Good stuff guys... there is no such thing as suck, if you play an instrument..only levels of knowledge.. Kilobit is learning guitar now and its killing his fingers..but he must keep going... he'll be glad he did...
still funny listening to him bitch......:clap:
When I play smoke only.. when I had a pin prob. I was in a working band and thats what helped me quit... Being a drummer, alcohol doesn't help either.........

I play bass, I'm still learning but I find it sounds much better when I'm high and feels more comfortable... though I'm probably much worse

guitarist here. i can improvise some awesome stuff when i'm baked, and also when mildly drunk. however, i cant play rhythm for turds and when i try playing something written, i think too hard about it and my fingers work slower than my brain and it sounds gummy.

yeah man, that's how it is with me sometimes. only really fast shit though. like the bass solo in Maxwell Murder-Rancid, I know how to play it, but my fingers get all fucked up and it doesnt really sound like anything good.

I think being high gives me more patience to learn new stuff. When I learn new stuff now matter what it is, I can tell I grow a bit..like my lil plant... So when I play high I think I over analyze sometimes and think I suck.

Though, when drunkend I think I totally rock out like arena style and almost on the verge of "new" things....hahaha

When I'm stoned and drunk I think...Well, you've got great vibrato and can scale with the best. Speed and more speed... passion and feel, you got some bluesy edges that work, but oh yeah....you still totally suck.
HAHA this is a great thread.

I dunno if I play better, but I certainly enjoy it more. I feel like I get more creative, different beats just come to my head. Sometimes I find it improves my skills, I play drums with headphones on and just play to songs and sometimes when I'm high I feel like I can hear it better and I understand the rhythm better.

I have my degree in music education and when I was going to school we used to have to practice for like 2 hours at night. Well we didn't have to but those that wanted to be good did. So what we would do is go have a bite to eat at the local pub and have some beers and then go practice and we always seemed to play better. I think smoking is about the same. You just relax more and your mind opens up more to be able to interpret everything you are usually concentrating on. It's kind of like the book "The Inner Game of Tennis". I'd recommend anyone who's really into playing great music to read that to give you some insight on what your brain goes through when really concentrating. Yeah the book is about tennis but it really applies to golf, playing music, so on and so forth.

I play guitar. I've been playing for almost 3 years and I'm primarily lead player and mostly all I do is improvise. but I've been expanding my technique to rhythm so I can compose more songs easily.

for me, when I play, it's about just playing, never practice. I got really good in a short amount of time by this philosophy.

now I'm just wandering around looking for inspiration, everywhere.
