Drums. In my prime, maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10. I feel like I could still play at a 5 level despite not playing for 10+ years.

I do wish I could play something that can carry its own tune.

I'm good enough at guitar to know I'm not very good, but if you give me a song to learn, I can pick it up fairly quickly and plunk along. Once upon a time I knew a lot more songs, but years of not playing very much have left me rusty. When I was in college I used to check out the Hal Leonard Beatles Complete Scores from the library as often as possible and learned quite a bit from that, but I wish I'd kept up with it since then.

Lately I also like to attempt to learn fairly easy stuff on the piano (Let it Beeeee, let it beeeeee). I'd like to get to a point on there where I can find chords quickly just like on guitar, but my fingers keep fighting my brain. I just need to keep working at it.

Eventually I hope this thread can yield what GRB has been missing for over a decade now: a theme song.
