Play Bass. Haven't picked up one in a couple of years . Use to have a late 70's Rickenbacker 4001 had to sell it.
My day job. Principal viola of a Canadian orchestra.
But I still love playing guitar. When I get stuck on a particularly treacherous viola passage, I often pick up an acoustic guitar and sing a Kinks or Beatles cover (or an original).
I actually got a SOCAN royalty check for airplay of this song I wrote for the old band.

I can play at least 2 chords, maybe 3 on the guitar. And no one can play a boring blues lick like me on the guitar!
I do a bit better on the electric bass.
Children run home crying to their mother's if I sing - it ain't pretty.

Here is my hero, the Crown Prince of Punk, Prince Igor Stravinsky, talking about the famous eight note chord (E flat major 7, with an E Major chord under it), with only rhythmic accents as "melody", and which caused the famous riot at its premiere in 1913.
Only 2 chords. Played at the same time.
I must modestly confess that I have been called "the best blues kazooist in the Midwest," however this was by people who had never heard any blues kazooist ever before in their lives. I also play harmonica, the stoneware bass (musical jug), and I dabble in playing various members of the ukulele family.[/Q
