Band practice on acid

Have any of you guys ever played with your band while tripping on a light dose of acid? I really want to try this but i don't want it to be a waste of a practice with me just strumming my guitar and giggling uncontrollably hah. So basically, my question is, have you ever had a productive band practice on acid?

With the right band mates that were all comfortable with you dosing then theres no reason why this should not be a great time.
In the right frame of might i bet this will be amazing, just be sure to use earplugs.

I once played a show in the midst of the LSD realm and it was EARTH SHATTERINGLY AWESOME! 4 members, at times switching instruments. Totally free music, blew people's minds, blew our minds. Improvising while in the LSD realm is beautiful. All the mind shadows vanished and all there was was pure Being. We jammed for 2-3 hours, while peaking. I guess you just gotta be in the right group for it to work though. I could imagine some bands just incapable of performing. We were blessed=. The stars were aligned that night. The music was as crimson blue traingles exploding blissufl extrapolation of Self as thunders' light congruence tear dropped from a starry heaven purifying the decaying back streets of the Devil's Las Vegas...cosmic...

I know this is a downer but in my experience psychedelics drastically reduce my musical ability. Doesn't mean playing instruments still isn't fun though.

ya, lsd and music works good...........lol
Depends on the person. Ya know that guy who becomes far less articulate on psychedelics instead of becoming some verbal superman. That guy probably doesnt think he plays his intrument very well on low doses of psychedelics.
I somehow become less capable of mind shattering bullshit rifs, yet at the same time I simplify the music. There is some purity in that head space. DOnt play what you cant play or would prefer not to play at any given moment.
Psychedelics sort of taught me how to play. DOnt believe me? I was just a kid, and psychedelics broadened my musical horizons. It became visual, more emotional, and I avoided flashy bull shit although I could play that sort of crap.
Just dig up john coltrane and ask his limp remains why lsd at band practice is a fine idea if your band mates can meet you atleast half way.
Just dont take too much. For example, if you take too much lsd, mescaline, caapi, or altogehter, it becomes hard to feel your fingertips. Just ask santana. Woodstock.......... True story
I learned alot about music through the use of psychedelics. More than most people would ever believe.
Sorry to all the naysayers, But I have lived it, and it has been more than good to me. Damn weird and uncommon, but common enough.
Thanks for the ridiculously "good ear" lsd.....lol
I even have to tune my band mates shit because I dont like the outcome when machines do that work, especially when the people working the machines have a bad ear.
The structure of emotional sound for me, came when I started using psychedelics. The maths just seemed to get sorted out in a more unique and complex fashion.

Its a wonderful way to bring the members of the band closer together. Get that group mind thing going.

one last question....would you all recommend taking the dose an hour or so before the practice so that I would be coming up while playing, or take it two to three hours before so that I am more comfortable with my newly heightened senses?

It definitely impairs me physically but I still have a good time with guitar or making beats.

Some people are always good players, no matter what substance they have consumed. Im talking about people who really know their shit. Not the garage band across the street.
For example: If youre a jazz musician who can imrovise complex shit in your sleep, lsd will likely amaze the hell out of you, unless you cant feel your fingers, are confused, or dont care to play at all.
There are all sorts of musicians out there, and skill levels. lsd lends its ever so amazing helping hand to a great many. We can probably leave it at that.
There is no doubt that it can both help and hurt your abilities. There is no doubt that it can change the way you experience your/others music.

1/4 tab will not intoxicate much so your fingers will work perfectly but your mind will hold more chords in each moment. progressions will be more complex and layered. if that helps great!

You and your layers.
Just kidding. Ya, it does that, and that is a very important part of what I was saying.
You cant play a good riff if you dont know where you have been or where you are going with it. Egoless improvisation has this understanding already in place.
In some ways the past and future dictate the "now". To understand your thoughts as a set of musical overminds can be a very intense thing to experience. Some of the personality and some of the maths are so breathtaking that you really begin to wonder where this cognitive pre-organization comes from and how it applies to the listener.
Beamed from above? I dont think so, but these states of mind are hard to work with musically and are clearly in some way, above us.
Can anyone say that music actually can create a realistic and objective emotion? The only way it can is within the listener. For some listeners, they resonate with certain artists and they know full well what was meant. They understood the language. Some musicians communicate with their insruments without any lyrics to solidify the emotional placement of the music. A test. If you dont get it/resonate with it, then get out, or listen some more and evolve as a listener.
There is alot that cant be told about the potentialities of music.
Music is the same anywhere you are in the universe. The only difference is the artist and the tuning of the noise maker..........lol
Thats what makes music inherently divine. It has strict rules, and those rules are governed by the creator of all things. Vibrations, and how they resonate with the primal beauty within us.

Alright so I did it last weekend, thought i'd give an update.
Acid with guitar = AMAZING! I took two hits of some nice liquid, than about 2-3 hours into the trip I jammed with my buddy, me on guitar him on drums.
What I noticed -Idea's flowed VERY well, and easy to move them from my head to the instrument -Creativity = amped way up -Alot more emotion was put into the music, also alot more dynamics in my playing -My playing was not diminished by the acid at all
Downsides: Can become easy to forget a riff you were jamming on at times
I want to do this again but with my band (The bass player from my band hopped on drums when I did it this time, it wasn't even actually planned it just happened.)
Also, after doing this, I feel I have learned more about the guitar as yageman was saying.
If anyone plays guitar and has the chance to jam with someone while on LSD I would definitely recommend it!
