i too have made music and experienced magic guitar playing many times over the years, and almost never have i retained any of it upon waking. except once! i had a brilliant riff going. woke up and immediately picked up my real and not magic guitar and started banging it out. turns out it was the opening notes of the crystals' "and then he kissed me." which made me laugh so hard. i popped a tape in the four-track and made a song with it anyway.
