I funadamentally disagree with the tone of the replies in this thread. I feel we should be striving for excellence and not accepting anyone who is anything less than a virtuoso. I believe my virtuosity could be used as such a benchmark, to keep out the mediocre.

In order to support this view, I plan to upload a link to demonstrate the standard we should be willing to accept. At least I will do so once I have managed that tricky C chord!

Seriously, I have been playing for a couple of years and whilst I get a great deal of pleasure out of it, my abilities are very definitely limited but have continued to improve, partly due to help from users such as ourselves, who have offered support.

What's a C chord? ;D  I've heard of a G string, anything similar to that??

I was out for a walk, breveing the fresh air, when I saw a crotchety old man who's face struck a chord. I remembered he'd sent me a note some time ago, so I upped the tempo and rushed by.
Quietly strumming to myself,trying to work out the coda, I didn't cee the snare at the edge. An effing bee flew too close, I slipped and landed up flat at the bass of the cleff, just missing some sharp rocks. Gee, I thought I had a broken neck, so fretted for a time, but it was minimal, just had a drumming headache hammering on and off.
Picked myself up out of the discarded pots, found a bridge, "A, that's D thing I need", I said.
I scaled the path with the help of a dog on a lead, felt strung out with the high action. I put my high hat back on, went home to the triplets, who were playing with the band, had some jam on toast, felt  the  blues coming on, so got a  bit pizzicatoed and all that jazz.

There you go, I've just lowered the tone of this thread.
