At one year's playing you're good to go! Have some fun. It's what separates us from them.
Good luck with it!
Best advice already given. Your improvement will go stratospheric by playing with others.
You don't need to be playing anything fancy or technical, as you'll be providing one component out of at least three. Go for it, and enjoy it.
OMG wow - thank you guys, you have all made my day!!!!!
What a fantastic group of people guitarists are!!!
Imo its best to try and concentrate on 2 things. Being in tune. Being n time.
I dont care how fast or slow someone plays... If theyre in tune and in time then i can listen to them. If theyre neither of these no matter what technical abilty they have then i cant :-).
Enjoy.. Let us know how it goes. :-)
We then spent the next five years gigging original songs and even managed a couple of (very) low-key small festival slots along the way. Importantly we had a laugh.
On a scale of shite to ten I'm shite. So just go for it - finding the right people is the most important (and hardest thing) I got lucky when I did it. But I led on it and wrote the adverts etc to bring in the right people.
They happened to be top lads who still form the core of my social circle here as I had just found a new job and relocated.
Good luck and as I said earlier most importantly have fun.

Don't dare form a band until you have practised at least 3 hours daily for 35 yrs, learnt all scale variations and alternate tunings. Studied full music theory to at least phd level. Learnt the structure and build qualities of all popular guitars and built several of your own instruments. Learnt the science of amplification systems and learn how to build and maintain amps, valve and transistor. Studied under the apprenticeship of a master guitar player for a few yrs, maintained their equipment and learn how to set up for live performances.
And then, and only then my son, should you dare to offer your services to the most ordained of all folk, "the pub covers band"
Sort of like my first lesson. Only it was AE and D, a record of That's all right mama, and when I learnt that, I did my first gig, it was only one song, but that's how I started!
