Strong points-
-I have a better natural ear for tone than most guitarists. I'm not going to pretend to really understand a lot of it because I don't think anyone does, but I at least know what I'm hearing.
-I have a great sense of rythm, even if I probably can't spell it.
-I have a good background to music theory from band/jazz band.
-I can play just about any style except shredding.
-I'm very creative.
-According to the music teacher at my old high school I play like Les Paul. I'm assuming that's style more than skill.

Feeble Points-
-I can't play as fast as I would like
-I have a hard time soloing over a background I didn't write
-I don't have as good of an ear for pitch as I should, mostly because my first guitar had horrible intonation and I didn't know it for two years
-I'm not even sure what sweeping is
-I can't sing. Singing really helps with playing guitar.
-I really suck at tapping
-I have a good ear for tone, which means I can't play with any other guitarists around where I come from. Fact is there's a lot of guitarists out there who suck ass and do it as loud as they can because they think it makes them sound better.
