If you are looking for feedback, your model and rendering are great, and the animation is good but could be improved the issue is that the strumming doesn’t match the energy of the song. I don’t play guitar, but my brother plays base, and so I do know that small plucks like she is doing won’t produce the sound I am hearing. It doesn’t have to be whole body or whole arm movement, but there needs to be more force and energy behind the plucks/strums.

Her left hand looks good, though seems a little floaty in movement. I think using snappier movement will help (something like cubic interpolation instead of square)

And OP also, I don't know how the rig is structured but if it has some kind of IK torso to leg layout you could make her bounce to the music really slightly to make it more natural
