I thought about this some more… and I think I have a better answer to what you were asking.

I felt like I could play guitar when I could play the chords to some of my favorite songs.

I started playing guitar around the time Coldplay’s first album “Parachutes” came out. That album has some unique chord shapes and tunings. I felt like I could play guitar when I was able to learn some of those songs. And no, I couldn’t play them at 100% speed or without stopping and starting, but I felt like I could play guitar if I could recreate the sounds of my favorite songs.

I do hear you about feeling like you can play when you’re able to just sit down “at a campfire” and play a few songs….

I think you’re closer than you think. I don’t feel like I ever give myself the opportunity to learn full songs. But this can be done with a little extra effort. Heck, there are a million songs out there that just use a few chords.
