I've seen pictures of him holding a guitar, but never heard whether he could play or not. Hmmm.

Cool. If he does play, I'm guessing it's nothing too skilled. Probably why we've never heard him profess to being a guitar player :)

Answer 5

As per Wiki....

Harmonica
Tambourine
Guitar

He was not much of an instrument man.

I was fortunate enough to have seen Led Zeppelin at their pinnacle in 1977. During The Battle of Evermore the members all assembled on four stools and played acoustics.

Answer 6

According to ask the experts on about.com; he plays acoustic guitar on Battle of Evermore. He also played guitar on Boogie With Stu.
I've seen him play piano.
On Youtube; If still available; there's a video of Robert playing lead guitar on Anniversary song.
