Great video. I like to add one thing. I have just started to practice the C, G and F chords using my pinky on the high string as an embellishment as your video points out. I struggled using my pinky especially because the nail was getting in the way when I tried to finger the high E string. But I found a great tip online. I first I cut my pinky nail short. Then everyday I file the pinky nail with a glass file. The goal is to get the nail to get as short as possible so I can finger easily with the pinky these chords.

Twice a day, I play for 5 minutes chord changes between these three chords that use the pinky. In a short time I have started to develop a callus on my pinky with the nail not in the way.
