Does anyone feel that they play better guitar stoned?

I sure dont. I may think I do at the time, but recordings have disproven this theory.

I dont think being stoned makes you better at anything except for being lazy. That doesnt keep me from an occasional indulgence though. :wink:

thats funny, cuz i can't even record anything when i'm stoned....
i would smoke, then go in my room and put on the 4-20-02 DVD and watch #41 while i played along, then plug my guitar into my comp and hit record in CEP WITHOUT arming the track... I did it twice. A total of at least 40 mins down the drain :oops:

Yea I am the same way, just some before I go on stage, and I only do it when Im with a band, no reason for me to get stoned when im playing solo. Ive only played a few times that way, but my band says I sound so much better and I have alot more fun onstage as well. I think one of the side-effects is that alot of our songs ended up being 35 minutes long. :oops: :shock: :)
