nice man :thumbsup: . same story here...my dad has an acoustic guitar he never got around to playing, so for some reason the only time i decided to play was when i got into weed....but ya acoustic is a very chill insrument to play, especially when blitzed. except i only know like 5 chords, but hey i'm learning.

you guys know jimi started playin guitar when he was already 15 years old?...i didn't

cannabis inspired me again too, gives me a better feel of the beats and sound

I learned all my chords and scales under the influence of thc. I'd get high and play Pigs On the Wing and some other easy yet awesome stuff.

learn the notes on your finger board.
A a# B(no b sharp)C c# D d# E(no E sharp) F f# G g#, then back to A.
Standard Tuning,
E ---------------(low e)
A----------------
D-----------------
G-----------------
B---------------
E----------------(hi e)

The lines represent your string
Each string played open ,is called an open note. To make your low open E an F, simply press down on your first fret, next fret on same string would be F#, 3rd fret G, etc etc etc. Moving 1 fret is considered a half-step. 2 frets is a whole step.
You cant have B#, but you can have B flats, which is only by moving up your neck, backwards from C# C Bflat A# A
Same goes for the piano.
Have fun, and perhaps i can post some failry simple tabs for you to practice, and some pretty easy scales.

smoke on the water...1 string

if you know tabs...

0--3--5--0--3--6,5--0--3--5--3--0--0

dont play this ifront of other guitarists though or you will be severely laughed at

and if you know that, roulette by system of a down isnt to hard to learn

[MetFan3125]

I love playing when I'm high. I tend to suck when I'm really high and start thinking about other things when I play, but a good jam is always fun.

[durban poison]

haha i have the opposite story kind of...i stopped playing when i got into weed about 2 years ago then about 6 months into smoking i stopped tokin and started jamming now im in a band and im actually pretty good nothin better then getting stoned and making music in my opinion.

[MetFan3125]

Dude, I hear it too! but I can never recreate the riffs in my head onto actual music, so I makeup songs as I go. Usually pretty fun, lol.

check these out...Open D tuning D A D D A D
D A D F# A D\

I usually tune a little low on these
From G , back to D (M-3 M-14-15;M28-31), but these are for bluegrass, which would be MB94818BCD, using Dm.
In M3 and 11, you can either slide into the D note on the fifth fret or play the open fourth string D notes
