making music on shrooms?

Does anyone here play guitar or bass? Do you think that writing guitar music is easier whilst tripping on shrooms? I haven't really tried to write stuff when tripping yet, but it could be interesting. any thoughts?

My thoughts are this: you dont get any better at making music in the constructive sense, but you're creativity might help you make the most randomn creative music. I have an electric... when I get an acostic guitar I'm gonna try to go tripping and play music. Alot of people have mentioned playing guitar while tripping, so its probably pretty cool.

I am like 100 times better at guitar when im tripping. Every movement becomes so natural... Well every drug make me better at playing and more understanding of the music, especially meth amphetamine unfortunately... Of course it is interesting to compose...And you can write really fucked up stuff. My garage band and I realized, that almost every song we kept because they were good enough were written written on drugs. If tripping and writing music didnt make a good match bands like pink floyd in the 70s certainly wouldnt have been that good ;p

I am a guitarist/musician and find drugs like marijuana, LSA, and a couple others DEFINTELY influence the creative process. I think I made a post about this awhile ago.

I play bass, so i bought an acoustic bass for times when i'm campin or trippin on the beach. I don't know if the music i makes actually sounds good to sober people. But when I'm trippin i can go insane, i feel like the most creative player EVER!
-------------------- Go through the orange yesterday I watched intently for a while to both sides, infront of me and behind me. I was impressed to learn there was another way to look... UP! More impressive still was the fact that there were beautiful stars in this direction Most amazing fact of all was the prospect of another direction when I was done with up. DOWN! Which, based on the feel through my toes would be a fine sandy beach!

Jesus christ, I (too) play countless times better while tripping...I play the guitar. Shrooms in particular. My whole understanding of music, scales and such expands rapidly, I simply understand and know music theory in a way that I am not able to keep track of normally. On shrooms I feel particuarlly inspired, more so than LSD or others. It becomes a serios religous experience...I feel like I'm playing for the gods and my true inner self. The better I play, the harder I participate in this rock and roll god worship, the more I'm rewarded. I'll make an effort and hit a certain point of goodness and then be blasted up a notch, like it's a gift from above. Then I have to take that latest playing ability and try to max it out for thext step. It's intense. I've seen my 'shadow', 'double', 'other' while playing guitar on shrooms before...I have the sensation of being in two places at once, looking down on myself. From my normal perspective, I look over and see my and my friend on drums' shadow selfs. Twice our size and black, they are rocking out with us..we've become one with our spirit selfs, our whole being is focus on the music. I'm still trying to get back to that experience, the first time I played music on shrooms, on 1/8th + syrian rue. It completely changed my life, really. I realized that I can be satisfied to a degree that I was completely unaware of before. That I can participate in spirituality directly, and I can do it the exact way I want to..rocking the hell out of my guitar. It was such a profound experience that I generally consider this to be my purpose in life. Like I planned this out for myself..putting myself back into this plane so that I can discover this and enjoy the hell out of it.

Hows it goin? My experirnces with drugs and instruments: Guitar: Fun to play on a light mushroom trip, especially with a classical guitar. Confusing and odd feeling while trippin crazy balls. Great on acid and pot. Unfortunatley, the white stuff is best for writing songs. Drum kit: Every time ( except when I ate only a gram )I've tried on shrooms it was as hard as all hell. The best I've ever played in my life was on microdots, pot also helps quite a bit. Hand Drums: Defintetly the easiest to play while trippin, and almost any one can play them! A Djembe is the best, it sounds ultra-sweet. I also played a trumpet once while trippin, it was not enjoyable.

I wrote a beautiful piano piece, very rhythmic and driving, on shrooms. It my head I was calling it "my song of life" or something like that, it sounds like the soundtrack to my life's story, if that makes sense. Epic and flowing. I am really stoked on it.
Incidentally, I wrote a song on adderall that is going to be in a commmercial now

Hey, I'd like to hear your "life theme song", I always get the feeling that whatever I'm listening to on a strong trip is like the theme song to life, it's a really neat feeling..
Anyway, I play guitar and sing, and write songs. I've written a very decent song after almost every trip I've had so far. I don't write DURING the trip, I usually write the day after the trip.

Since I make synthesized music, its incredibly difficult to work with these programs and synths while tripping.....
I can see how a really good keyboard or guitar-player would have a blast just jamming while on psychedelic substances, but unfortunately it doesn't really work that way for synthesizers because they're not as "connected" to you as a "conventional" instrument
-------------------- Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me. In addition: SHPONGLE

One of my best songs on the guitar (well the one that doesnt suck as much as the rest in my opinion) was written on adderall. But I don't got no commercial deal yet.
