Does LSD make you like arpeggios?

This is oddly specific.

I don't know if I'd be able to tell...because I already liked arpeggios...I guess?
 
Most psychedelics that I have taken sometimes tend to enhance my appreciation of the structural features of the things I am thinking about - (ie music, art, architecture, nature etc). Arpegios are one of the structural features in some music which can become more clearly discernable under the influence of these kinds of drugs. I'm thinking of the mental grids and enhanced pattern detectionI have experienced.
I love the way that music can conjure up thoughts and feelings which are beyond verbal description. I particularly enjoy the mind movies which sometimes accompany such trips. If I like a musical piece, it is fascinating to see what my unconscious mind has to show me about the reasons why, when it's workings are revealed by a good psychedelic.
A nice pair of headphones is required for maximum inversion!
Peace - Pipp
 
Have never found arpeggios too conjoined to the acid experience but could see it. Have always preferred more "studio manipulated" music more - psychedelic rock, experimental indie, etc (examples: tame impala/hendrix, some beatles, grizzly bear, etc)

The reverb saturated noise creates these "left over" layers of noise that wash over you at delayed intervals in a sort of cumulative effect, it's like "being bathed in music," or something comparable. A total immersion in the music, without the analytical drive of psychedelia ruining the immediate presence of emotion and aural effect - whereas a concept like arpeggios, is more a metaphor through which to view the music itself. But I already hyper-analyze music while sober, and prefer to be bathed in its immediacy in the psychedelic state

I believe arpeggios to be as you described it, "being bathed in music". The multitude of layers are all there, except one by one and in fast succession. I know that part of my reason for loving arpeggios (especially while on LSD) may have come for my love of metal and sweep-picking when I was younger (keep in mind sweep-picking is NOT limited to arpeggios).
 
oh no, definitely not limited to sweep picking, I come from a classical piano background and arpeggios still have quite a bit of meaning, in the breaking down of chords, but i can't help but view it retrospectively as the progression of the music itself. perhaps i just don't "feel" arpeggious as immediately i suppose
 
One thing I really enjoy about arpeggios is going backwards one or two notes, then going back forwards again. Not sure if this is too common with arpeggios though.
