That is exactly when it happens. When I am drinking.
A lot of times when we were drinking and jamming and I go to listen the next day or so, I expect the music to sound terrible. Especially if we got really, really drunk. Half the time I am pleasantly surprised by what I hear, it is much better than I expect
I am not in the habit of recording myself or jam sessions, regardless of inebriation levels. I generally only record when I sit down specifically to do so.
I tried to record some sound from my new guitar the other day. I would sit here playing one of my songs through before I hit the record button, and I would play it flawlessly, with a groove and a swing and it sounded great. Then I hit record, and within 5 seconds of playing I fucked up. Every fucking time. I think I should have just got drunk
I used to have issues like that. These days, nerved/pressure don't bother me. I'm also (usually) fairly practiced before recording or performing.
