I agree Rask. I have what I think are a couple of good qualities for a guitar player: I am never happy with my skill level at any time, and I always feel proud when I feel like I'm getting somewhere. Also, I aim to play and make others actually enjoy listening. Sure, you can't please everyone all of the time, but it's nice to get close. I must say I would find it hard to be quite as committed if I only ever played for myself; i mean sure i would want to get better to jam with albums etc, but performing does so much to inspire.
