In my dreams I have been in a successful band for decades and command enormous respect among a huge fan base. In reality I dont amount to much really.. 
I did used to play the drums, but like with most things in my life I am unable to comit to anything or focus on anything. As a consequence I never seriously developed my playing style and never really made sufficient time to concentrate on the bands I was in.
My advice to anyone under 25 who plays an instrument: Kick some f***ing arse!!! Never give up. Never take your eyes off the ball. Dont smoke dope. Never allow yourself to be in a position where you are looking back at your life wishing you had done just about everything differently, and NEVER put anything off until tomorrow. Seize the day!

Yup - play guitar, bass and a bit of keys. I write and produce my own albums for friends and family, everything from rock, prog, ambient, folk, experimental. A right old mishmash of styles and influences, which mercifully I do not infilct on the outside world, but keeps me happy into middle age

I can play the guitar, learned about a thousand years ago. I also can play AT the piano. Thank God for Virtual Instruments, cuz I can write music - I just can't play my own compositions.
Much like Blacksword, I started on Drums, even played in a number of bands in the 70's. Joined the Army, didn't practice, can't play worth a crap. I do have a good ear & can usually figure stuff out easily - just can't play it.

Yes. Keyboards.
Plus I try to write my own stuff, so it helps that I can kinda fool around on the bass, but even less so on the guitar.
Luckily, getting a workstation is extremely helpful, but if you're not up for that, get a smaller controller and set your system up on a Mac or something.
Oh, the wonderful world of keybords.

I've played the guitar for four years now, but I'm really no good.
I play bass in a small band and I'm going to buy an electric piano this month.

Hopefully we should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is retained and used.
