Hi there,
Seems to me the main problem would be when strumming. The usual way is to start on a down stroke and in most cases, this means the bass notes are sounded first. With the strings being in reverse, each down stroke would now be starting off with the high end first followed by the lower end.
Problem is, quite often when strumming, the route note is sounded first, not always but usually. For example when playing in G, the G note would be heard first, then if we move to a C chord, I ignore the bottom string and the emphasis is on the C note. With the strings upside down, all the right notes would be there but the accent would be on different notes. Interesting and sounds like it might give a good effect, especially for some African and Reggae style music... where a lot of the stuff is almost backwards anyway, the bass lines for sure..
Gordon.
