Well since Willtbast made a topic on Languages, this topic is pretty much the same, except replace languages with musical instruments.

I play:

Keyboard - Quite well
Violin - Really well (1st Instrument)
Viola - Really well (Main instrument)
Cello - Average (Just started learning)

TK, Willtbast was mine.

Acoustic Guitar: Very good at.
Electric Guitar: Pretty good, but not yet as good as acoustic.
Drums: Ehhh, it's okay...
Keyboard: I'm okay at that as well.

I'm planning on taking more instrument lessons in the future.

hmm only one instrument for me and that is:

Piano- been playing it for 8 years, and am taking my grade 8 exam in 3 weeks.  Once I pass grade 8 i'm stopping and hopefully taking up the guitar.

Alright...  Uh, I think I've mentioned this some where...  But I do play some guitar.  I dabble...

Anyways, songs I enjoy playing: Stairway to Heaven, Sweet Child of Mine, some Esteban in general, basically any AC/DC song, Fade To Black, One, Orion, and really anything put in front of me or whatever I make up.

Songs I would know if I put my mind to it and wasn't so freaking lazy:  Eruption solo, classical gas, some jimi hendrix (way to lazy), people keep asking me to learn John Mayer (don't have any of the cd's though), and thas about all I can summarize with. 

But like I said, put something in front of me and I can probably play it.  Lots of good guitar training.

(And I played a trombone I call Sparticus from middle school up to present in band...)

Guitar (Both Electric and Acoustic) : Almost 3 years
Drums: Not Long
Trumpet: 4 Years

Depends what you consider to be good. I think I'm OK at guitar, where as many people tell me I am very good. Much like Shaz, there is so much out there that I could be learning, but when It comes to complicated stuff, I am much too lazy.

Drums I've been playing for less than 6 months, and I think I'm decent.

Trumpet, I took in school because I was not allowed to take guitar or drums as my instrument. Oh well, got pretty good on it. Haven't played in almost a year though, so I probably suck now.

I wish I could learn the steel drum

Watch the language on here, Hashi.

And yeah, piano can get out of your hands if you don't really practice. I play every day, but I play for fun. I can really only play 1/3 (approximately 5 mins) of Fur Elise (Beethoven), but I end up adding a bit of me into it and start giving the tempo something with a little more up-beat personality. :P

Once upon a time, I played the trumpet fairly well. But it has been many years.

I can play "Greensleves" and the solo to "Uncle John's Band" on the guitar.
