I'm horrible. I only hang out here because guitarists are cool and chicks dig them. I think I am what they referred to in the eighties as a "poseur."

Good enough to impress a non guitar player and bad enough to make a real good guitar player laugh his ass off!

I'm 'ok'. I've got a number of songs I can play decently... more than words, solisbury hill, 316, crash, so much to say, run around, heartbreak hotel, closer to fine, dust in the wind, and maybe a couple others, and am just starting that long winding road of learning the fretboard. I can basically play major / minor scales in first position but I want to be able to journey beyond the 6th string for improv work, so I'm dling all the website info I can and just learning the notes as well as doing a few vai rhythm exercises each day. Painful but worth it!!

There are always plenty worse and plenty better, no matter how good you are.

AlexB - here's a little tip that can help for learning the notes on the fretboard which I am doing right now as well. Of course in open position the strings are EADGBe, at the twelfth fret it is an octave and once again the notes from strings 6 to 1 are EADGBe. At the Seventh fret the notes spell out "BEAD" then F# then B again. So at the seventh fret from the 6th to 1st string it is BEADF#b. This makes it a bit easier to memorize and locate where notes are.

Also, where did you find Vai Rhythym exercizes? I would like to try them out...

Thanks for the tip Willin! I'll give it a shot...

I found the exercises (so to speak) on Vai.com in his little black dots section... ' here: http://www.vai.com/LittleBlackDots/8...strumming.html

and a few bits and pieces from the Martian Love Secrets section... essentially all I'm doing really is starting the metronome at 120bpm, then alternate picking a single string, then going as high as I can as cleanly as I can, when I start to screw up around 200bpm or so I stop, then go back to 120bpm, and alternate pick between two strings, doing the same thing. It takes quite a while and its BORING AS HELL but if you can get through it, just like Steve says, "you'll be flailing in no time", no time being around 6 months

Umm… I am good enough to be able to play most of "For the Love of God" to the extent that it at least sound quite not-so-bad to me

I couldn't have described myself any better than that.
