Right Hand In Lesson 1

Griff, in the videos for Lessons 1-1 and 1-2 you first demonstrates the right hand literally resting on the strings during the rests, but then when playing through the examples your right hand moves up and down with the music, even during the rests. I think that the last bit where your right hand is moving up and down for every beat was just done to emphasize how to count on the up and down beats, correct? In the slow and fast walk through videos your right hand again rests on the strings during the rests, so I gather that this is the correct or preferred way to strum, correct?
