They have these things called midi guitars now. You don't need keyboard fluency. Hell, now a days you don't need any instrument other than a novation launchpad (a button grid). However, if you are going for a music degree, you should be able to know what the difference between a dorian and mixolydian scale. You should know that there's 7 different ways to play a D major on the guitar. You should know how to do pentatonic scales in any key as well as blues harmonic scales. Any guitarist who wants to play professionally needs to know this. Whether they are a rhythm guitarist, a soloist, a satanist, or a folk strummer. It's not just about being "gud", but knowing how to construct a solo, using those scales, in the songs key. That is very VERY much required. If you are interested in pursuing music as a degree then these things are table stakes. It's taught in high school. Go brush up.
