It's even better if you have an electric guitar, an adequaely loud amplifier, and some effects.....a digital delay pedal can produce some of the most orgasmic sounds and effects while trippin....it's actually quite amazing, even if you don't know how to play, you can just sit there and make noise just by plucking on one or two strings or whatever... Hours of fun for the whole shrooming family...

I play better when I shrrom and it is so cool to me hows song patterns work so well. I played a twenty minute medley of all kinds of songs and made up shit that went together. It was nuts!

guitars rock.. i've been playing for only over a year or so, and there's nothing that a bit of strumming cant fix when you're down... just sitting there with those geaming strings at your finger tips makes everything alright. and feedback rocks. just soft feedback and a whammy bar and some harmonics makes my head near explode when i shut my eyes.... you can make some pretty ufo-like noises and sounds. music is food for the soul peace and love.......

Shroomin/trippin is a very fun experience when you play, or are listening to people play anything.A cool guitar rig is the first step. You can most likely get an el-cheapo used guitar from any pawn shop, as well as a decent amp. Just make sure the amp has reverb. I started out with these effects: Stereo Chorus pedal ($50 used), MXR Phase 90 box ($85 new...but you can find them used almost anywhere), a simple analog Dealy pedal (got one at a yard sale for ($20), and a wah wah pedal (best to skip the wah wah until you learn how to play a bit...it can be annoying if you have no rhythmn and it kind of fucks up the ambience). I played with two other dudes, one had a set of congas, one played an acoustic (he new how to play), and I just made noise. We tripped all the time, and just recorded everything. It is really cool to listen to the stuff the next day and see what kind of world you exposed. Since those days, I have been playing for about seven years, and am in a really cool band right now. Those first few months of just playing like that are a lot more special to me than playing in front of a bunch of people that don't give a shit about who you are or what you are going to play. The $400 or so I spent, was worth much more than any other "peripherals" I've spent my money on while I was tripping.

Drums are also quite fun. They sound so wonderfully rich and resonant. Cymbals have very enriched character as well. I experiment with building guitar effects when I'm bored once in a while, and they are very fun to play with. I would have to say anything that makes a sound is quite enjoyable. Get a few friends together and play whatever you can get your hands on. Pots and pans can produce very musical sounds (I've got more than one kitchen item on my drum kit ). Tubes are fun to play like brass insturments. Make up new insturments. Build a wash tub bass.  [This message has been edited by Krupa (edited August 13, 2000).]

If you guys think simply playing the guitar is tripped out - try using slap technique as if you were playin fuck bass. It is absolutely crazy. You can actually see the percussive sounds making changes in the world around you, not to mention how cool it is when you close your eyes. This is especially interesting if you can play well. Try figuring out how to play some songs that you have written or already now, slap-style. Or even better - write some crazy stuff on your own. HAHA! good luck.

man you aint kiddin there aint nothin better than playing when tripping. The way I see it shrooms just take you straight to the zone. You know what I mean? when Im uasully playing I will play sometimes for hours before I hit the zone ( YOU know where everything just comes out perfect studio-like)I think you can really tap your talents while trippin. One time my friend and I were shroomin with his guitar and a red light and pink floyd(money) and not knowing any Floyd he started playing LEAD right along!! Any who it was bad-ass P.S. I have a zoom multi effects processor Flanger,chorus,distortions,phaser etc. man it was only 90$ and its pretty good quality effects. ------------------ some say half empty, some say half full... dammit i ordered a cheeseburger!
