Once in a while the subject of my playing/practice comes up in conversations. Well...maybe more than once in a while...I like talking 'guitar.' ;)

Surprising to me, I've had questions basically worded, "Are you good?" Although the query came from friends I was still taken aback...maybe because I was a little sensitive to trying to attain 'good' level. Or maybe what I thought the hidden question was, "You? Play guitar?!" :rolleyes:

Anyhoo, I found a response that fits me and tracks a little on Jeremy's suggestion above, "I'm better than I was yesterday but not as good as I'm gonna be tomorrow."
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
