I've been playing guitar for 2 1/2 years (so I can play bass too), I've had singing lessons for more than a year, and I recently taught myself how to play organ/piano. And I can sort of play harmonica.
When composing my own music, I usually play with my own alternate tunings, after realising the possibilities of alternate tunings.
I usually use tab (like most people seem to), but I can sort of read musical notation.

This reads like something I'd post when I first joined the forum.

I don't consider myself a guitarist per se just because I lack a ton of knowledge and it sounds cooler to say I destroy guitars one note at a time.

Keyboards, piano, recorder and the guitar a bit. The only instruments that I have been practising for 15 years are the keyboards and the recorder. I like playing the harmonica too and I can write a song as conventionally as you like, even if it's a shit one. I am not by any stretch of the imagination a virtuoso like some of you boys and girls, but I am fine with what I do. On the other hand, I would really like to improve my singing. There aren't many good singers anymore. I am also good (or so I'm told) at creating and working on sound sources that are not necessarily for musical purposes (i.e. radio jingles, field recordings etc).

I've had guitars for about three years now, but can't play for fuck. I have no Idea what chords I'm playing, no ear for notes, no motoric skills to play the notes properly and not a clue about music theory.

Guitar is more of a toy to dabble around with. I might get a keyboard soon though.

I played clarinet since the 4th grade. I stopped in mid high school. I've been playing guitar for about 2 yrs now.

Do you even know what sight-reading is?

Sight reading isn't hard at all if you can read music. I remember concert band from high school; we used to go to competitions. There was a sight-reading part where the entire band went into a room with a judge and were given a random piece of music to sight-read. We were pretty good.

I mean, yeah, sight-reading is hard if the piece is insanely difficult (black notes up the ass) but even so, one can still tell tell what the notes, rhytms, time signatures, etc are (i.e., read it). It's just a matter of getting your brain to tell your fingers and/or mouth to do what you see on the page; But one can still read the piece, just not do it physically right off the start.

Sorry if this post sounded a bit harsh. I didn't notice until just reading it. Just trying to say that sight-reading isn't as hard as you make it out to be, atari.

selftaught piano. i'm pretty good i think

alto saxophone. i've been playing for 7 years now but i'm stuck at a very intermediate level. that's how i learned how to read sheet music though.

tap dance for 8 years. i know this isn't an instruemtn, but i make music with my feet, and it's probably what i'm best at. i guess you could say it's percussion

It takes serious talent to tap dance, so hat off to you for that. On the subject of unusual talents, I think that whistling well is even more difficult than singing well.

yes, yes it does. it's a 4 string guitar is all... and in this day and age, pretty obsolete to be honest.. 1,000 leaves is a perfect example.
