Recording Guitar While Tripping

Alright, so I've been playing guitar for about 5-6 years now. I'm no expert, but I can play some fairly technical stuff and I enjoy exploring experimental/improv forms of music.
My idea is to try and play music throughout the duration of a trip, record all of it, and edit later on to see what I can make.
Has anyone tried doing this? Was it successful?
I think the idea is really cool. Let me know what you guys think.

Never recorded tripping + Guitar but i like the idea and would like to do it myself someday. I have found improvisation levels go through the roof when tripping and you can push some limits especially if your a newer player it helps 'break in' the fingers due to the tolerance of pain.
I'm interested in hearing this please post!

haha I'm not sure when I'm going to trip next but I have some good ol' Lucy that I want to try this with 
but yeah, I'm interested to see how it goes as well because I feel as if my guitar skills as far as chords, rhythm, scales, etc is somewhat limited. I never studied in music theory and I don't learn many songs, so I just focus on my own "style"
I'm hoping to expand my creativity overall and create some new tunes that I don't play normally.
Anyways, I was fucking around with a friend on my last shroom trip and this is what came out Not professional in any way, but I find it kind of funny to listen to aha
^ a more serious track after crying on shrooms aha Edit: I just found some joke tracks me and a buddy made when we were tripping. I should say that's is absolutely hilarious to just try and out-stupid eachother I can upload some of those tracks if you want... it's a genre called not-music. It's where you attempt to make music and do the opposite, and make madness

Once me and my best friend/guitarist in my band of 8 years did like a 3 hour nonstop freeflow improvisational jam while tripping balls on acid.... it was some of the most epic, melodic, intense shit we ever wrote.. we were slappping ourselves for months for not recording it.. as we could barely remember a damn thing afterwards.

haha damn that sounds about right though. Sounds like a good ass time though, I wish I had bandmates who were interested in tripping.
I only have 2-3 friends that play instruments who would trip with me. And we all play guitar so it's meh. Though my cousin is a master musician of 15+ years on multiple instruments so I might trip with him soon and jam some guitar + his keyboard/synth and drum loops... should be pretty interesting
Have you ever jammed while tripping with friends or w/e and purposely made goofy/weird music just for giggles? A couple months ago... after an intense peak with 2 friends being nearly silent the whole time, we jammed for a good 3-4 hours on the comedown and played the most goofy, weird, and non-sensible music possible. We couldn't stop laughing for hours because of our genre idea of "not music". Pretty funny stuff aha

it's always worth a shot! Like I said, I don't consider myself an expert whatsoever but it's cool just to fuck around and see what I can make.
in almost all my shroom experiences of the past 2-3 months, I had NO desire to play guitar through the peak... but playing guitar on the comedown was wild. Your creativity shoots through the roof.
In my 1g Penis Envy trip report, my buddy and I jammed guitar in total darkness and were able to create ridiculously awesome sounding stuff that we've never played before. It's like the sounds become more attuned and they guide your hands to the right positions... just my experience

part of me is a little apprehensive about doing this... a lot of what I play has a sort of "sad" vibe to it.... I wonder if that will put me in a bad mood. Should I just play whatever the hell comes to mind or should I try to keep it "happy" sounding?
I'd imagine that I'd probably start analyzing myself as a sad person if I start playing sad stuff aha

haha I'll keep that in mind Maybe I can try to film myself playing when I'm tripping for you shroomerites!
Only problem with this is that I can't record while hearing my amp at the same time... so I have to fiddle with my amp settings to find what I like and THEN record it by plugging my amp into my PC... so then I can't hear the amp anymore.... so that's kind of a buzzkill

Yeah, sounds like a hassle sober. Tripping would be impossible! I tried recording myself today but my phones audio sucks. Might be from dirt and dust but I don't know. Anyhow, good luck! If I could play I'd definitely do it! Haha. I need some wxperience under my belt first.

yeah phones aren't too great for recording guitar I'd recommend picking up your guitar and fiddling around with it when you're tripping though! You may discover the intricacies and inner workings of guitar beings
and thank you! I'll definitely post here or in a new thread when all is complete

I've got hours of recordings from mushroom trips. Layers of guitars. Playing with many sound simulations. It is all very loose and awash. Listened to those recordings for some years.

Did you run into any difficulties while recording? Just wondering because I can see myself having trouble focusing and/or getting distracted by random things

My advice is don't have great expectations for this. You will be tripping.
It could/should still be a good experience though so by all means give it a go! I've only played music tripping a couple of times and the last was about a year ago, maybe a bit more. It was, great! I improvised over the chord changes to a jazz tune (All The Things You Are) for like a solid 20 mins I reckon felt fantastic, who knows how it sounded. Probably had some really interesting bits though I'd think.
Oh yeah and that was on a low dose mushroom trip.
I'll have to give this more experimentation too, thanks for the reminder

Yeah plenty of getting too fucked up to use the gear and being distracted, there was a phase where everything just worked perfectly every night. I can completely lose all guitar abilities on weed.

Haha, alright so I know my plan was to record guitar throughout my hours of tripping... however, I managed to only record for minute and 30 seconds... (sad right?)
Let me know what you guys think about that, I'd like to develop it into something more complete and solid.

I've recorded a good bit on acid and some on DMT.
Playing guitar is much more precise and melodic/rhythmic while tripping.
