U2 - WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME - My Effort At Home!!

[MrNutsack101]

Okay version...sounds pretty tin like and too high pitched...

[palonejr]

Bravo;

Your one of the few humans guitar players on this planet that I would not mind if you lived next door.

Bobby........

[nmssis]

good show!

[jsamke]

awsome is all I can Say

[itubetoo456]

All my hats off to you. Awesome. I'm very impressed.

[toonpinter]

Good effort buddie keep up the good work and keep practicing well done

[Rafal102able]

@WannaBeTheEdge I want to play songs of U2 on electric guitar.

I'm begginer, how effects I need?

[rodrigozamo]

@Rafal102able Delay for sure... it's the echo... key ingredient to the edge's sound... an analogue delay would be best, like an ibanez or a malekko ekko, if you can get an Eventide Time factor great but it is expensive, but very high quality, about 430 dollars. Or jsut start with a basic digital delay, boss DD3 is great and not very expensive. Also a Vox amp but those ARE expensive... original Vox AC30 about 3000 dollars, you can get a Vox Valvetronix which is also great but much less expensive

[rodrigozamo]

@Rafal102able

check out the Electroharmonix Memory Man Deluxe, this is actually the original delay the edge started using in the early days you should check it out, now he uses the TC electronic 2290 but it is a rack unit and it's like 1700 bucks... so not worth it unless you are a pro like the edge...

[Rafal102able]

@rodrigozamo Thank you very much for advice :)

[rodrigozamo]

@Rafal102able anytime =]

[DrinkShareWin]

fukin good man.....fucking good!

[ukuleleteen]

@s0fiakoo

[gamer00b]

[MyBestBUDDYIsAGoat]

@s0fiakoo HAHA! I was about 7 when I started loving U2! Now I'm 16 and they would have to be my favorite band. PERIOD. (and I'm a girl!!)

[sergemoon8]

Congrats My Man,I Love It,Keep It Up,Yessssssssss......!!!

[rawrsaidthemouse]

That smile at about 0:36 just says it all: I love this music. And to be honest, I think a lot of people love that you've "recreated something beautiful" as BBCater said. You keep on rocking man, because it's a smile like that, which can be inspirational, just like this song. Thank you.

[u2norton]

the outfit and your overall performance is queer. the cover sounds pretty cool though.

[hawkeyepierce123]

Nice job; I love this every time I hear/watch it. (I probably commented on it a few years ago but am too lazy to search.)

[ajalcamo]

You are awesome!! My husband and I love listening to you ~ you are a great guitarist!!

[matth1202]

Good stuff, I'm learning this at the moment but can't get the bloody delay speed right (I got a lame delay pedal). Always sounds good on a Strat too. Do you put any gain on or you just using pure clean sound??

[funkyMonk1985]

is that a tv jones pick up in the bridge ?

[merlinchanelle]

Quebec salute you man.

[jipidibipity]

tuning is a half-step lower than standard

[MalusCarmen]

NICE! Great job!

[sparkyru]

GREAT!

[podonnell211]

i like your shirt

[BlackRose2222]

surprisingly good

[MyBestBUDDYIsAGoat]

Your "Effort at Home" should win you awards! Love this vid! (Love the smile!)

[BaseballPie]

you look a little like Edge with the hat and the guitar. it looks little like the kind he uses in streets

[marceloj99]

cool mate!!! good work!!

[smalco]

You're an inspiration to us all! Impressive!

[yoannsally59]

you'll be the edge.. you could.. congratulations from france !!!!

[typhoontim125]

Expected this to be embarrassing but it certainly aint!. Well done! Any chance of a lesson? :-o

[ukjones99]

well impressed !! :)

[calumthebrave]

what dealy time/s are you using? :-)

[ogettings]

Your sound is great, it's just the recording that is rubbish, so much clipping from your mic. Bet you sound awesome in your actually living room though. :)

[qwerty54321879]

Its ok-ish not as good as the master though

[Wiredamp95]

Check out my guitar cover of Where The Streets Have No Name, my video quality isn't that great but the sound will blow your mind!

[mrJonnyBruno]

great man! ))

[Webdragon220]

I'm impressed with the comments of support given in this segment. We need to support each other as musicians. Great job!

[fono17]

nice work man

[LandsEbb]

Ahh, this is great. Not as good as Pride but still with the spirit of the song

[lemonhead110296]

wow, you even have the hat, nice job

[TheFlyEdge]

Brilliant mate. It's great to hear just the guitar on this amazing song. You've just inspired me to pickup my guitar again. Thanks. :)

[KurtOpeth007]

hooo!!!! i´m so happy!! Es el unico cover de esta cancion donde se oye lo más parecido posible a The Edge. Es el unico que me ha gustado

"My versio here is by no means perfect" jajaja, you are very modest.

Great¡¡¡

[B0N0FAN]

very good man! wish i could play!!

[dkrasney]

wow man you nailed the delay effect with this. can you please tell me what type of delay pedal you are using and the timing (i.e., 344 or 380?) also can you tell me how many repeats you selected and if u threw any distortion in there with it - lemmie know what kind! YOU ROCK!

[elisdewaard1]

the fact that it is watched 106 times, says enough i think. It maybe doesnt sound likes the edge. But nevertheless, you are doing a great job! it sounds really nice to me!:)

[elisdewaard1]

@elisdewaard1

106000 times i mean:$

[alise99]

I dig...

[dgate007]

How about where Bono licks Obamas asshole like an Irish whore?

[madcowhunter]

Really not bad. Id say it's nice. But you should really change your camera

[JesseEley07]

So incredibly good! You're a talent. I am also a hughe fan of U2. I went to the concert in 2006 in Melbourne. Woah- unbelievable!! I am also practicing this song constantly and a lot and others like it. What delay do you have it set on and what type of delay do you have? Cheers!

[Caribbedich]

This was fairly good

[sheffieldgeek]

are you trying to look like the Edge as well? lol nice effort.. btw get a Gibson then we can rock U2

[VPSMusic]

Muito bom !!! Parabéns !!! :)

[zsup2]

Love this cover. Hey wannabetheedge, thanks for those delay settings of 350ms 22 feedback and 73 delay effect, I just bought a gt 8 and am hoping to dial in a tone close to yours, what kind of bass middle treble settings did you use on your gt 6 ? do you use heavy strings ?, my herdim picks get caught on the higher thin strings.

[glorp896]

the edge and his overly consistent overly serious demeanor and constant hat...

THE EDGE, is that a concept name?

U2, the most overrated band of the 80s...

[theDIEHARDGATORFAN]

You rocked my socks off!!!

[Ragman72]

Great stuff man! I work out that song currently myself too

and I could take this and that from your version.

Well played andI can see the passion you put into this song.

[MyBestBUDDYIsAGoat]

One of my favorite songs!!! Your version sounds great!!! U look like u were having fun!!!

[jambear100]

i agree 3years in cool int it!!!!

[Kopihucky]

nice to see you getting into the music so much. few people understand or love music enough to feel it

[4eyed4stringer]

That was GREAT! Man, you got every little nuance down. Fantastic job!

[romeobravo78]

I use delay setting of 172 bps w/ 45% mix and 55% fdbk.

Sounds spot on

[usageeko]

Sweet dude. Hey do you know what milliseconds your delay is at?

[waiouru1962]

"By no means perfect"??? Man, that is Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!

[PartScavenger]

Seen a bunch of YouTube covers of this song today, yours rocks!

[missyA1958]

Awesome Work, Best Of Luck to You!5/5

[elisdewaard1]

good job man. no keep practice!;)

good luck

[TheRaf1972]

excellent !!!!

[MUSICofHECTOR]

you can tell how much he really loves the music by that smile he has on when he plays that first riff at 0:33

[gilisfloyd]

thank god for guiness!! nice vid...

[lucastactical]

AWESOME MATE !!!!

[CAMPBELL1954]

....this is great stuff .......keep it up

[platypus312]

[Camouflage212]

Excellent job. I agree completely with BBCater's comment. Keep at it, You've got some real talent.

[23Vanguard23]

I'm swimming in a sea of envy right now.

[jimmychong1990]

cant stop watchin lol, a youtube phenomenon in the making :)

[jimmychong1990]

fucking sweet my man i had goosbumps at the intro you the man. keep it up :)

[hisvorpalswords]

dude. nice

[stantonshred]

good stuff man! are u irish ?

[29396]

ZOMG it's the edge!!!

well done mate,

[UnforgettablyFired]

what kind of distortion is he using along with the delay?

[HiggsFenderU2]

Some of the drive comes from the Herdims!!! But you're right, he is using a light Distortion/OverDrive!!! Matt.

[rj7831]

I can't say or add to BBCater 's comment because he has said the same as I would and I agree just keep it up and play your heart out that is where all music comes from the heart , you done great man would like to see more of your playing here.

[BBCater]

Nothing is perfect. Don't focus on the errors - or perceived errors. What I see is an honest and impressive effort to recreate something beautiful. And you've done it. This is impressive, and your emotional investment can't be questioned. I'm impressed and motivated to try something myself! Isn't that the purpose of art? Thanks for posting this. I can't get enough of it, to be honest.

[TheEdge080502]

@BBCater nice comment !!

[capitancitonino]

genial hermano. tocas como los dioses o sea the edge. eres lo maximo

[TheEdge1321]

i also have a strato and a les paul!

[itsloudman]

[christian7433560]

[divaldes]

ENORME!!!!! hello from Chile almost cried motherfucker! beautiful!!

[Wicapi74]

WOnderfull ***********  :-)

[bono7332]

are you The Edge Clon or what !! congratulations man...

[MadameHypnosesSlave]

DAMN DUDE! THIS WAS BAD ASS! My Girlfriend and I saw this together and I must say we both about creamed our pants.

[DartaYT]

Outstanding. This song makes me fly away...

[felixu2fan]

Great sound man, keep going!

[AstroninjaTV]

Fantastic and spot on. You look like you're enjoying yourself too :) I had the IMMENSE life changing pleasure of attending U2 in Melbourne. Flew all the way there from Singapore to catch them. It was totally breath-taking. I don't care that Bono flies to Africa in a private jet to help starving kids. At the end of the day, strip away the politics, the media blitz, and what you have is a legendary and mindblowing live band that is U2. Great job :)

[msorensenmusic]

nice jon man. what delay pedal were you using, and how many milliseconds was it set at?

[uconnthabeet55]

=)=)=)=)

[chavciaz]

brilliant mate! i dont suppose you could send us a copy of the tabs you used for this? it would be very appriciated

[poindexter3000]

I can see the tricky part is with your pick hand!

[noturno03]

the Ed Clone : )

[umacs4]

Just FYI the name of U2s guitarist is the edge

[CinemaKev24]

Nice job man! One of the best I've seen. Are you recording with a webcam, digital camera or camcorder? Thanks...

[samantha5695]

VeryVeryGood ;)

Ay up this is johny b mate good job but dont give up the trains you son of a gunn

[vipermawn]

great job man, love U2, this is one of my favorite songs, very nice!

[guitarshredda2]

awesome job man

what do you use for delay, a pedal or is it built into your amp?

[Asstricks]

This is awesome dude! I've seen your other covers and you have totally inspired me to pick up my guitar again after two years of not touching it and get back to practicing (it was how you said you don't need fantastic gear to get that sound) - I'll work on getting vids up of my progress.

Two final words:

Thank you!

[brandonk129]

excellent song, excellent playing of the song

[oaschlogin]

the only thing i can say is WOW ... perfect sound .....  live your dream dude ^^

[clmsntigr113]

You are really sick! U must reallly study Edge's licks. Nice job!

[milu8383]

You are truly a talent...I've watched pretty much all your videos. I've never seen such a precise cover of this song, and all the other songs as well....keep at it brother. I hope, if you already haven't, put together a cover band or something (or have a band of your own)....it'd be a shame if you didn't. Keep at it bro! Cheers mate!

[LIVE7STRONG]

Awesome Job Bro! Great sound!!

[bonofide]

Dude you videos are "vintage"

(that means awesome by the way)

[tkowalski221969]

That's awesome...... Excellent job.....

[uconnthabeet55]

wow!! its perfect. loved listening to it

[youletleila]

beutifful

[wrigleyx]

[111123ass]

Ur fukin awsome, if u dnt mind, wat is ur delay set to?

[leftjab19]

[Losecke]

I don't know what to say! This is excellent!

Thank you WannaBeTheEdge!

[peterhawk5]

super!!!!!!!!!!

[youngman44]

Brilliant. Fabulous. Love it. Would you mind describing the equipment you are using and the settings? Thanks. All your stuff is great.

[Paladin301]

Sensational, really brilliant

[zemanel600]

fantastico

[americanpitbull04]

U2 are saints. Their music touches people around the world, regardless of race, color, creed, politics, age, gender, finances etc. Celtic Saints! march 2,2009 U2 ''no line on the horizon'' !!!!

[lazarush1980]

Bravo my good man!!

Outstanding for an amatueur...I live in Dublin and frequently see Edge in his brothers restaurant here so ill tell him to check you out and to watch his back;) lol

happy new year edge

[6stringslover]

I love U2's music and how Edge play guitar, specially this great song.... You do it very good!! it sound's like U2 but with "your own touch".

Congratulations!!

[metallica0019]

ha fuck u look like him n all

[crazyade]

jonny b (bailey) - all impressed here watching your posing! merry christmas and have a great new year! cya next year

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Bless Ya!! And you all have a proper Chrimbo too!!

[mrmacphisto]

Hey wannabe, what's up. Kinda fell in love of all your videos. Just wanna see them over and over again. Masterfully played! When do you put new videos out?

cheers and merry xmas!

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Hi there and thank you very much indeed for your words. I'm hoping to create some new videos with excellent sound quality in the new year. I can't promise much on the picture quality as that's down to YouTube's processing and it's not great!! It'll be under a new account though, not this one. Peace!

[abdelwareth01]

excellent job .

[BBCater]

I've watched this dozens of times, and I can't help but comment. The ability to take a song that was so popular because of its lyrics, and transcend it into an instrumental piece is so impressive. It's a testimony to the talent of the Edge, and to you as well. I'd almost rather hear this version than the completed studio version. Inspiring.

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Thank you and thank you for your understanding of what i do on here. Peace!!

[Bojika123]

very nice!

[aslerner]

Pretty darn good, man!

[playing90]

Awsome! What delay are you using? Can I just some ordinary delay or is it spesific?

By the way, you're playing so fast that the camera is recording back in the stoneage, or stoneEdge ;p

[Kniner7]

Squier?

[AudioWave21]

Awesome Cover on this, but try using the Korg SDD 3000 that's what the real edge uses, but hey your close to being "even better than the real thing" lol peace dude u rock

[americanpitbull04]

dude your by far the best u2 cover i have heard on youtube!!!!!

[awsomethingsmax]

same here!

[Damoes]

Yo Darren, when can we expect some new material man? Youtube just aint the same thing without you posting some kick-arse vid's once in a while.

[chano800]

you look like edge :D

nice playing

[samirmsaken]

nice!!

[poindexter3000]

what delay do you use?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

It's the inbuilt digital delay in the Boss GT6 unit.

[r2on]

Next to your guitar playing, which is awesome, I have to say your shirt and hat fit perfectly :D

[Joengen]

Great! As you say, the sound is not quite the same, but it's not necessary. I wonder how you played the chorus part. Willing to explain?

[Bones2196]

5 out of 5 sounds CRAP so I'm gonna say 1,000,000 out of 1,000,000 cause this is brill

[yearofrolling]

aced it man

[jks2]

that was great man! and the color of the guitar is cool, nice warm red finish a little darker then fiesta red

[javiercristian06]

hasta el ultimo detalle, muy buena tu interpretacion, genio..

[MistertheK]

Wow,great job man! ;-)

[stylechecker2009]

well!! a class apart!!!

splendiferous!! you have along way to go..

mAY GOD BLESS

[506thpirunit]

great job man. I wish it were still the 80s.

[orangewizard]

80's shmeighties...Great music like this transcends the boundaries of time!

[tbhicbf2lmfao]

The harmonics at the beginning are good. this is amazing. I dont know if you have heard of Angels and airwaves, but they have a song which is in two parts... download them if you can. they are called True love and star of bethlehem. the arpeggiated riff at the begining, they have stolen it. i shouldnt slag them off cos they are my other favouite band... but purely because i think the music is similar to u2's! ahaha. let me know what you think of them songs. xoxoxoxoxo

[SLK0230]

i loooove AVA haha but which part do you say they stole?

[theboyedge]

they havent exactly stolen the same part, they have a similar sound, and that song i use a delay and it works perfect for AVA and streets (as in tempo)
