Interesting! Backwards overdubbing is difficult because you have to
envision the finished music to make it work ("thinking backwards").
May not have been an easy task such an intricate chord progression. I
must say I love Eric's solo not only for his beautiful tone but also
for the composition. Listening to that solo when I was a teenager
taught me in just a minute many things about music theory that I still
rely on.
