So my great musical weakness (not my only one, just my greatest one) is a poor sense of rhythm. I need to improve this.

Are there good exercises I can do with a metronome to improve my rhythm and maybe learn some useful strumming patterns in the process?

Check out Tekker's lesson on practicing with a metronome HERE, and Solidwalnut's excellent "Much Ado About Rhythm" series, starting HERE. Solidwalnut's 3-part lessons cover basic rhythm, strumming patterns, pick control and a few other topics as well.

Thanks, those look great!
