Anybody here play a 2nd instrument?

Drums were my first instrument and I’m still probably a better drummer than guitar player. My focus shifted to guitar after I got into songwriting. Now I play guitar almost everyday, but my drum chops have gone to shit. The upside is I never need to ask someone to program drum parts for my music.

I'm on month 8 of trumpet/cornet/flugelhorn. It's improving my ears and is a nice break from many hours of guitar every day. Hoping to one day be able to rip some jazz leads on my Conn (many years away right now, lol). :yes:

I think a 2nd instrument does a player good. I was gonna pick up Chromatic harmonica but all those scale forms plus blow/draw memorization....too much headache. I figured a woodwind/brasswind would give me motivation to not smoke cigs anymore. I played a little alto/tenor sax during college but didn't take it seriously enough. Trumpet works good as a side instrument because you can't just jump in and put 3 hours a day into it. You gotta build embouchure strength.

Anybody?

I’m pretty good with Piano, love the independent hand coordination from classical and jazz, though guitar is my forte…
