For about four years I have been trying to learn the guitar, but still don't have any of the chords down. What should I do? Any advice?
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Practice lol. Are you talking basic major and minor chords? Start with open fret, build callouses and move on to barre chords

I'm a guitar teacher & this is my advice.
If you've been at it for *FOUR* years and you don't have *ANY* of the chords down, then you're either not practicing or music isn't your passion. Otherwise you would have at least learned one song, most rock, blues, country, & pop tunes only have 3 chords.
As a tip I'll share this, I start many of my students learning major chords in the first position. Learn major chords E-A-D, there are literally hundreds of songs using this progression (ie: Panama-Van Halen, What I like about you-the Romantics). As you learn more songs you will have to learn more chords.
Otherwise there are literally tons of instructional vids on YouTube for beginner guitar.

@ManFromTartarus I don't think it's my passion. It sounded fun, by it reality, it wasn't so much for me.

If you want to get up on stage at a coffee shop somewhere and entertain, just learn a few simple chords and riffs and become a Great Singer. Yes, practice and learn how to sing a few good songs and your ability to sing great will pretty much balance out your mediocre guitar ability.
