It's good to be self critical - there's no point in being complacent; but by the same token, you shouldn't be so self critical that "everything I do is awful"; it's all about finding a happy medium.

Hearing something you played badly should make you go, "Man...I need to practice that", not "I suck"...in my egocentric opinion anyway, :D
