Any advice for people who have recently started playing the acoustic guitar?

The best advice I have for strumming patterns is to just listen to the song and try and just focus on the rhythm. Down strokes sound a little beefier and up strokes are a little more jangly. I'm terrible at identifying chords by ear but can get the rhythm down pretty much immediately. It just comes with time.
As far as playing songs I would not worry about playing just like the recording but just getting close enough that it's recognizable.
