Great vid man! do you have any suggestions for a live rig I don't have the axe fx is there a pedal that can give you "shimmer" I have several delays Boss DD20, Line 6 DL4, MXR Carbon Copy, that also has modulation I also have the Boss RV5 Reverb but can't really attain shimmer from that, though it does have a modulation setting.

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@FunknGrvn: Sure, just get a Line 6 Verbzilla pedal. It does a decent shimmer I'm told. But you will have to connect it in parallel to your signal path I think.

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[volfoni91]

perfect demonstration !!!!  thx Michael

[bigtimpalmer]

For those of us not lucky enough to have a Axe-fx, the Behringer RV600 reverb peddle does a decent job of Edge's Shimmer (so does the line 6 verbzilla i hear but not used it myself.) 

[jmsantamaria]

hi Michael, great tutorial!!,but how you do the shimmer sound??

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@jmsantamaria:

See the other parts of the tutorial. I use the Axe-Fx multi-delay, filter and reverb for shimmer.

[iwantt0beme]

What guitar u use ? Fender black beauty ??? or strat

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@iwantt0beme:

I review the guitar in an earlier tutorial. It's a "frankenstrat." I built it with Custom Shop parts (neck and body). Has Hotrail pups and a Fernandez sustainer built in by a professional guitar tech.

[iwantt0beme]

@U2GuitarTutorials

sounds expensive .

what guitar would you recomand me for to play u2 style , not to high price please ,

i wanna but some delay's or something , like u've got...

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@iwantt0beme:

Try one of the MIM (made in Mexico) Strats. Edge uses many guitars but the Fender Strat is a good start. A great beginner delay is the Boss DD-20. It has a good modulated delay, which is what you want for U2. Modulation is key.

[iwantt0beme]

@U2GuitarTutorials ooh , yeah i realy want a fender , telecaster or a strat ...

is a standard a guit guitar , cause i have a gibson studio les paul...

and the delay is for to use like u have , ?

[iwantt0beme]

@U2GuitarTutorials and like a board to use ...?

like a line 6 ... where u got everything u want in 1 ... or what would you recomand ... for all those basic effects from u2 ... i've allready got a line6 mini pod ...

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@iwantt0beme:

Line 6 M13 and M9 or very good all in one pedals. No all in one will give you everything you need. But it's a good start.

[iwantt0beme]

@iwantt0beme m9 vs m13 , 100 dollars (euro's for me ) between it ... what would you choose

[U2FANATIC07]

i just bought an eBow today so i could play this, thanks heaps for going through the intro, do u have the ebow switch to the left or the right?

[U2GuitarTutorials]

I forget. There should be instructions. You want normal mode, NOT harmonic mode. Harmonic mode takes it up to a higher octave. The shimmer does that later.

[bruceconnor]

Whats the name of the song at the start and end. + good tutorial :-)

[SonnyC79]

@bruceconnor  Arcade Fire - Wake Up. The song was played right before U2 came onstage during the Vertigo tour.

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@bruceconnor: Jeff on the U2GT group knew the answer: Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Do a search on YouTube and you will find it.
