Briton's got talent

I've been having something of crisis of confidence as regards my musical abilities since I returned from the Cambridge Folk Festival earlier in the week.  The problem is I come away infused with resolve to master my instrument, the guitar.  However, as soon as I get one in the hands, the vide between my desires and my abilities opens up to remind me I'm not going to be the new Richard Thompson any time soon.

Don't get me wrong: I am a decent musician, just not a great one.  And that hurts when you esteem music and musicianship as much as I do.  I'm like Salieri, me.  Tosser.
