Answer 1

I know this seems cheesy but nothing in life worth having comes easy. You have a computer, so try to find downloads of instrument sounds to manipulate.

Answer 2

You ARE a great guitar player, but if you honestly think your not good get a youtube account get feedback and that will help you get better. Hope this helps!!!

Answer 3

if you really love to play, then don't quit. just ask yourself this- would you rather make money doing some boring job or be poor and enjoy your work? the choice is yours, but sometimes doing what you love isn't always easy

Answer 4

Not good enough for what?  

If you want a pro career, it's difficult to achieve no matter what your financial situation or location.  Plenty of people here in the US in Hollywood are starving as well trying to make it.  A professional career mostly requires a lot of luck and a lot of good contacts.  If you have to be a pro musician, you're just going to have to starve until you can catch a lucky break.

If you just want to enjoy playing, you can do that at any level.  You can record your own music on your computer and post it for everyone's enjoyment on the internet.  You can find people to play with and help improve their skills until they're at a level you're happy with.  Or you can just play to family and friends and gain the notoriety of being the neighborhood musician.  

There are rewards at every level.

You just have to decide what you want and work for it.
