I'm not of course..But I guess I am unique,as I'm self taught. I went to Glastonbury and strangers liked what I played. Do you think you are Good?...

I am by far the best guitar player in my house. And also the worst.

So besides telling us how many guitars you have in another thread, and how unique you are being self-taught, what else can we learn from you? Not sure. Asking might me a good start? Not sure I follow really? What exactly is one getting at?

I'm a pretty good drummer. Buitar? Not so much. But I enjoy it, and -- since I'm subjecting too many innocent bystanders to my playing -- that's all that matters.

my playing has been known to cause barfing on such a scale that I've been listed by the FDA as a diet aid.

I've been playing for fifty years and I'm not as good as I'd like. I'm certainly not fifty years good but I can hang. I considered taking some advanced lessons but for what? I play good enough for my purposes and better than most. I'm not gonna play professionally again so I decided to take up the banjo. If I'm gonna pay for lessons, I want to learn a new instrument! I bought a Stelling ...

Yes. Unless I'm lying. In which case, no. Unless I was merely exaggerating. Or pooh-poohing out of a false sense of modesty. In which case, I'm merely okay at the things I know, but completely hopeless in others. But then again, for a rocket scientist-turned-counselor, I'm a DAMNED good guitar player.

Wow - there's a lot of great talent on here. I've heard kydave play several of his nice guitars, Ed Rhoades playing his Martins and his wife Kim's lovely singing, now Peter Cree, and others. Puttin' me to shame I tell ya! I'm not as good as I want to be, but I am getting better as time goes by. Maybe one day I'll bust a Youtube on here and hold ma' breath.

I had been told too often (primarily by my first wife) that I shouldn't expect to have any abilities. [Glad I left that woman.] I have learned a bit but still don't try to entertain anyone who is sober. A friendly and drunk group of friends is usually pretty easy to entertain. Give up this dream Dewey. God loves a drunk.

`I first started watching some Youtube clips. Kids would play something that blows my useless efforts out of the water and then nonchalantly announce that they'd 'only been playing 6 months'! ' Know that feeling well, Andrew. First visit to Nashville I stopped off at a bar where this absolutely stunning lead guitarist, heading a trio, was wailing away. I was amazed that nobody was taking much notice. When I enquired, the...

None of KyDave's links worked for me, but I heard his music before and it was excellent. Peter's music is real nice and nightmeetslight's stuff is also very pretty. (I downloaded Whiter Shade of Pale for my mp3 player.) You guys are all very good. Here is a recording of me playing one of my songs (no amplification or effects) ...the playing is okay...not as good as the above mentioned...but I think the guitar sounds very good....
