GRILD (Guitar Riff Induced Lucid Dream)

**Soul_Sleeper** · 08-21-2007 04:35 PM

Hey Dreamviewers,

I thought up this WILD based technique last night and I tried it out and got some good results.

Now im posting it here becuase I want to know what people think before I turn this into a tutorial.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea:
Basicaly you need to know how to play guitar (even just a little) and think of a riff. Personally I made up my own riff and got it stuck in my head. anyway, you take the riff and you learn it, then you repeat the riff over and over again in your head while you WILD and you visualize yourself playing it. I recommend you find a riff that flows well and is kinda slow. just keep on playing and visuallizing the riff in your head to keep your mind occupied until you feel SP and see HI then....

Viola! your in a Lucid dream!

Now I personaly have never had a lucid but I try to WILD's often.
Last night I couldent get to SP because my mind was wondering so I thought of the riff I was playing before bed and within a few minutes I was there!

The only reason I didn't become lucid is because I had a bunch of scratch's, and I got too hot, and I was thirsty.

Well I hope this Tutorial helps with your lucids!

My riff:
Bottom 2 strings.
-3p2p0---0h2-------------)
--------3------0----------) (---that Times 2)

Bottom 2 strings
-3p2p0---0h2------------)
-------3-------3---------) (---that times 2)

Just repeat each after the other!

And remember VISUALIZE!

Sweet Dreams

This is an original idea!

I'm going to try this, but with Radiohead's Street Spirit. It seems fitting

**swiftshady** · 08-21-2007 04:58 PM

I think the riff the guys plays on his eucalalie in waking life would be cool to try this to. I cant get it out of my head!

**Neruo** · 08-21-2007 04:58 PM

OH-YEAHHHHH.

Playing guitar is cool, so this certainly is worth a try!

**Soul_Sleeper** · 08-21-2007 05:00 PM

Thanks for the Positive replys guys!

I was wondering if you guys want me to make a video on youtube of all my techniques?

cuz i can play the riff for you guys on my webcam and upload it.

as with any other techniques i think up or just other riffs

**TaNK** · 08-21-2007 06:49 PM

I don't play the guitar, though I do play the violin. I'll try something similar to this with a series of notes on the violin.

**swiftshady** · 08-21-2007 07:11 PM

My friend and i just tried your riff on the guitar, hats off, its a trippy riff

I would Imagine it would work with any musical instrumet. When I make the offical tutorial I will change it to "any instrument".

I am asking people to try this technique with all instruments to see if it would work like that.

Thanks! I think it would make a good base riff for a song.

I have a few repeating licks that are increably trippy.

**Grexxis** · 08-21-2007 07:18 PM

I gotta admit when I first saw this thread I just laughed. It actaully sounds like it very well might work though, I got the perfect riff to try it with that I came up with a few day's ago...

I have WILD'ed a few times in the past and once recently. Considering the stubborn nature of the songs that get stuck in my head this will hopefully carry me through to SP which is difficult for me(for me LD's are under a minute away from there). Great idea for us metal freaks out here!

Can you post some?

Sure heres one my friend made up and we used it in a song.

last 3 strings
-5---5---5---5---8---7---5---7-----
--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----
---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---

-5---5---5---5---8---7---5---7-----
--6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6----
---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---

Just play one after the other. The, when you feel the time is right play this:

---5---
---5---
---5---

If you play it with a wah pedal or with alot of reverb it sounds CRAZY

(I didnt write this my friend Jordan did.)

**Grexxis** · 08-21-2007 07:55 PM

Nice riff, I'd post one of mine that oddly enough is somewhat similar. But my tabbing skills are little to none.

**zoo york is cool** · 08-22-2007 04:34 AM

I think I'll try this with sunshine of your love.
