Rocky4 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Intermediate hack. I play good enough to enjoy it, but would never get in front of people to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Novice two-string power-chord hack. And I only play gigs with friends of mine in the later sets - everybody's drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Duane, Maybe you should have added a category for something like; "Do the 10 year olds at Guitar Center smoke you on $99 guitars?" My answer would be Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I can play decently. Being in front of people doesn't really bug me... unless I'm singing Singing makes me really nervous and messed up. Guitar skills are decent, I can hang in there with people, more of a rhythm guy though, its what I do. I can rip out a solo every now and then, its all good. I just do it for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 isnt the definition of professional' date=' being paid for your services? In a sense, yes, but then just about everyone here could be called a Pro. It's more of an ability Question. Can you read charts and play whatever style is being recorded in the studio today? Can you teach an Advanced Guitar Class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I always think I stink at everything I do. I did have a ton of gigs in my youth. Where does that put me? I'll let you guys decide: [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Advanced/Intermediate Hack, I guess? I play much better now, than I did years ago, when I was playing all the time. Technique, "taste," etc....but then, a lot of music has changed, so much, from when I was playing, in the '60's... that I feel like I'm Way Behind now, too. Taking a 30 year hiatus, didn't help, either. ;>b But...the main thing is, that it's still a total "hoot," and just "makes my day," to get to play again. Plus, I just love guitars, anyway! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 sounds to me like a pro guitarist is the kinda guy who was a music major and graduated from guilliard or something..... I can read chord charts and play all the mumbo jumbo on the spot, but I think that is just being a good guitar player, what is the difference between a good guitar player and a professional guitar player then?

Jeff-7 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I always think I stink at everything I do. I did have a ton of gigs in my youth. Where does that put me? A humble axe player.

cookieman15061 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I was always a real good rhythm guy but that seems to be a lost art today. The last 10 years I've really worked on my lead playing and now feel I can hang or maybe hang on with anybody. I've played in blues bands, rock bands, dance bands and even done some work with country and jazz outfits. I don't think that makes me any better than anyone but being adaptable always kept me playing. I said advanced hack only because I'm better now than when I was playing semi-pro. I once heard a quote from some guitar player who's name escapes me at the moment but he said "The only difference between a pro musician and an amateur is the professional knows how to cover his mistakes."
