It doesnt matter... if hes better or ur better than him. Theres only 5 guitar players out of 1200 kids in my whole skool.... and i can rip all of them up because all they played was blink and good charrollete. But generally it doesnt matter. U can proabably rip all of those other Axeman up. But it's only about if you feel ur good... keep practicin... and hopefully u r better than that person.
