When i started i thought anybody who could play barr chords up and down the neck was good, and then when i managed that, i thought people who could make up their own simple solo's were good, and so on.

I think you can only judge yourself by your own progress. There will always be people who look at you and think your good - because they cant do what you can, even if it is just strum chords, and there will always be people you think are good because they can do things you cant.

It is amazing how much a few months of practice can change your opinion of what is good and what is not - but you will probably always consider yourself less good than you are, because the more you learn, the more you realise there is still to learn. At least i do anyway.]]> Guitar Players Discussion almann1979 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-it-mean-to-you-to-be-reasonably-good/#post-363746 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-it-mean-to-you-to-be-reasonably-good/#post-363736 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:29:04 +0000

edit: forgot one thing. rhythm. you can't sound good if you have no rhythm, regardless of what it is you're playing.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-it-mean-to-you-to-be-reasonably-good/#post-363716 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-it-mean-to-you-to-be-reasonably-good/#post-40789 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 08:02:08 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion pearl19 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-it-mean-to-you-to-be-reasonably-good/#post-40789
