Am i a good guitar player... i play...?

Question

k the hardest song i can play is Eruption by Van Halen
i can also play divinity within and blindfolds aside by Protest the Hero... i was just wondering if i am good yet cause ive been playin a while

Answer 1

U sound pretty good but now u need to find some more advanceed stuff to play like Steve Vai. Always try to challenge urself. Otherwise u get stuck in a rut and then u tend to get bored. I could play eruption perfecttly after playing guitar for only 6 months.

Answer 2

im a intermediate guitar player and i find guitar hero games more difficult than playing the real guitar. for one, you have six strings on a guitar, where as the game has 5 buttons. the game actually has you moving your finger further when you play single notes than actually playing real guitar. where a note on a real guitar might have you just fretting a lower or higer string. the game makes you fret a button that further. i like playing chords on the game. in that, it does feel like your actually playing chords. another thing is that you dont really have to look at a screen when playing a real guitar. so you do need more hand eye cordination to play the game. the songs in the game are set up pretty good. its not just random button presses, the game does have repeatable patterns. its defintely fun. its just easier to play real guitar.

Answer 3

It doesn't really matter if you can play Eruption. I've heard so many guitarists claim to be able to play songs like that, and they know the material, but that doesn't mean that they can make it sound good. If you can play those songs up to speed cleanly, then you are probably pretty good. What's more important, however, is are you improving?

Answer 4

It kinda sounds like your're just fishing for compliments, but...

yes, you are probably good. Unless that's the only music you can play. Eruption is a million times harder than that Throw some D's song.

Now try to write your own.

Yea you might be good at playing but you need to know your music theory so you can manipulate the songs that you play like in other keys. When you can play like Dreamtheater then you know your music. Check them out at http://www.dreamtheater.net/
