Default Re: as much ... as ...
He played the guitar, as I played the piano. (two meanings: at the same time and also)

There's another possible meaning there. It could mean "because". Both of them play the guitar and the piano. One played the piano because the other one played the guitar. The context determines the meaning. There are always possibilities.
