Guitar mainly, but I can play any of the typical instruments associated with rock/metal.

My favourite thing about the guitar is all the expressive ways you can play a single note. There's the spectrum of how hard you pick it along with what you use to pick - fingers or plectrum, what angle you attack the string with said pick, vibrato, bend up to the note or down from it, slide into or out of it, etc...

It's such an expressive instrument. I love it. You can really hear someone's personality come out in their playing. There truly are endless different ways to play a single song. It all just depends on the choices you make.
