Do you have problems changing from an acoustic with steel strings to the classical guitar, bearing in mind the wider fret board? I would have thought your fingers would tend to miss the strings.
Thanks for the video

Put on long sleeves to keep sweat and oils off the guitar finish.

Thanks for posting lessons. My teacher reminds me throughout all my lessons to "keep two fingers on the guitar." He says your strumming hand should not float because it makes it too hard to know where your strings are for picking and for when the top string isn't played in a chord. He insists that I use two fingers as an anchor on the pick guard. You say the opposite. There seem to be many questions as a beginner that teachers contradict each other. Hmm...
