    Electric bass to a reasonable standard. Mostly fingerstyle stuff, with some slap.

    Keyboards. Synthesizers and rock organ. Not great, but good enough to have fun. Deep Purple and Floyd mostly. Terrible left hand base line but my right hand is like lightning.

    Tuba in the school band...
    Classical piano, trumpet, flute, and a little, very very small bit of string music/instrument

    guitar(acoustic, that I got free from my grandma's attic not like I'm gonna buy an electric or an amp)
    and I'm pretty good on the harmonica, but only have a C, so playing stuff in A sounds kinda strange, but who cares.
    And when I jam with friends I got pretty low pipes so I do some JLH "boom boom, haw haw" stuff.

    Harmonica

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Guitars. Acoustic and electric ones. Bass too. Got all rusty now, left hand has the elegance of a sledge hammer, but my right hand is faster then lightning too.

    And I don’t have to tell it “I love you” or anything…

    trumpet and keyboard. But the keyboard is just to mess around with chord structure and make techno (most of which is done on the computer).
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

    Electric and acoustic guitar though lately i dont have much time. My bro is sound engineer so we collectively have 8 guitars (1 classic, 2 acoustic, 5 electrics) and 2 big amplifiers, along with midi keyboards and many effects and pedals. If we continue like this we will have to leave the room to the instruments. Basically I play metal but also alot of rock-hard rock stuff. My bro is also very fond of nu-metal stuff, Im more old fashioned.

    A bit of guitar and keyboard. Just playing for fun and sing-alongs though.

    Since RTW my right hand also becomes "lightning" as well. click/rightclick
