How to not seem, or at least feel, like an 'ace.' - Like, I'


Ok, here are the facts.
I'm basically an idiot. I've learned this recently.
I focused so much on tone and equipment, I forgot about technique.
I have 2 tube half stacks, an RG 570 with custom pickups, a few pedals I don't even really use any more, and 800 down on my UV777BK.
Now, get ready to either laugh your 'ace' off or kick mine.
I don't even know a scale.
I have potential, I think, and I can play the music I know really fast(as if that means anything), but I never learned to read music when I took piano lessons, mostly because I was forced, and hated it.
Now, how do I not look or at least feel like a total moron walking into my first lesson with a $1400 guitar?
Let alone trying to get my teacher to understand(as in, get why they're making those sounds) Mr Bungle enough to teach me how to play Carry Stress in the Jaw.
Any idiot shield tips?
Should I just say that I'm an idiot straight up?
