What can I do? What can't I do?

I need to take stock of my current skill set. Sometimes it's easy for me to say "I can't play guitar" when it's not really true.

What am I able to do?

* Play common folk and rock chord voicings, both open and barred.
* Use a capo to quickly transpose.
* Read chord charts
* Read standard notation when played in 1st position
* Play major scales in two or three different forms
* Struggle through arpeggios
* Play solid rhythms
* Play many worship tunes by memory

What am I unable to do?

* Play arpeggios fast
* Play many different minor scales and modal scales
* Play more "interesting" voicings of chords
* Play REALLY solid rhythms
* Play many jazz tunes by memory

I think I'll try to edit this post regularly. It's good to keep an inventory of current progress.
