This is part two of the series, if you haven’t read part one yet, it is recommended to do so.

The Beatles have done of studio techniques creating unnatural sounds, some of which can be heard in track: Tomorrow Never Knows (found in the Revolver Album). Paul McCartney is responsible for the tape loops heard in the song, while John Lennon’s voice altered by singing directly through a Leslie Speaker. John Lennon described the way of his singing like the Dalai Lama singing on top of the Himalayas. We owe the title of the track to Ringo Starr’s Ringoisms.

The Electric Guitar in the song I’m Only Sleeping track found in the same album as Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver Album) sounds out of this world but in reality the sound was made by George Harrison’s riffs played in reverse! Strawberry Fields Forever (can be found in Magical Mystery Tour Album or as a single is one of the tracks in which Ringo Starr doesn’t play the drums in one take. The Beatles were experimenting with the track and came up with Ringo Starr’s creative beat which is seemingly impossible, like I’m Only Sleeping the actually Drum Track was played in reverse. The single “Rain” ends with John Lennon singing gibberish but if you tried to play it in reverse the track, John Lennon was actually singing backwards or technically the part he recorded was played in reverse. The Beatles were responsible for the idea of “BackMasking”. Backmasking is simply playing the track in reverse.

The piano’s natural sound has been modified by The Beatles numerous times an example can be found in the “Harpsichord” solo in the track In My Life (found in the Rubber Soul Album). The Harpsichord like sound was achieved when George Martin’s piano rendition in a slow tempo and easier key was sped up and transposed, therefore giving a harpsichord like sound. The same process was done to make the Honky-Tonky style in the track Rocky Raccoon (found in the “The Beatles” aka as White Album). The Boogie-Woogie bass line in “You Never Give Me Your Money” (found in the Abbey Road Album) was also a product of this effect.

The unusual aura and sound of Strawberry Fields Forever (can be found in Magical Mystery Tour Album or as a single) was done by the use of numerous track edits and overdubs. Originally while making the song George Martin’s part and John Lennon’s part where in different keys, to avoid recording the parts all over again the parts were transposed and adjusted to fit to the same key.
