U2 - BAD Live Aid Version - mini lesson

[videata2]

ottima lezione...ma è impressione mia o il suono è troppo pieno di alte ?

[Zhorellski]

I think it will help guitar novice if you'd demonstrate the strumming w/o delay first? never the less great lesson demo though!!

[jerakje]

Thanks for the great video!

However I got a question: are you playing the a-string and the d-string 12th fret at the same time? And do you mute the a-string?

[majiksapien]

Good lesson Man, thank you.

[fretkillrfan]

Clean lesson and your English is EXCELLENT!

Thank You.

[eflat1961strat]

Bravissimo!Grazie ,Federico!

[federicoperale]

@eflat1961strat grazie!

[compprof33]

Thx for this. I was so frustrated trying to get the rhythm part. Spent 15 minutes just playing this riff over and over. Xie xie

[helegaran]

how do you give it that hushsed, sort of short sound when strumming on the verse? When ever i play it , it just rings like it does on the studio version... help??

[skyany89]

ciao

io ho imparato a suonare la parte finale della canzone al 12esimo(corda di MI) e 14esimo(SI) tasto e sul decimo(MI e SI) tasto e non suona male...prova e se vuoi fammi sapere cosa è meglio

[bishopk99]

Watching you do this makes me appreciate Edge more and more...Federico, you are awesome!

[SecondVox]

Hey man, you ROCK! I just wanna tnk ya 4 the genious lesson, i couldn't understand witch delay range I had to use, and I hav to say tht 4.10 it's simply perfect! F u have other lessons please let me know! See ya dude!

[deeker66]

Hey Frederic,

I need to buy a delay pedal - it sounds like fun. Thanks for making this sound easy! I'm sure the delay takes some getting used to. I appreciate the time you took to post this...

[violentcontrast]

You really helped me with this, Thanx!

[simone1191]

ma come fai a fare quell'effetto? usi il pedale?

[federicoperale]

si basta usare un delay, qualunque va bene

[simone1191]

ah ok grazie, infatti pensavo di comprarmelo.. ciao!!

[xxxlelo23xxx]

Gostei muito do vídeo,pois explica bem como se faz,a camera ter sido colocada perto da guitarra,facilitou bastante,pois a pessoa consegue ver o que esá sendo feito na guitarra.muito bom!

[U2GuitarTutorials]

Well done, Federic. If anyone is interested in more detail on all the parts to this U2 song and others, I have some vids at:

U2GuitarTutorials

[vampiredude86]

this is an awesome vid, federico - i watch it frequently. thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. i'm slowly but surely getting the hang of playing this! :)

[federicoperale]

thanks!!!!

[PuthSardar]

That is talent - Can you post a uninterrupted solo version of BAD? Man, just to hear the guitar..... Sweeteness.

[aeilerts]

Simply put, YOU ROCK!!!!!!

[altavelocidad]

Amazing! you think you could do "city of blinding lights" by U2

[davec3487]

Federico, you are the man! Great job!

[CyberQ4]

Great job!

The tab out there sucks..this sounds great!

Thanks for unlocking the the formula.

Just one question, as another mentioned, I am having trouble getting the correct picking pattern/sound for the standard A and D positions at second fret.

Can you post it somewhere?

thanks again!

[mkutz007]

hey, nice lesson. one thing you should stress though is after strumming the 4th and 5th strings, people tend to just hit the 1st string and then pause before returning to the 4th and 5th strings. they kinda let the delay finish it up before starting it agian. It sounds much better if instead of taking that pause, just return immediately with the rythm to the strumming of the 4th and 5th strings. Your doing it in this vid perfectly but I dont think you say it. great lesson though.

[mrdavidn3]

Great explaination.

At the 5:30 where the A and D chords are mention, you skim over pretty quickly. Can you please explain the picking pattern, and finger positions?

Thank you and keep up the good work!

[boomdude77]

Fede, thanks for this. a newbie question: Ive always liked version on the unforgettable fire album better (i can put it on repeat for hours), the riff sounds cleaner, less "chunk" (?). is that due to a different guitar, amp, effects... what?  Ive wondered that ever since I heard the live version in Live Aid.

[federicoperale]

i guess it has to do with different delays (sdd3000 versus tc 2290) and/or different EQ and compression used.. edge likes to play a lot and no version sounds the same..

[ianhalen1000]

Greetings!!! excellent guitar playing!

[federicoperale]

plus if you listen to the live aid version is really clean and sort of coming out of the mix...I believe he was using the tc2290 at Live Aid but it's controversial

[videata2]

@boomdude77 in the album version probably a Telecaster or a Les Paul has been used, as it sounds smoother

[SilverSlow]

@boomdude77 In the live versions, The Edge palm mutes the strings as he's playing, to give it that 'chunky' sound, which makes the delay more prevalent. In the album version, he doesn't mute the strings at all.

[thedooood]

my favourite U2 song also. a day doesn't go by that I don't play it. i have known 'who' to play it for years, bu t am still struggling to get it right. good post mate

[Fijipops]

Great post. I have been wanting to play that for years. My favorite U2 song. I always think of a friend I lost years ago. I just learned how to play this on a guiter he gave to me before he died. Thanks for showing me how.

[U266]

Awesome job - thanks to your lesson, I am progressing well with this song :)

[U266]

Awesome job - thanks to your lesson, I am progressing well with this song :)

[NachoVox]

Hey Fede, are you using your dd20 on this video?

Cheers

[federicoperale]

no I am using a TC 2290

[inalittlewhilees]

I really admire the way you play. I'm a beginner, but the few things I know how to play about U2 are from you. So thank you. Do you know where could I find settings for beinner's effect pedals?

[bnmldn]

[gerryhickey]

top class , Could you do more u2 . I will follow or miracle drug ???????

[Degslon]

Thanks a lot for this lesson, you definitely sound more like Edge than any other player I have seen attempt his songs. Are you using any special kind of pick like Edge does? I have a hard time getting that "chime" sound out of my guitar.

Thanks again.

[federicoperale]

yes.. if you want that chime sound you must use herdim blue picks held backwards...

this way it really "clicks"...

[0ddb0d]

Great job. I always appreciate your videos. Lot of people just want to play but you really show how to play it. One tip, sometimes it's good to play the song without the delay so people can really hear what you play. A+++

[Jam1457]

Thanks so much - great lesson! - I played this 15 years ago and forgot it now, my new band what me to do it again, lesson was a great reminder for me and perfect!!
