Sorry, but this is a 2 & 4 skank which is the ON BEAT (the quarter notes of a 4/4 rhythm) and should ALWAYS be played with a DOWNSTROKE like you switched to at 5:10 for a bit in this video. Notice how much better that sounds. This is because it is a reggae skank, NOT a ska skank. It won't ever sound right playing it with upstrokes. When playing ska you are moving your hand at at the exact same rate but playing the upstrokes on the & of 1, & of 2, & of 3, & of 4... for that you play the UPSTROKES

Thanks for the note John, appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks for the detailed explanation of 4/4 time. I'm playing this on the offs here, so a bar consists of 2 strikes of Cm then 2 strikes of G7-9. If you counted it as 2 bars, one of Cm and one of G7-9 then the chords fall of 2 and 4 and I would play downstrokes. As a full-time guitar player I get booked for all sorts of shows and have to learn all sorts of repertoire, so insights like this are very helpful. I'll rejig the chart, so the chords fall on on the 2 and 4 (and thus downbeats) at the next gig. All the best Simon
