@therocksolicitor Why limit yourself? Why not challenge yourself and learn some jazz anyway? I'm a rock player, but I spend 90% of my time practicing Jazz. As much as I love playing rock guitar, it can start to feel limiting after a while, even working on Steve Vai tunes. You'll only get better by learning jazz guitar.

@sylviinho I agree with that. I didn't mean to imply that any drug will turn any person into Hunter S Thompson or Lord Byron or Hendrix or Pass. I do think that street substances can sometimes coax genius from within some people who're also willing to work hard. But I agree that legal or illegal substances are not some magic creativity pill. But, for a select few, I think it does help. I guess I've been reading too many biographies and autobiographies lately that argue this point.

@bradeddy the sad thing is that we will never know about it... but I still mean that geniuses are geniuses, with or without drugs.. if you want to try drugs and see if you become a brilliant player, it's up to you, but personally I think that when you open up your mind and listen to what "your heart" wants, that's when you start to create art.. as a jazz musician myself I know that good music comes from the inside, but first you have to practice.. so stop arguing and start reciting! :P

@sylviinho Wow, thanks for the education. I guess it's just coincidence, after coincidence, after coincidence that every great jazz musician we can think of used drugs at some point. What about guitarists in other genres? What about novelists and painters? I know everyone wants to push the hardline DARE line that drugs are always bad, bad news, but do you really think Jimmy Hendrix would have been burning guitars and writing ground breaking music without mind altering substances?

@bradeddy just so you know,Joe Pass only archieved success after going out from the rehab center..and noe one wanted to play with Parker because he wasn't reliable.. Miles Davis too did have his problems until he decided to kick the habit, and just after that we have Birth of the Cool,Kind of Blue,Relaxin',Steamin',Workin' and Cookin' which are some of the greatest albums ever.Drugs make you crazy,those guys were great because they had talent, the drugs only killed them earlier than they should

@donottawaguitar They were never 'invented' ;) Such combinations would always have existed.. It took someone like Mr Pass to show us how it's done :)
