Does it happen to you..
..that some days you feel like everything you do is smoother? Does it happen to you that some days you can play better any instrument?

Nope. Ask anyone who play with me regularly. Doesn't happen.mordred wrote:..that some days you feel like everything you do is smoother? Does it happen to you that some days you can play better any instrument?...
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Re: Does it happen to you..
Yes and when it does I look for salt shaker on the bar in the pub, open the lid and make a salt circle around my feet, ask for some garlic bread and hang that around my neck and prey that I haven't been cursed. Because knowing myself it is more of an abnominaly than the actual thing and that I am not delusional.mordred wrote:..that some days you feel like everything you do is smoother?

I think that there is a lot of mental and physical capacity that we are not using. We all have heard stores of people who were able to perform extraordinary feats when required to do so by circumstances.
I have heard it being referred to as "being in the zone" or some such expression. I used to practice the classical guitar for hours every day. Without any special effort or decision on my part, I would often slip into a period of time when I was able to play especially well and without much effort. I have also had this experience when I was hiking in the mountains. Suddendly, I would become aware that I had entered into a different way of experiencing reality. I felt as if I was almost floating instead of plodding up the mountain trail, which was my normal experience. I sure wish that I knew how to simply turn-on those moments.

and I don't do drugs either 
But several people here have a sense of humor that is a bit dark and cynical. It's like you have translate everything they say. Just shift everything over a few notches. "That stunk" means it was OK, "That was OK" means it was pretty good, and "that was pretty good" means it was off the scale fantastic.
Now I'm curious-- I'm going to do a search on "bliss" and see what comes up...

This has always happened to me, throughout decades of playing on a variety of instruments. Some days I'm completely inept, usually mediocre, and occasionally inspired. It was for this reason that I opted early on to avoid most performance situations, and concentrate on informal music-making with friends. I've never regretted that decision.
