Can anyone tell me what grade I would be in guitar?

I don’t know because i’m self taught. I can read tabs, understand complicated rhythms, and know a lot of chords. I can play some Jimi Hendrix songs. (and do hammer ons and pull offs and that stuff)

Wow I didn’t know there were grades in guitar!!! If you also know bar chords, it sounds like your level would be advanced… guess that doesn’t answer the question… =)

Answer #2

Well, if grades existed, I’d call that close to grade A I guess. However music is a universal language that crosses all kinds of boundaries between people. Notice that artists have a “style” that is their own and songwriters, well they are the root of the tree. A well written song can bring emotions out of people that they didn’t know they had anymore and think about things they have forgotten about. (just a philosophy of mine, hope you don’t mind) Your playing skills are obviously well on the way, I encourage you to be creative. It’s a great feeling to write a song and other people love it !! (It’s also great to be able to play like our heros too isn’t it)

Answer #3

People don’t tend to worry about grades much when it comes to the guitar. I’d say, just by what you wrote, that you’d be around grade 4-5. But that’s assuming that you are using the right hand positions and techniques, which most self-taught people don’t. If you have done all of the technique practice and exercises, finger exercises etc.. scales etc, then you’d be grade 4-5. But if you can only play chords, read tab, and basic things like hammer ons etc then I’d say you are about grade 2-3.
