Backwards guitar

PrincessTast...	Date: April 27, 2006 @ 12:20 AM I think the first time I heard it was on the Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows", which coincidentally, sources tell me, was also the first to feature it, although still other sources maintain that it was Jeff Beck-era-Yardbirds who had it first. Who's right?

GeneHilbert	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:20 AM recorded forwards then flipped and mixed in backwards

Alecs	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 12:53 PM Well, I've played some mean upside-down guitar while hanging from monkey bars. Never played backwards though. Never gotten that whole reversing time thing down.
