Started out on  synth /piano. Went to guitar as a second instrument. I have been doing from 1 to 2 hours on guitar every night and I think I'm getting the hang of it pretty well. I can play bass in a pinch. I'm sure not as well as a dedicated bass player.... no where near. I'm no drummer,don't let me anywhere near a set of drums.

 I am supposed to be trying out for lead guitarist in a band this weekend. I can play lead to the tracks they sent me so we'll see........I want to get better at it and the only way is to play it regularly. I guess if it doesn't work out I'll go out the same door I came in and keep playing. I figure that another year or two doing at least an hour practice and I should be getting something right.

 

Primarily guitar though I'm equally mediocre on several instruments (keys, bass, drums, cowbell, etc.).  I avoid singing, but I do voice-overs for speaking.

As far as I'm concerned, loop recording is the greatest ability in a DAW.  I'm not proficient enough at anything to do takes right the first time so I record several attempts and use the best.  Needless to say, this doesn't lend itself to playing live (which I haven't done since the early 80's).

Guitar for the last 50 years.

Wish I could play better keyboards and drums though ! (And guitar.......)

Cheers,
Jerry

Guitar although I wish I was better (don't we all?)

I can fool most people into thinking I can play piano but a real pianist would suss me. I love beating on drums  but my steady rhythm all goes to pot at the first sign of a roll.

Wish I was better at all of them.

Ah - so you're a Rocker then Karl. 

Has the one-string banjo been mentioned yet?

I can't be arsed to read every page.

Didn't we do this before?

My brain. The acoustic guitar mostly. I've been trying to learn keyboards and synths. I've been taking a break lately. Burn out syndrome. I've learned so much in the last five years using Sonar and all the new instruments and techniques. It's always on my mind. Since I compose everything in my head, I have to say my brain. It all starts with a poem-lyric and then make the music work for it. Lately I've been playing the sander and the trowel in the home improvement one man band. Lol
So we change and so we grow.

Do you write songs after sax too?

(I know - too easy, but I'm tired and don't want to use all the braincells required to be witty... )

Except the new dog howls if I play my sax.  It's funny, yeah, but hard to ignore. 

Call it double trackin'. No one will notice.

Sax is the next instrument on my list.  Hoping sax won't be a long learn for me with 30 years of piano.  I'll probably suck ; )

Yeah, sucking only works on harmonica.
 
Guitar and keyboards.

Guitar but I play pretty good drums with my teeth if I drink enough coffee.
