I play the piano pretty well, and I can fake on a bass when someone needs it.

Occasionally, I get to thinking that the piano is a superior instrument to the guitar, due to the ease of both playing a good groove (Canteloupe Island) as well as the ease of playing massively fast (Fantasie Impromptu), but then I throw on some Vai, Satch, Malmsteen, etc. and realize that you can fake most piano things on the guitar, but you just can't emulate a lot of guitar-specific tones and moves on a piano.
