to be quite frank i find your outlook on guitar rather frustrating.
there is nothing worse for a person with creative potential than benchmarking his own performance by the works of others. not only does it pigeonhole you in a particular style but it impinges upon your own means of personal growth and discovery. for me, playing guitar is an inwardly expository experience, i cannot imagine what it would be like to entrench myself in seeking some external guide for self-improvement.
if you feel like there is some stratified scale to developing your guitar skills, you can never know enough, and you can never be good enough. rather, understand that music is a constant process of discovery and self-exploration and that your performance should be uninhibited by external evaluation.
