I've read lots of threads here and one thing I notice is that a lot of us apologize for our playing. Especially when someone has posted a song they've recorded and shared here with the rest of us. Why do we do that?

When I ask someone to play something for me I don't care how good they are or how advanced they are in their technique...I don't even mention anything about it, yet everyone I have asked will almost always apologize for their playing. I listen to appreciate the state of the art and I still grab any kind of knowledge from them that they can offer...even if they're novices. Who cares? At least they're playing. No one should ever have to apologize for their playing ability I think. Maybe it's cause as humans we're very competitive and self conscious.

What do you guys think?
