Beginner playing Ode to Joy – I'd really appreciate some feedback on my technique

Hi everyone!

I've been learning acoustic guitar for only a few days, and this is me playing Ode to Joy from my beginner course.

I'm not looking for compliments—I really want honest and constructive criticism.

Could you please tell me:

Is my posture correct?

Is my left-hand finger position okay?

Am I holding the pick correctly?

Does my picking technique look right?

Is my rhythm consistent?

Are there any bad habits I should fix now before they become harder to change?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you notice even small mistakes, please point them out. I'd rather fix them now than develop bad habits.
