20 years of guitar
17 bass
dabbled in percussion for many years (still cannot play a shaker for shit), banjo, keys, violin, harmonica
I've played in funk, country, blues, soul, rock, bluegrass, reggae, samba, jazz, punk, and probably some other types of bands I can't recall right now. Musical omnivore.
At one point I tried to transition over to music as my sole income, but didn't end up as stoked to get home and pick up an instrument to just play for the fun of it when I was rehearsing, gigging, recording, teaching, or learning songs for other projects 7 days a week. I enjoy music far more if I'm free to explore it largely on my own terms when inspiration strikes.
If I could start over I would play violin, B3 (keys), sax or trumpet. Bass is ridiculously fun though! Piano is probably the most versatile instrument you can play.
