At what point do you get to tell people....

I PLAY guitar

rather than

I'm LEARNING to play guitar

[GuitarPsy]

here might be some possible situations:

1. you're able to play one song
2. you're able to play the songs you wanted to play
3. you're able to play some songs people like

but in my opinion; let others do the judging, don't to it for them

It's not one or the other. It's both. Always. :)

[Razbo]

I tend to be self deprecating and say 'meh, I'm trying to learn a bit'. If they think I'm awesome, then so much the better. ;)

Clearly you've not heard Razbo on his guitar.

They're not.

[Razbo]

Clearly you've not heard Razbo on his guitar.

Neither have you! :p I am, in fact, quite awesome.

They're not.

My Mom thinks so.

Why you got to hate, man? Why you got to hate?

[RickBlacker]

Nice nice! No haten' just love man. :D

You know, seriously... I'd love to hear something Razbo, when are you going to post something for us to hear?

The key is to not worry about what other people think very early on. The more the cloud of worry and doubt hovers over you the harder it is to abandon it. Remember that if you never stop playing, you never stop learning. That being said, saying both things is more than adequate. Got get em! :cool:

Glad I stay in my dog house "Shed" so no one hears me play or wants to! Very few know I am playing again and I want to keep it that way until I am good. Check back with me in 5 years!

Yep, I hear you. My wife was saying the other day that she never gets to hear me play... Honey, that's by design! :p
