What is Pete Seeger doing here?

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum. I've been lurking around for a long time, but now I have a question to ask you guys. I've seen this video of Pete Seeger playing "Lonesome Valley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcbqCssiBUc

My question is: during the first verse and chorus he's doing something that sounds like his classic Seeger Strum, but seems to me that there's something slightly different. Sounds like he's not brushing the strings at all. I've tried just skipping the "brush" part of the Seeger strum, but it doesn't sound quite like it. My question is simple: can anyone tell me what he's doing here exactly? From the close-up of his right hand I would say he's using three fingers, but I'm not sure. Can anyonehelp me?

(Sorry for my bad English, but I'm from Italy. I hope I made my question clear).
