pretty good, I'd also mention planting, and a bit more emphasis on pushing into the string, rather than just plucking it.

I know a little finger picking but I don't do that...
What is the actual point of a rest stroke?

When you do a rest stroke, it causes you to push downward against the string slightly, compressing the soundboard of the guitar, resulting in the characteristic 'ping' sound that you should be aiming for.
