Well in fact it's not as unrealistic as it might seem. When singing and playing simultaneously you're using both brain hemispheres to a far greater degree than when doing your usual daily routines. Music perception/creation itself is a "right brain" function while speech and physical cordination are generally left brain functions. (Remember each hemisphere controls the physical coordination on the opposite side of the body, normally. Most folks are left brain dominant/right-handed) So you've got both hemispheres competing for control and/or dominance when singing and playing at the same time. It's been shown that intoxication can facilitate the "cross talk" between hemispheres. My favorite is beer. In small doses, say just a couple of bottles an hour. :wink:davismanLV said:Damn, Scott, you beat me to the punch on that one!! Too unny.....CA-35 said:Get some influence.But I really am amazed at how these musicians can perform so well under the influence :shock:
Any suggestions?
Just goes to show you how instinctual it becomes, that you can perform while impaired....
It's also been shown that just thinking about performing a physical task (like playing a song) can enhance the neuron paths that will control the action. Also, repetion of actions actually builds-up and strengthens the motor control circuits for a given action, what's commonly known as "muscle memory".
