If all you can do is play the intros to those songs, or just the first 2 1/2 minutes of the song, or just parts of them -- then I'm sorry to tell you -- you CAN'T actually say that you play any of those songs.

Being able to play a song means playing not just the intro, and not just the guitar solo, but the WHOLE SONG, including the rhythm guitar part (with all the correct chords) to back up the singer. If you can sing the song while you accompany yourself, or play the rhythm guitar backup while someone else sings it, then you can say you know it. Otherwise, YOU DON'T.

Think of it this way -- if you got invited to sit in on a jam session, and the group decides to play "Crazy Train" -- you play the intro.....and then what? The rest of the group goes into the song itself with somebody singing it and everyone else playing along.....and there you are standing there with no clue what to play next! Because you don't know the song! And if all the other songs on your list are like that, then you really don't know how to play any of them. No wonder your friend says you suck at guitar. You're not an intermediate level player yet; you're still very much a beginner.

Before you waste any more time half-assedly learning intros and parts of more songs, why not take the time to actually finish learning the songs you've started working on??
