I play guitar and I'm pretty good on bass also. I've played gigs for the last 5 years with high school friends, but now that I'm in graduate school upstate and they are still in NYC, we don't play together as often.
I write and perform my own stuff, but I can also play the hell out of Comfortably Numb, well it was good enough that Threefates didn't want to strangle me. Don't attempt any ELP around her though, well atleast not anything that requires vocals. She can get violent.

When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all.

That's pretty much my musical ability. I can make something that sounds a lot like real music, but I'm also perceptive enough to realize that the higher spark of real instrumental or songcrafting gifts weren't given to me. Still, I do love messing around with my guitar, bass, keys and programming. With PC tools like Cubase and Sonar, it becomes very much like the most open-ended video game ever created.

Exactly the way I see my Hammond & synth playing, sir - I'm slowly getting better though, thanks to my teacher - but the question remains, do you enjoy doing it? If so, that is all that matters!

And I've been told I'm quite the expert at it... even written a few rock operas of my own...
