Playing guitar while being drunk

[idssdi]

So besides me being drunk and trying to play django reinhardt stuff(which I miserably failed at btw). Does anyone ever play while being drunk? And how do you play when you are?

Only Slash and Keef sounded good drunk. No one ever sounds as good as they thought the sounded when they were drunk. A slight buzz to loosen the muscles and the mind is one thing, flat out drunk is another.

i’ve done it a few times playing gigs drunk to the point where i was reaching for a wah wah pedal that was never there. For me it doesn’t affect my playing, maybe it rids me of any nerves so i can become the player i am when i’m alone and no one is listening or watching. I wouldn’t advise it though. Alcohol treats everyone differently and i’ve seen some awful performances by people who have had one too many. Maybe just be aware of how alcohol affects you personally and DON’T CHUNDER ALL OVER YOUR STRINGS!! lol

Well with sone thing I’miss actually fine. Just shouldn’t try to sweep it play django reinhardt stuff. (I say I’m fine but am not actually sure people just said I was still keeping time and was playing pretty well)
Also slash was kind of an alcoholic in the 90s that makes playing while drinking easier.

 

[Richard O'connor]

ids are you drunk right now? lol

 

[Dominik Róg]

Richard, for me it looks like the answer is yes

 

[idssdi]

Kind of that’she made think of this. I triedereen to play guitar and it didn’t really go so well (timing was off and notes were randomly chimed)

 

[Richard O'connor]

your guitar may be off, but your typing has gone to complete shit haha….i want what he’s having!… “i’m on the nightrain”!

 

[idssdi]

Hahaha my autocorrect is complete shit and I don’t care to correct it
I had 5 shots of vodka and 4 beers btw so if you want to have what I’m having you can try that

 

[Richard O'connor]

vodka? jesus christ no keep it. it tastes like nasty ass medicine if you ask me. i’m a whisky/rum man

 

[idssdi]

Whiskey also seems nice!

 

[Richard O'connor]

…well ive just found the song for the next house party lol…..5 shots and 4 beers? you want to calm down ids its tuesday for god sake haha

 

[idssdi]

Actually my last beer was like 2.5 hours ago so…

 

[Dominik Róg]

Beer, vodka, whiskey… Depends on the day, really but I think I’d rather play sober, eventually one-two beer/shots/drinks, nothing more

 

[Matt Wildman]

Ask Syn

 

[idssdi]

Aah well apparently I had another idea for a forum topic which I only think is actually a good idea when I’m in a certain state

 

[Daniel Bernard]

I do unintentional string skipping.

 

[Sven Barnitzki]

playing drunk is great. Gives a little bit more soul to my playing, but i don´t know how it sounds to others

 

[Dan Shipway]

Don’t drink and play kids

In my experience it’s just harder to focus on rhythm. Actually the more you drink the harder it is to care about it at all.
But as long as you can stay on rhythm and you can still focus enough to play the right notes, drinking shouldn’t be a problem.
Tho, try not to throw up if you are on stage. A friend did that…
