It really is… you can tell he played the solo knowing it would be reversed and it’s just as mind-blowing as the backwards version. I just recorded a song of my own that drew some inspiration from this (just borrowed the scraping sound basically) and then finally thought to listen to the solo forwards after all these years… Now I want to smash my guitar to pieces and cut off both my hands
I was just now listening to the album, and remembered I used a reel to reel back in '67 to hear what the reversed section sounded like. Played the samples for friends, then forgot about it for 49 years,,,,but KNEW that someone must have done it on youtube. So THANK YOU, and your's sounds 1000% better that what I did all analog way back then. Can't wait to share this with those of my friends from that time still alive : )
It's great to hear that iconic backwards guitar ..forward...even forwards jimis note selection tone and feel is just amazing ...backwards it's out of this world especially the high Octave that comes towards the end ( beginning on this recording).of the solo....that's the money note as far as this song goes....lots of great stuff here ...I still find this to be one of the most anxient and futuristic at the same time type of tunes...and in the day of digital.effe ta and whThVe you....amaing this was down on 2 four tracks And with drums bass guitT. And someone bNdiing on a. A flat note on a piano.it sounds like.....
Pure genius, forward or backward. Many have been inspired, learned from him, emulated him, many have even surpassed him on a technical level... but who cares? One thing's for sure... Jimi was one of a kind. He will always be a god to me. Amazing. Thanks for this vid... it's on my faves now.
There will never be another one like him , nobody has possessed a feel for the guitar like him . He's totally unique unto himself. Technical ability is only one aspect of guitar playing , the ability the make the guitar sing is a gift !
This sounds really great forwards. I think this is the first time I have heard this version. Soulful and psychedelic at the same time. I wonder if Jimi created the solo knowing that it would be recorded backwards, or if it was the product of an afterthought later on.
mda037 their is a interview here on youtube with the original sound engineer. He says Jimi planned it and came in with the tape after just one night of preparing it. Then the engineer put it all together. Jimi was nothing less than a genius.🤘🏾🤘
Sounds awesome backwards, but even better forward, IMO, I can just feel every note & has become my favorite short studio solo. Thank you for putting this up.
His playing on this, along with what he did on 1983 (a merman I should turn to be & tides) is pretty much the pinnacle of electric guitar playing for me.
There's an interwiew with Eddie Kramer where he explains that when Jimi wanted a backward solo he used to have Eddie reversing the backing track so that he could take it home to practice on it, and the next day he would show up with a solo that fitted perfectly
Frank Zappa obsessively recorded everything he (Zappa) ever played, and often used guitar solos from live shows in studio albums, such as Joe's Garage. I can't remember which one it was, but there was one awesome solo he reused at least twice.
I'm glad the backward guitar solo is played foward on here. Now we can heard how it was actually played. The solo sounds great foward and backward. Both versions should've been left in the song.
I don't remember if it was E Kramer or C Chandler who said he knew what his leads would sound like backwards when he played them forwards. I mean think about that...
pretty crazy ass thing to do in studio especially at the time for sure. It'd be cool to see a full analog set up of this and and ultimate taping of some sounds he made whilst recording them. One thing I did hear was he was actually quite vocal shy in studio... dunno how true that was but if people know I'd love to know.

Not necessarily forwards, but...beautiful.
you are not a crook! LOL
🌹🌹❤❤✌✌✨✨🙏🙏🕊🕊
😂😂
Played both the forwards and backwards version of the solo simultaneously.
Holy shit.
lol
You must have discovered the secret of zero-point energy, then. Did it hurt when you came back from the future?
THANK YOU! This changed my life lol
LISTENING TO THEM TWO RN
I just did the same. Blew my mind sideways, upways, man... i don't even use drugs
This is one of the best constructed of Jimi’s solos. A perfect example of how he played. And ... it’s the first. Just WOW

this guitar solo tattooed my brain
And Syd's.

Who surpassed him? I would love to listen to their music?
dave mustaine
I wouldnt compare the two, two different styles completely. Hendrix makes love to the guitar, Mustaine abuses it
Couldn't have said it better myself...
I'm sure a lot of his songs were swimming in his thoughts for many a year, back to when he was a kid, before he laid them down with the Experience.
Unwordly...he was always out there trying new things..its just as devastating forwards or backwards..nothing compares..a true genius.
🤷♂🤷♂✨✨✌✌🙏🙏❤❤🌹🌹
Jeeeze. It's pretty damn excellent in either direction!
I always thought the sweet sugary tone of this lead came from it being backwards, but I guess not, since it sounds just as sweet forwards

I saw film of E.Kramer or C Chandler saying he knew what what he leads would sound like backwards when he created them forwards. Imagine...
This is actually one of his best
The human touch behind all the effects - very moving!
I can’t believe it took me this long to think of looking this up…. Thank you!
Damn, me too, f ing amazing either way, I knew it would be.
Shit!! Still sounds backwards!!!
He was thinking inverted while doing it. Fukin A!
Amazing solo.
Sounds awesome backwards, but even better forward, IMO, I can just feel every note & has become my favorite short studio solo. Thank you for putting this up.
The cool part is if you can hear it forwards in your head while you're doing it. I know he could.
BubbaZen10 Right? Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that
His playing on this, along with what he did on 1983 (a merman I should turn to be & tides) is pretty much the pinnacle of electric guitar playing for me.
What's also amazing is how Mitch's drums are virtually the same either way!!
And castles made of sand backwards solo
There's an interwiew with Eddie Kramer where he explains that when Jimi wanted a backward solo he used to have Eddie reversing the backing track so that he could take it home to practice on it, and the next day he would show up with a solo that fitted perfectly
My favourite song from The Experience
My favourite too.
That amp's tone....jesus
love that feedback 16s
best tone ever
No bullshit effects there.
@@RW4X4X3006 little do you know there is a pedal there, a fuzz face. Amps back then didn't produce that much distortion on their own.
@@rebeccabailey527 I know they had some effects pedals back then, but always figured he was tweaking his cabinets
Sounds brilliant forwards as well! Would have been funny if he used the forward version on a different song!
Had he lived, you just know he would have had a ball messin with his old songs for new releases.

The solo sounds great foward and backward. Both versions should've been left in the song.
Thanks for making this for us, broseph! ..I totally didn't feel like firing up Logic at 4am! haha
The solo sounds great fowards and backwards. I think both directions should have been left in the song.
Love how he actually tried to play a forward backwards solo backward forward..
Feedback ALWAYS reminds of negative time, like when lightening fills the night sky,...It also brings back Deceased BLUES guitar players...
When he recorded this he actually played the solo backwards. But his engineer used the backwards tape instead.
Not true
Thank you! just the thing I was looking for.
Sounds better this way!
It sounds great both ways.
such incredible sound
must be the Marshall JTM45/100 cranked
It's trippy forwards and backwards.
I don't remember if it was E Kramer or C Chandler who said he knew what his leads would sound like backwards when he played them forwards. I mean think about that...
love it all

well eddie kramer or chas chandler i forgot which one but they said he would fortify himself while recording voice
This is great!
Ohhhhh ya!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!! thanks ;-)
Lol. All versions of this song on TH-cam is backwards more than forwards.
That's how jimi put it on the album
fantastico
Got the stems of this
how high was Jimi when he recorded this
All them AlBert King bends
WOW!!!!!!!!!HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, dude?
