Playing with a buzz (in my head)

[ChrisM]

1 or 2 drinks or beers and I suck.


I dont know how some guys do it.


How about you?

i'm with ya chris, after 2 beers all sense of time is gone, after 4 beers, i don't care.

It's the same for me too. I try to keep it to about 1 beer/drink an hour when I jam with friends, that way I can have a beer and still be able to play. Also, I'm not plastered at the end of the evening when it's time to drive home.

Back in the day--when I wuz young--me and the whole band used to drink a pitcher each before we went on and each take a pitcher up on stage with us. Back then I was on bass and we were playing pop music.

Nowadays I need to be fully sober, but I'm also trying to do tricky licks and righteous riffs.

Trying to play songs I already know can be a bit more of a challenge, but I find that song writing and improvising comes to me easier when I've had a couple.
