I'll show you what I mean
Rate me from 1-10 [u](think that I´ve been playn´ for only four and a half year)[/u] and rate you self compare to me.
You are even suggesting your rating. See ? How can one give an object rating when you say something like that ? I think it's pretty distrubing. Tho', it's very human. This post leads to nowhere dude, with all due respect. If you wan't people to like what you play, get in a band and play your own stuff. I'm sure you are capable to do it (as I see your little resumé) you just need, like I said, a little bit more selfconfidence ! I appreciate it way more when some complete newbie post a trick he's proud off he found himself (although it's not really impressive to advanced guitarplayers). You don't need to show off against other people and certainly not against us. We all accept the way you are (yeah, I know, hippiebull****, but it's true !). My suggestion is to lose the lack of selfconfidence (sounds ridicilous, certainly when you read your list, but I think it will really make some difference) ! It will help you much more than a rating !
I'm not mad at you, not at all :) I just told you my humble opinion. oh and by the way, I really would like to hear some things you've played, because the list do seems impressive.
