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?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

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.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
