I do classical piano by trade (major in college.) I have also played various videogame and pop/rock covers.

My proudest achievement so far in piano is the following:

I was quite good playing piano (actually it was a keyboard) but I stoped because I got frustrated (the songs I played needed more keys that my keyboard have :( ) and I can't afford a big one (with more keys). Now I started to play guitar and soon I will recive a ukulele :).

Buying sheet music is hell. 9999 million per note, buy one quaver, get another free. Got distinction on grade 1 jazz sax, going for grade 4 guitar soon.

If what made you think you were really good at piano was because you were better than other people, then you were (or are) because you are really good at piano compared to them.

Since December last year I've been learning to play guitar. I'm not great at it yet, but I enjoy it and I'm continuing to improve.
