I've only messed with turntables before (as in mixing vinyl records). I was so... I guess, amazed by the complexity that I could turn a record and the sound would come out a speaker because of a needle going across the vinyl. Anyway, it probably would've sounded pretty pointless to anyone listening in, I was just exploring controling the sound produced. As far as DJ mixing goes, they say acid is responsible for some of the best and some of the worst mixes (same sentiment would go for mushrooms I suppose).
Lots of people play guitar while tripping, I'd imagine a lot depends on the amount you've taken.

The sitar.
The sympathetic strings give me some kind of vibration and it resonnates all across the room. This instrument is magical.

I play the bass and whenever I try to play while tripping, I dont even know where to begin. Its like a completely foreign object. I mean, Im really not that great anyways, but I know how to play and I can play, but put shrooms into the mix and its pointless.

First time I did acid (first trip ever), I tried to play guitar. I couldn't even tune it. I liked the sound of the distortion, but the notes felt like they were running away from me. I kinda got flustered, and gave it to a more-or-less sober (pot and beer) friend. It felt like I'd forgotten how to play it completely. I'd already been playing guitar for ten years at that point!
I've never attempted playing while tripping since. I usually find myself somewhere away from my instrument, anyways. Like at a friend's house or outside. I'd like to try drumming while tripping, though. I think it would help with four-limb independence and stuff.

all i usually do when tripping is sit on my throne and jam for several hours straight,if I'm not camping/hiking. My neighbors hate me with a passion. I think that musicians of any sort can put themselves into a trance just by playing from the heart for extended periods of time. Add a chemical in the mix..ZING!
I know yageman can vouch for that! where ye be?

what type of strings? I love being a percussionist but i secretly envy those who can play cello. Its probably one of my favorites. It can pull off some of the most haunting, and enchanting ear candy.
come on guys! lets hear it. what do you all play?

Maybe. Or all four limbs could end up playing in different tempi and time signatures
I brought my native American flute with my on my first mushroom trip, but didn't feel like playing it. Same thing with my guitar on another trip, but there were other circumstances, I guess you could say.
I'd love to play my drums when tripping though. I've never really felt a connection with strings or wind instruments, even though they're fun to play. The drums though, I love passionately and would love to try for my next trip, which will also be my first LSD experience. But something tells me that carrying them on a fairly rough 30 minute hike through the woods isn't feasible.

I played guitar on acid once... it was so amazing. It didn't matter what chord I played, it blended perfectly with the last.

That's an excellent idea. I have a keyboard that has various synths, including the big groaning church organ sound. It's also in a room that is quite dark, with randomly trippy elements added (it's my trip room
Gonna have to try that. Damn and I'm totally dry right now too.

i have played guitar, drums, bass and fucked around with a synth. bass and guitar are awesome. the bass just feels awesome and i've come up with some pretty funky stuff. but the guitar is the best, just add a little overdrive and the wah wah and you can play forever. it just feels so fucking good and every note is the perfect note and the strings are like a part of my body or perhaps my fingers are part of the guitar, it's like an orgasm.
drums are fun and the synth was very fun too, just fucking around with the knobs and coming up with the weirdest most twisted sounds possible. i bet i freaked out a bunch of my friends.

I play guitar "24 years" and for me shrooms and music don't mix so well. my sense of sound is distorted and my arms feel rubbery and stuff. Mescaline however is AWESOME with music. I feel like I can play way better and music just comes to me as if by magic. Also I can sing a lot better cause my throat opens better or something.

Pot is better for playing on ... it's like the difference in feeling between a desert (straight) and a lush valley/river (stoned). It's a beautiful thing and a real connection to the muse.

That's what happens when I drum *sober*! The reason I said that is, when I'm on acid - it's like my brain splits in two. Both halves operate separately, enjoying different parts of the trip. Like, my analytical side will be listening to the funny things people say and looking at the words from different angles. All the while, my creative side's laughing and grooving and putting a tempo to the world. It's like, they're getting along and enjoying the same stimuli - while acting completely on their own.

Ive only done it once. I play the drums often and playing while tripping in my oppinion is not the easiest thing to do. Usually i get really tired really fast and keep my mind on the same beat for a couple minutes.

I like playing an instrument while tripping.
I usually dont play while tripping. but
For me, the only thing that musically blows my mind while tripping is improvisation on my guitar.
Its me and the radio and I improvise to the tune of choice. Other than that, its the piano, by myself.
If I had a sitar, id have a teacher. If I play my conga, its with babatunji or some other hand drummer.
I generally dont make music while tripping. I find the after effects to be astonishing though.

Nice. Very avant garde .
I really hope I can try drums + hallucinogens sometime. Ah, the joys of living with parents. If I ever moved out, it'd most likely be in an appartment and I'd have an electronic kit or a practice pad kit, netiher of which is the tiniest fraction as nice as an acoustic set, in my opinion.

Great things have been done with electronic drums though, as im sure you know.

I'll let you know about that. The first time I tried to play guitar while tripping was on acid and I got distracted however I wasn't into guitar as I am know. Next time I trip however, will be first trip off mushrooms, I plan to get together with my friend and have a jam session while tripping. I'm pretty good at getting into groves while stoned so who knows...

Yeah I love playing when Im tripping. I play a bunch of different things, but I think I like my guitar the most. The piano is great though sometimes, while Im playing it my hands sorta merge and switch places its really cool.
But yeah last time I tripped an Eighth I recorded basically an entire improvised album. Improv has always come easily to me and it is so cool to hit a guitar string and feel the vibrations through your whole body. It has a whole different sound when your tripping, live instruments just seem so much deeper and the sound more complex.
I am always amazed that I can actually play my guitar when Im tripping though, it may have to do with the fact that even if I mess up it still sounds amazing to me...
Bass could be the only thing better than the guitar when tripping though, but my guitar has a whammy bar so there is no end to the fun you can have with it...
