There is a capo on the 2nd fret, which shifts all the chords up one full note. That is, once the capo is on, putting your fingers in the standard C chord position now makes a D chord. The instructor refers to the chords with the actual chord followed by the non-capo equivalent chord position in parentheses, ie D(C). The chords are D(C), G(F), Em(Dm), Bm(Am), A(G), A7(G7).
The strumming pattern loops in 8 beats, where each beat could be considered one up or down strum at a regular rhythm.
