I am so good at breaking things you don't even know. I even do it on accident.
For instance, I just broke a chest of drawers that belonged to my grandfather. SO SKILLED

Maybe you should post what song that is to show that it was an accomplishment, because I'm sure everyone will not know what song that is and by who, I sure don't.Blights said:
As for me, I consider myself a skilled musician that has nothing to show for it. The main reason for this is because I never practice songs in their entirety. I learn maybe most of it but I never practice it enough to be able to play the whole damn thing.
Therefore by doing this I have become quite skilled in guitar by being able to play almost any rhythm guitar but I can't show it off because I don't have any good "show-off" riffs. I can't solo yet either, and I mean the real, fast, hard solos.
"Somebody to Love" by Queen on the piano. That part is amazing, and I never thought I could learn it up to speed!! 
Not musical as such, but... what is the sound of one hand clapping?
I can tell you. By clapping with one hand. I sorta get my fingers to hit the base of my palm at a high speed, which can be repeated fairly quickly to clap along with any rhythm, potentially even using both hands (but separately). I have yet to meet anyone who can do this.
Sorta itches if you do it for too long, though.

I played the trumpet for a year, I wasn't very good but that's about the only musical thing I've done.
Well, I also sang Karaoke at my school's dance, I was one of the only ones who sang solo and I was considered to be the best.

Flight of the Bumblebees on Piano.
It's really hard... and your fingers start to hurt if you practice it too much.

I can play the entire album of the rage against machine on my guitar bar some of the of the solos because you need a killswich and I'm not prepared to mutilate my guitar for it

Learned the opening solo to Hey Jude for The Beatles Field Show (I was first year in Marching Band).
Well, it was an easy solo, but I had to learn it in 15 minutes for the Homecoming Game, cuz the guy who normally plays it (My section leader) was missing for some stupid reason. Anyways, 15 minutes later, I had it down, and played it awesome, much to everyone's surprise.
I've never felt more proud than that night.

I have been playing guitar, piano, and singing for years, but what is most interesting is that i taught myself how to beat box just about a year ago. I don't remember ever learning how, but suddenly I went to college and (to my surprise) people kept telling me that I was really good.
