problem rhythm of the song

[vgrudy]

I have learned the basic chords; A, E, D, G, F, C,.... But i have some trouble to follow/hear the rhythm/beat of a song. Are there some easy songs to start with + an indication of upstroke or downstrokes

I have recently been studying Malcolm Young - rhythm guitarist of AC/DC - he sometimes combines up and down strokes with the hammer on of a power chord - A5..D5 E5 - after playing relevant open strings.

What can be helpfull are reggae rhythms - where a chord seems to be struck between drumbeats :
To begin with I used to strum conventionally, but purposely I missed the strings on the downstroke, but struck them on the upstroke.

yeah ac/dc isnt very hard. they use simple chords and rock them.
