- I am barely an intermediate player at improvising even a basic minor blues solo. Even worse when we're talking Major blues
- my pinch harmonics are crap
my recent purchase of the truefire annual sub in the Black Friday thread has also shown me the following (been doing some of the country lessons as again, no clue lol);
- no real knowledge of using chords like maj6, diminished etc.
- I cannot hybrid pick
Slide guitar
I'd say it's overrated, wouldn't necessarily recommend learning it.
Its purpose is analysing music that has already been made but I think it's a mistake to use it to make new music - write the music you hear in your head then someone else can work out the theory if they want to analyse it.
I think it kind of takes the magic away from making music in a way. I remember back when I got my first keyboard and I didn't know anything, I'd just mess around then when I happened upon some good music it was like a magic moment.
Now I'm playing and I already know in advance what will happen on the next note depending on which one I choose so it's more like just deciding which to go for than that magical sense of hunting for a tune.
I've played a very wide variety of music in dozens of bands over the decades and the only door which seems closed to me due to lack of theory is modern jazz.
I've depped in a couple of swing/jump bands with no issues but I think most of us can muster up a bit of T-Bone Walker even if Charlie Christian is a step too far.
I did learn to read music in my more ambitious teenage years but as it turned out to be irrelevant for the work I was doing the skill totally atrophied.

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
