I've heard it said that pedal steel players work out arrangements to songs and don't wander from them. Now that was talking about country... Do you improvise choruses in jazz? Chords and all?

Bass and a little bit of piano

Started out on Sax and still gig with my tenor. I also play flute and clarinet which, of course, is a common extension of playing the sax. I can play recorder and Irish whistle. )I respectfully submit that Irish whistle is a real instrument and should be recognized as such despite the low price.)
I also do a little mandolin and have fooled around with bluegrass banjo very briefly.

I'm not at Rob Mackillop's level (who is?), but mandolin, bass, tenor banjo, and baritone uke (the last is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar, so maybe a cheater). I strive to play a mandocello . . . someday.

Nice work Rob.
-
I think most musicians just like to mess around with whatever they can get their hands on. If it makes a sound, I'm in.

I quite often play the fool like John Lennon.

I like to noodle on the piano. For some reason noodling on the piano sounds much more musical, to my ears, than noodling on the guitar.
