I am easily 10x worse at playing complex stuff when I'm stoned (though that doesn't keep me from doing it often since it's a great time). I don't think I internalize the lessons as well, my micro level coordination is much worse. It's even more noticeable drumming, but drumming is even more fun high lol. So I'd say go for it if you enjoy it, but over time I am sure that just improving your focus and learning method sober would be more effective.
Interesting, I can get that. In the end, as long as you like how you're learning, I'm all for just doing what's most fun and will keep you playing the most often. So enjoy!
Oh yeah, that's huge. Watching video of your picking and fingering can help a lot too.
For me, I am way more comfortable improvising, noodling, or jamming while high, but my focus becomes way too shit tier for me to put in a mindful practice.
