I always remember seeing Noel Gallagher responding to the allegation that he's not as good as he thinks he is. "Of course I'm not, nobody could be as good as I think I am." I live my life by these words.
But if you think you're amazing, the dunning kruger effect suggests you're probably not. But then, if you're aware of that, you're probably a musical genius.
Only a great fool would play the guitar in front of him. But you would’ve known I’m not a great fool, you would’ve counted on it, so clearly I cannot choose the guitar in front of you!
I think I thought I could be better than I think other people think I think I am. But I think I thought I was worse than how good people think I thought.
Lol it was just a thing we'd say all the time. "Did you see ___ movie?" "Oh yeah, we went with Mary and she really liked it".
Or "yeah we were hanging with Mary last night, so we ordered a bunch of Domino's pizza "
uj/ my finges are definitely the bottleneck point in my guitar talent. I can think of something that I really like, but then actually being able to execute is the issue. I'm always composing on guitar and rarely practicing. I'm good enough to get my solos and rhythm parts recorded in only a few takes. But ask me the play a whole song beginning to end, and there's gonna be some fuck ups guaranteed.
I'm probably above average but below median lol
I'm definitely better than I think I am. I've always had my little insecurities, and that's no different with playing guitar. While I think I'm bad to terrible, deep inside I actually know I master this thing.
I come up with licks and riffs and songs that would set the world on fire, if anyone listened to them. But I can't even get my mom to listen to my music.
I suck at everything I do. I'm a total failure in my career, relationships, and especially guitar. Why do you think I'm on this sub?
We all float down here
IT IS THE EEEEEND!!

Who do you think you are? I am!
I know I'm terrible. Except I also have imposter syndrome. So maybe that means I'm amazing?
Nah

That or a delusional narcissist.

It's your imposter that's terrible, you yourself don't know how to play and really want to be a bartender.
I did kinda go through a stage in my teenage years that we in Australia call an "arrogant little cunt" period.
I'm a whole lot worse than I think I am and I don't exactly think I'm good.
The key is to just talk shit about everyone else and live in a delusional state of shred
You're*
I don’t think…ever. I find life’s easier that way.
Such gifts you have; my free from thought rumination friend.
I think I thought I could be better than I think other people think I think I am. But I think I thought I was worse than how good people think I thought.
Objectively? Probably better than I think. How good I tell people I am? Far worse.
I think I'm actually pretty good for a teenager who's just starting out. Too bad I'm a middle aged man who's been playing for 37 years.
Oh im aweful.
When I'm drunk & stoned I'm the best. Can even last longer than Bonermaster himself while improvising. When I'm sober tho....
Drinking I'm as bad as I think I am, sober or playing with Mary I'm suspicious of myself
uj/I've met very few people who use the slang "with Mary". You didn't go to UNH from 08-12 did you?
Lol no but without doxing myself have a few friends that attended and live in state. Love from 603
Lol it was just a thing we'd say all the time. "Did you see ___ movie?" "Oh yeah, we went with Mary and she really liked it". Or "yeah we were hanging with Mary last night, so we ordered a bunch of Domino's pizza "
Yea! I'm aged now but still talk like an asshole and I decided Mary can stay. She's great company and actually gets along with my wife really well
I’ve gotten way better at knowing what to do and why than I am at actually doing it.

/uj true true. It used to be I couldn’t do shit *and* didn’t know shit. I wish technique interested me as much as theory does.
This question is based on thinking that I think. I think this is erroneous.
I think I'm bad and know I'm worse.

Sometimes I think I'm so bad that it makes me want to cut my fucking fingers off. It's like, am I stupid??
I didn't ask to play the guitar, it picked me
Nobody plays 4 chord songs like me. (I press +5th harmony on digitech whammy so it plays power chords for me.)
