How do you play chords on a guitar?
Typically, the 6 string guitar is tuned on the notes EADGBE. If you strum across those strings without touching the fretboard you would have a Em7sus chord. Building the chord, we have root (E) 3rd (G) 5th (B) 7th (D) and the added 4 (A) which is a suspension note. To make other chords, you learn the theory of how to make a chord and then use your fingers to press down and change the open strings to something else that fits the chord that you are trying to make. Get a guitar chord chart and use that but it would help you tremendously to learn the theory to understand why each chord is what it is.

How do you press the ukulele chords with four fingers so it will make no sound?
If you mean "Chord Zed," the "Z chord" or "the scrub", the key is you don't press. Rest your fingers gently on the string to dampen the vibration. You don't want the strings to touch the frets at all.

How do you play a guitar chord that requires holding down more than 4 strings with your left hand?
You'll have to be more specific... There are barre chords which use one finger to press multiple strings, like flattening your pointer finger across the fingerboard, and there are some where you simply take your ring or little finger and flatten it against the top few strings. In other cases you can use your thumb to press down the bottom string(s) if you have the dexterity, which would free some of the other fingers to play more complex chord shapes.
