I’ve bought a guitar a few years ago but I am really having a hard time. Positioning your fingers is one thing but playing the chords along with the strumming pattern is another. I really want to learn how to play but it’s not going to be easy.
Do you know any site that teach the basic or know chords of a song and its strumming pattern? Do hope to share it with me.

The best thing to learn it is by having someone to personally teach you, as you don't need to enroll on guitar lessons class but a friend who knows how to play it can help you perhaps.
It is really hard during the first, but you'll get the hold of it once you practice once a day. I for one have seek help from my relatives, as my uncle is a great guitar player and that is the reason why I indulged myself in learning the instrument.
If only I am near to your place, I could teach you personally for FREE!;)

Well if you know Introvoys' "Line to Heaven" song, then that would be a good start. The chords are just simple, basic D-A-G-A.
Or you can also practice singing and strumming America's "Horse with no Name." The chords are Em- and F#m-, it's all the same until the song ends!;)
It's hard to look for chords or songs with chords here online, some of them will be very difficult for you to foollow through and other's are not that accurate as it is. Try asking your neighbors, not just relative..

I’m a music lover but I only know how one instrument that I know I can play and that’s flute but guitar..? I’ve tried so many times before, whatever kinds of guitar I have tried but I just don’t have the chance so I gave up. Some musician says playing the guitar is harder than playing the drums.
