  • hey amigo, you are the best, yes you do..

  • Mines nothing compared to yours, I added it as a response just to get some views. I hope you don't mind

  • Well my friend, you are the closest to the edge. I have a great ear for music and i am a fan since 13 year´s old, so i know U2 like the palm of my hand, and you my friend are excepcional. It´s a pitty, i live in Portugal and i can play just like Larry Mullen Jr. Imagine what we could do...Just keep going, congratulations man!

  • Impressed as always. Great job, you get that sound down for sure.

  • very cool, i see you really wanna be the edge...it,s a shame i live in the other side of the world...i'd like to play some U2 songs, actually i play guitar but i also play the bass ( not just like adam clayton)

  • You keep on playing my friend, spread that light 'coz the light needs spreading. PEACE!!

  • thanks,keep making videos and let us see them

  • Yo. Two questions: 1. Is that ALL just by ear?? 2. What model is Your Les Paul?? Thnx & remember, for me You still bare the best interpretation of this song on whole 'tube. And 10 buckets of respect for the t-shirt and cap!!! Keep it up.

  • Well thank you my friend. Yes, I've learnt the songs over time by listening and watching the live stuff mainly, over and over again then practicing over and over again. My Les Paul is the Studio model, black with gold hardware. Thanks for your enthusiasm and encouragement. I will be creating a new channel soon with hopefully, better sound quality. Peace&Light.

  • Many people we are enjoying nd learning with your videos. You are helping many people to be happy indeed my friend.

  • Bless you!! Thank you for you words, they really mean a lot. I really must get my finger out and get these new videos made. Peace&Light.

  • WOW!!!

  • That was really really impressive. Sounds just like the Edge.

  • amazing

  • nice!

  • your Les Paul is beautiful!

  • Thank you. Yes, we've been together now for 14 years. LOL!

  • man you´re sick!!!!

  • hey man. What gear do you use to get that particular "edge" sound? . Great effort btw

  • As stated I use the modelling within the Boss GT6 and a keen ear to get as close a sound as I can to the real thing. It's all trial and error really. Cheers.

  • Very Good.

  • Very Good .

  • great cover man ! one of my favourite U2 song.

  • You killed it man...loved it totally!!!

    I will now sleep at night knowing that if the Edge ever leaves U2...there will be someone to replace him :-)

    Peace from Oz...

  • I'm a U2 nut since 79 and this version kicks some serious ass. This is the best group in the world and you nailed it!! Really enjoyed it.

  • great work, any chance of a few lessons? it is my dream to play like that you certainly got it nailed brother, i joined youtube especially to leave you a comment, i am that much in awe of your talent. keep it going and thanks for sharing. regards, lee

  • Dude you have the shit wouldn't it be great to someone site say "wantabewhoyouare" because you are fantastic

  • Thank you very much my friend!! I appreciate your words.

  • I gotta hand it to ya if I was The Edge I would be calling ya to meet you in person and shake yer hand, Keep it up. Dumb question but are you playing for a U2 cover band??? if Not ya should be!!!!!!

  • Thank you for your comments. Yes, at the moment we are trying to get a band together to play these awesome tunes. Cheers!

  • you are the top !!!!!!

  • cool. Is that a les paul from gibson or epiphone?

    and what effect did you use?

  • Hi. It's a Les Paul and the effect is a patch on the GT6, can't remember which one now with some delay at 430ms. Cheers!!

  • That is my fav U2 song, gotta say you did a good job! congratulations!

  • hi mate you roxk cant believe how gd u are!! im 19 and a u2 fanatic i have all the dvds etc and i love bono ive always thought of joing a tribute band,if u up 4 it lets us noo!!

  • tip my hat to you sir, got any of our own stuff *(*

  • Amazing version

  • Fantastic...just like being in Edge's house!! I'd like to hear Kite too, I love the version from the Vertigo tour in Aussie & New Zealand. If the man gets the flu on tour, they know who to ring!!

  • That was fantastic! You have great talent, hope you fuse it into something of your own..

  • hands down ur the best Edge player on here, have thought about doing Kite?Keep up the good work my friend...u rock

  • Hi dude!

    You are the man...it sounds awesome!

    I´m really going crazy with this song, I can´t play it very well, ´cause I don´t have the correct tabs and I can´t find them!

    Have you got the tabs?!

  • just great!

  • BEAUTIFULLLL WELL DONE!!!!

  • Nice.

  • how do you make this sound wow!!!!!

  • sei un grandeeeeeee

  • I liked that bro ... nice one !

  • You're Great!! You're THE EDGE!!!!

  • I'll make this short. I have been playing for about a year now. Always loved U2, but your the one that inspired me to start playing so thanks for that. my question is this, how do I know which settings I should use for my distortion or modulation (if any)? Do I really just have to play around and feel whats best? or is this really mostly raw guitar? I know that there is some Delay, but is that really all? Thanks again. Please don't stop rockin. Your awesome. oh, I use a Boss ME-50

  • Hi mate. Thank you for your kind words. Yes, basically that's how I work. I just go through different sounds and then tweak them. It does get very frustrating as I can spend a few hours trying to find a sound with no real results. The delay for this song is set to about 430ms and not too strong. Just keep searching for those sounds, you should be OK with your unit. Cheers mate!

  • edge would be proud bro, good job!

  • You are the best.. keep rockin'.

    U2 forever.

  • Holy crap homes! Nicely nicely done

  • WONDERFUL!!! YOU´RE A MACHINE!!!

  • Fuck bro' you play fucking awesome and your notes are flawless, keep it up man greetings from California!!! =)

  • Wow, thats great playing, you can fill in for edge if hes ever sick:):):)

  • Man, you've got to post more videos. This is the BEST I've heard ever comin' close to Edge

  • Complimenti, veramente un ottimo lavoro.

    Ottimo anche il suono.

  • as we say in spain ACOJONANTE!!!!! YOU´RE THE BOSS MAN!!!!

  • what???

    you stil dont have a tribute band?

    hahha time is money dude!

    what are you waiting to be the best and most famous edge cover?

    hugs!

  • excellent

  • As you might be able to tell, my screen froze when I first tried to post that last comment. And YouTube isn't letting me reply to other comments; only creating new ones. Sorry.

  • You're too kind!! No, at the moment I am not in a tribute band but it is something I would love to do. I will try and get something together in 2008. I really want to play in Dublin's Bar Street in the summer. WOW!! Thank you for watching, hopefully I will get some more stuff on here in the near future.

  • That's not being too kind, trust me. I really hope the tribute band takes off. And if you ever need a roadie...

    Happy New Year, mate.

  • ure awesome!!...where do you get youre tabs from?

  • what kind of guitar effects do you use? i really need to know, please tell me?

  • That was awsome!!!

  • Git, I've been learning that for ages and sounds nowhere near as good. Nice One!!

  • All I can say is WOW, man!!!!!!!!

    So nice to see someone else that Edge's music is so very important to. I must admit, my other guitar heroes are more obvious - Slash, Brian May, etc. - but no-one compares to The Edge. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, my ultimate hero.

    And you, sir, have another subscriber!

  • THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

  • No, thank YOU!

    I watched all your other videos straight after seeing this one, and they're all awesome. Are you in a U2 tribute band? You should be!

  • No, thank YOU!

    I watched your other videos straight after seeing that one, and they're all awesome, man. Are you in a U2 tribute band? You should be!

  • Was that MiniBono coughing at the start?

  • Yes bless him!

  • You should get him to learn the lyrics... Also where do you get the backing tracks from?

  • UR THE EDGE GUY!!!!

    LOOL

  • What kind of delay unit do you use?

  • It's the delay in the Boss GT6. Cheers!

  • f#$king AWESOME! I like it.

  • amazing!! I have discovered guitar sounds that I havent noticed before in the normal song. Thanks man!

  • You are simply awesome man..... Great work!

    Any chance of Angel of Harlem??

  • Pretty good

  • Daaaannng dude! Never seen anyone play that but you know who. Very impressive!

  • Hi, i´m 26 years old and because of you i started to believe that i can start practise and play the guitar. I love U2 and i love Rock. You really rock .

  • i like that very much thats your best performance

  • well done mate :)

  • hastily put together is not how i would define this.... it's pretty much perfect.

  • You almost have to growl when playing parts of this song. Like Bono said at the hall of fame induction, u can't play like the Edge unless you have a rage inside you. Awesome man. Lotta feeling in there.  I love the tone. It's a thick pasty sound that gives you a kick where it hurts.

  • wow sounds good man! cool stile! I hope you watch my U2 covers a and have a comment from you,keep rocking

  • This is excellent one of my favourite U2 tracks. Tell me is the guitar tuned funny when you play with or without you?

  • Hey man, great job! I love the Edge's sound, and you're right on the money! That's really cool...I was snapping my fingers along with you here!

  • congratulations Boy!!

    good

    =]]

  • my fav U2 song mate and u r the man . . so clean and just left me speechless, awesome. Get yerself recognised!!

  • Hi, I just love the way you play all the songs but this a fantastic album track and great live. Do you play in a tribute band.

  • this is about the 4th time iv commented on this video but everytime i listen to it i get goosebumps. how are u so fucking good:p please do sum more videos soon man!

  • Bless you, you're too kind!! I really am trying to find time to work on new stuff but at the moment it is really difficult. Thanks for your enthusiasm though, it really means a lot. Cheers!!

  • Why this crappy microphone does that!?:)

    You should kill it...

    Maybe You play to loud for it? You may record more quiet and amplify it then on a computer...

  • Great jam, I love this song and your playing is damn good and your effects are spot on man awesome job!!!!!

  • I can't stop watching it, one of the best songs ever made. Awesome job brother :)

  • You're not trying to do it.

    You are doing it.

    If you take requests . . . City Of Blinding Lights.

  • one of my favorite U2 songs BECAUSE of Edge's performance on this one

    and you give a tremendous one too

    great job !!!

  • I saw this when you first posted it and was blown away. I've seen and heard lots of UTEOTW covers since then, and yours is still the best, IMHO. All without duplicating any of Edge's gear. You are amazing! :)

  • I stumbled on this by accident and I have to say it's top class. Love sticking it on and singing along! (IWannaBeBono!) You're other stuff is also great, when are you gonna do "Gone"?

  • Dude, that was awesome! You are no Wannabe! You are THE REAL THING!

  • I don't know how close it is to the record but that sounds great.

  • This is not the album version, this is how The Edge plays it live. It's dead on to that version.

  • D- your version of "end of the world" is excellent! Love it!

  • One on favourites songs from an amazing album, Achtung Baby! Your on my favourites list mate, well done!!! Ever tried 'Acrobat'?

    You capture that U2 'sound' really well.

  • Sounds amazin! Inspiring.. makes me wanna pick up my guitar again and learn this.. though don't have that sound at my disposal

  • A mi me gusto!!1

  • beanie and all bless him! Edge is cool innee?

  • man...good job, the best i hear, i play U2 cover band, i am new with this,just hear the U2 music 4 months ago, i confess, i take a look in your post to learn to play ... =P i posted my version...take a look =D

  • Hi my friend...can you please say which distortion you're using...because I have a Digitec RP100a and I know play this song but I never found the right distortion...but you did. Thanks....

  • I think it was the OD 1 overdrive simulated in the Boss GT6. I can't be sure as I just switched on distortion on this occasion without noting what it was. I can't advise you personally as I have never worked with the Digitech and so know nothing about it's settings. I do need to redo this song as there is way too much distortion in the verses and harmonic section. Thanks!!

  • You know your guitars and equipment I am also thinking of learning it all, but its difficult, you should really consider doing Please, from the Pop album era. From the looks of it you have all it takes to cover it.
