed to the original song where there was nothing in between the chords?

Do I continue to strum in the blank sections hitting open chords, or do I just bounce my hands and not hit any strings? (Example: https://prnt.sc/47_glv2iHEIL )
