I Feel Fine was the first popular tune to employ feedback. Up to that point, it was a rather unpopular effect that musicians and especially public speakers avoided like the plague. The opening of the song starts off with a grinding sound that imitates a buzz-saw rather well. In reality, it’s a guitar A-string which was struck and allowed to feed back. George Harrison was most likely standing directly in front of his amplifier, being deafened at the time to produce what started it all. Later artists took the principle of feedback to the extreme, with Jimi Hendrix and Iron Butterfly paving the way toward the future
