Pop or Rock songs that use backward guitar? I have the Beatles, Hendrix, the Byrds and The Who I am sure there are other examples.

Do you mean a left-handed guitar, or a guitar played upside-down?

There's lots of left-handed guitarists, and also some that play a right-handed guitar upside down (Bob Geldof for example).

I think what is meant is reverse guitar...the tape or track recorded but played backwards.

Thanks that is exactly what I meant for example the Beatles "I'm Only Sleeping" and Hendrix "Are You Experienced" are songs that use that effect. Embarrassed

Found it ! its "give it away"on blood sugar sex magik.

EDIT : well done Harmonium, you had it first !

EDIT 2 : oh maybe it's not an exact backward recording like the beatles, but more the use of a reverse delay pedal with a 100% wet signal.

While looking for some info on "Cosmic Dancer" by T-Rex, which features backward guitar, on found this site proposing 3 mixes made of such tracks.

http://www.artofthemix.org/findamix/GetContents2.aspx?strMixid=108881&song=&artist=

Lists were we can find "Book of saturday" by Crimso. As a KC fan, I'm ashamed I didn't remember it!

I think there's a lot of songs but I can't think of many right now. D'you know what I mean by Oasis is one of them.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

It on quite a few tracks of Syd Barrett's solo albums.  I believe the song Gigolo Aunt is a good example.


EDIT: wow, I should really look at the previous posts before i post
