I've been playing for about two years. The first year I took lessons, but since then I've just been playing "free lance". I'm decent, I suppose. I can usually play anything if I actually sit down and take the time to learn it and get it right.

I'm not real good at improvising stuff for solos if I am just fooling around, but I can play a few solos. I'm not sure how they rank on the difficulty scale, but I sound almost exactly like Jimmy Page when I play the solos to Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love. The Whole Lotta Love solo is really easy, in my opinion. It's an awesome solo, too, so if you haven't tried it out, you should do so. Once you know the solo and the main little riff, you can pretty much play the whole song.

EDIT - Oh yeah, I have an Fender "American Standard" Stratocaster. I bought it for like $450 on eBay and it is an AMAZING guitar. Of course, I haven't played anything else, so I'm not really sure how amazing it is!
