Original piece inspired by a recent track by @Daveypoo (thanks).

There's something not quite right about this track (other than my strange chord progression and arrangement!). Can you spot it?

    Wow - I'm flattered. Nice playing as always, sir. While there are many effects that can emulate this and they have their uses, I feel that the classic process brings the best results.

    Well done!

    Interesting chords. Have no idea what’s off. Something with the pitch?

    Something going backwards although the transients don’t give it away?

    Thanks for listening and commenting @Daveypoo @LinearLineman @AndyHoneybone

    Yes, the main guitar is backwards. Done the old fashioned way: recorded the backing track, reversed it, then played the solo and head over the top. Un-reversing, the track plays normally with a backwards guitar over it.

    This was a lot of fun to do and I recommend trying it, but there were some difficulties:

    Need to plan ahead;

    Learning to play things backwards - I made the melody a bit too difficult;

    Improvising solo dynamics backwards is very unnatural - basically starting with high fast runs gradually getting lower and slower;

    Capturing those dreamlike reversed swells and abrupt note endings just right - I did 3 takes and the first 2 didn’t sound backward enough.

    Listening to Castles Made of Sand really helped a lot - Jimi’s phrasing is perfect, he knew exactly what to play to capture the full ‘reverse’ experience.

    Impressive (and very musical) track given how difficult it must have been to do the backwards lead 👌

    Agreeing with Tony but also the anxiousness it gives, it's so... like a hole in the stomach -- weird and not very pleasant feeling. Well done! 😃

    Thanks for listening and liking, much appreciated. Took a few goes with some extra practice on the melody. Interesting experiment/experience which I’ll be doing again sometime. I wonder how GeoShred sounds backwards.

    I kinda understand your feeling of anxiety. There’s a note at around 3:30 that just hangs around for a bit then swells and suddenly gone. Also, the chords are quite tense, maybe adding to the mood. Thanks for listening.
