I've been playing guitar for exactly a year as of a few days ago..based on these details please tell me how I'm doing.

First off, I only consider being able to "play" a song, being able to play it perfectly. I don't settle for errors. If I'm going to play a song at a gig I best be able to play it perfectly. Don't badmouth me that everyone makes mistakes, because the way I see it, if you can't play a song like the original, you can't play it.

Scales: Don't know many of these unfortunately..All major..minor pentatonic..and some others

Chords: I know all of the following:major..minor (to include 2 different variations)..maj7, sus4, 7, m7.

Songs: I can play the following songs (read the 2nd paragraph if you havent):

RHCP - Californication
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (with a few mistakes)
Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine (intro part)
Oasis - Wonderwall
Blink 182 - All the Small Things
RHCP - Snow (not quite at full speed)
.........and a bunch of other simple chord songs like: Viva la Vida, How far we've come, plenty more...

I am not perfect with bar chords yet but I'm working on it (practicing Reel Big Fish - Beer).

My right hand tapping is pretty fast..I just can't rip a solo like Slash.

I know some music theory..I can read music in treble not bass clef (from playing trumpet).
