Strumming

Edit

Is this strumming pattern correct?

A note about the strumming pattern: The x means to pluck a string. In the case of ukulele, the intended
strings to pluck are the C and E strings respectively. I don't play guitar so I can't tell you what strings
would be intended for guitar.
 
! IMPORTANT ! Ukulele players read this!
two of the chords are not "traditional" fingerings. Gmaj7 and B7 are normal.
C and D are the same chord shape as B7 but moved up 1 and 3 frets respectively.
