  • i need a tab for this

  • Aaawesooomeee!! Been listening to this over and over again and it sounds so great. The best cover on the internet IMO. Perfect delay settings and sound. I just wish I could play like that! I love U2 and this is one of my favourite songs. Great!

  • Awesome cover man! I would love to see you try Pink Floyd's Echoes. The middle section solo of that song is very similar to the solo here - spine chilling high pitched chords. Someone commented on another video those chords are like the sound of creation itself.

  • Great job for this beautiful song. Edge's delay is here and it works perfectly ;-)

  • nice! 

  • beautifull !!!!

    !

  • I am listening your videos sherm in my job - good relax. I will never have sense for timing like you but delay is an amazing for playing. Thanks to Edge :)

  • I love the mix of live version and studio version.

    F*ckin' lovely stuff....

  • hey I did my own cover based on this version, I'll upload it soon & post the link here

  • 6 person dont like that !?? dont let them have internet !!

  • WOW!!! Magnificen!!!! The sound is excellent!!!!

  • Download the audio from this video at tubepull doht cohm.

  • Just Awesome!!!!!

  • well played! is that the early 50's strat ?

  • :D!!!! can you tab the song you are playing? please??

  • The Force is strong with you Sherm!!!

    J want to thank you,Mick(Mick3b1g,(Yoda,jedi master,Edge 2.0))...U2guitartutorials,Stil­wel,U2john316,Trabant1989.Edge­985(grande Fabri)..for all your videos!!

    Ciao cheers greetings from Italy!

  • man....you are so great..outstanding tone..

  • thats class, i love it. dont suppose sherm911 you would show me the tab just for the main riff.

  • Dude, i cannot stop watching this and just loving the sound. Sounds like the track was taken out of the song and played by it's self.

    Great job.

    Where did you get the tabs for this? Obviously you are advanced enough to figure shit out but where could us stiff fingered pickers find it.

    Thanks.

  • thank you,

  • nice, tabs?

  • I'll say it again, just great, I can't say enough. The little nuances. You make it look so easy...

  • Awesome.

  • This is awesome, I have tried so hard to master this song without any success.

  • Still the best version on YouTube

  • Who the fuck is Mr Nutsack ? How can you possibly have any complaints about this version. just wonderful stuff Mr Sherm, keep playing an posting....

  • waow so great

  • PERFETTO

  • Great cover man! The effects are just amazing! Really only echo? Not a boost or something? Great work!!

  • Nice job Sherm.The most useful video I've

    encountered in my efforts to pick up the nuances

    of my favorite U2 tune.

  • Pretty close to the real thing...especially opening notes sound great. 1:13 to 1:120 part doesnt sound right though...but overall great job! 8 out of 10

    Sounds a tiny bit high too high pitched and clingy at points...I think you are damn close though...

  • Comment removed

  • fukn class...sherm rules!!!

  • what echo are you using??Please mail!! more vids great!!

  • Hi there I love your tone!!!

    I think the light distorsion is perfect.

    Can you please tell me the settings of your patch about distorsion (amp type, gain, volume, bass, mid, hi, presence).

    Thank you, great job man

  • Sounds fantasic! Keep it up.

  • awsomeee!!!

  • OH MY GOD... I just can't breathe... you are just awesome... I know this is not so hard song to play but... when Im listening to it, Im just freezing, you know what I mean? just perfect

  • Just brilliant. Other than the 'live' Love is blindness solo this has always been my favourite Edge moment and this video is just stunning. My best wished to you Sir ;-)

  • My peasant ears can't tell the difference between you and The Edge!

  • Thank you Sherm. You are marked on favorites.

  • great man excelent... you sound simply amazing.. but its not just the strat and delay.. i heard vibrato... smooth pitch or octaver and distortion..... just like the edge XD

  • I second what U2PEACE1 says... your work is stunning...the tone is sonic. You are what the edge is...a great artist. keep the vids coming!!

  • Rob, you just keep stunning me... What you do with a guitar is incredible... What's special with you other than the rest of the guitar covers of U2 on youtube is that you play what the edge plays while adding some of your stuff (embellishments etc...) ROCK ON!!

  • f*cking great, man! really very good! i can listen it for hours!

  • I'm mad about the way you play this song.

    I could listen to it for hours!

    Have you ever tabbed it?

    Congratulations

  • Superb, really superb. Are you Edge in disguise??

  • if he aint...he's gonna b a bloody good stand in....yes??..lol

  • oh ya @sinister066, you better believe it

  • There is soul over there. This notes, this feeling... congratulations!

  • You re great.

  • Great. You prove that an electric guitar on its own sometimes suffices. Ok you're a great player.

  • Let me borrow your fingers PLEASE, only for a day or two!!!

    just beautiful notes, timing, harmonics, feeling

  • the best cover of this song i've ever heard. Fantastic!

  • i fear its no cover, but the original

  • fucking beautiful man, like the edge same passion here

  • such perfection, but why only 41,000 viewings?

    Now if you looked like Susan Boyle there would be 41 million views!!

  • Let's keep this man apart from the mass.

    Just so we can listen to it without hysteria, plain guitar..... sherm you rule!

  • Classic Strat and echo (and talent, say, like yours?) :P  you're great

  • Merci..hâte d'être au sdf le 12 juillet...catégorie OR

  • wicked

  • je suis sans voix ... j'ai jamais entendu mieux! c'est quoi comme guitare/ampli ?!!

  • Perfect..

  • Man, you are The Edge... confess. lol

    INCREDIBLE!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!

  • Brilliant!!!

  • What is the guitar? Cort G 200?

  • unreal

  • shit bro u got it! awesome!

  • God bless you and your talent my friend!

  • Damn Sherm, there are some awesome covers of U2 (Edge), but I have to say, you kick ass.

    Close you eyes folks and listen...you'd swear it was Edge himself playing.

    Good work and I look forward to more of you work.

  • Every U2 guitar cover you do has been flawless from what I've seen... this video here is no different. Great work.

  • what length echo are you using?

  • Maybe your best work so far (and maybe one of my all time U2 favorites). I'm amazed by your talent ! It's a pleasure to see your videos. Keep up the good work ! :)

  • that is the finest cover of that tune i have ever heard...just a joy to watch and listen to..gets better every time.

  • sherm, if edge ever falls ill during a tour...your the man.

  • the only sad thing is i think artists still have to perform even when they're ill. sucks huh?

  • Wonderful. I'd give my left nut to be able to play with that skill.

  • @bandquk practice, patience and dreaming out loud. one step at a time, and you too can do it!

  • could you maybe do the vid again showing us your fingers! I cant get the picking-technique right!

    I´d be very glad! Thx

    Youre a great guitar player by the way !!!

  • Had this on my fave's list for months. It gets better every time. If I didn't see it with my own eyes I'd say it was no-one but the Edge himself. Absolutely brilliant.

  • Goodness me!! absolutley incredible!!

  • Goodness! I closed my eyes and listened and I almost thought that I was there 'live' with the ac30, hoards of jumping, crying girls and bono giving all he's got. Amazing! I'm gonna try this song when i get my amp/delay.

  • AWESOME! Edge is so underrated!

  • Been listening to you and others for a couple of months now. This rendition does NOT require a backing track; this song and your playing evoke the emotion that music should. Yes a classic Strat and echo........... plus your playing make this what it is. Excellent

  • Awesome dude. You're the only guy on youtube who rightly represents The Edge. Google guitar backing tracks. I'm sure you will find that site to your liking. Also, I'm an aspiring guitarist, and I want to own a strat just like the one you have here. I can't afford it though. But if you could tell me exactly how you're getting your delay/echo, I would be most grateful.

  • take some time and yes I know how hard this is to come by nowadays, look over some of his vids, even the ones that you may not like, a lot of what he does with his sound, i.e., guitar, amp and the Digitech processor are right there to look at, analize and use to your benefit; happy playing; isn't the sound of a guitar mezmorizing

  • Of course I was not implying that this rendition required a backing track. I just thought that maybe Sherm911 would like to try these renditions with the help of a backing track. With that aside, the sound of a guitar is indeed mezmorizing. A long time ago, when I decided to pursue music, I started with drums/percussion. I found it to not be nearly as fulfilling as the melodic attributes of a guitar. Happy playing to you as well.

  • Can u "dial in" the delay time on this unit? Ive read that it is much easier/faster to get the correct delay on units that u can see the milisecond amount

  • Great fan of your work.

    Hope to see more videos.

    Greetings from someone who enjoys your sounds across the atlantic.

  • dude i am watchin your vids A LOT. cant wait to play along with you :-) thankx for inspiration!

  • Please please tell me, what amp you are using and what delay pedal u are using?

    also did u replace your pickups at all, if so with what type? thanks

  • Click on sherm911 and view the profile. I listed my gear there. Short list actually. :)

  • Since the moment you started to play I just knew you was going to make that guitar cry...awsome..., you really sound like the edge

  • This is an amaizing tribute sherm! Your tone is amazing! Hope to see some more vids soon!

  • Ahhh...sounds so good, I wish I could listen to that live in my house

  • I absolutely love this piece! Anwesome job!

  • c est carrément excellent!!!! great!! fantastic!!! mad!!! you're a great guitar player...please share with us your marvellous sound!!

  • Excellent Version. It sounds exactly like The Edge. Awesome Playing. Kudos

  • why are all your videos gone?

  • YOu are the fucking MAN brotha!! EXCELLENT!! The best I have seen to date...

  • Sounds great!, what do you use for the effects? I have a digtech RP-80 and can't get anything like your sound...

    ps do you have a tab for this?

    Thanks

    KR

  • This rendition along with all your others continue to inspire, Sherm. BTW, I love the set of notes played from 4:20-4:30 - they add so much to the build up before the solo, IMHO. I wish he'd play that part again...

  • Just one word....." Fantastic "

  • amazing

  • muy buen toque pero nada con the edge el mejor de todos .

  • Great man !! Almost like The Edge !

  • Awesome dude, very nice arpeggiation

  • Very nice!!

  • I've watched this video about twenty times. Chills every time. Absolutely incredible version. WOW!

  • Very nice, it sounds fantastic!

  • don't you use Digitech RP1 ?

  • RP12

  • stunning

  • great job bro.

  • In*****credible.....Great job!

  • This is awesome. After listening to this version I have been trying to play this song, just posted a video with it, I still don't get it right though, am a beguinner...Your version is the best I have seen of this song.

  • bravoo good job, very good!!

  • thanks for the uv backing track mate. i tried to do this song as well but with my skills and a £150 guitar and £20 pedal it didnt quite sound as good.have a look if u get time. keep up the good work my friend

  • This sounds relly good=)

  • MAGNIFIQUE !!!!

  • Outstanding...simply outstanding! Very inspirational style...just like The Edge.

  • Really impressing. What a nice play for one of the best songs I'm a U2 fan for more than 20 years. I've jut began in playing guitar, but my pre-settings are unfortunately far away from the real ones. Could you please help me? Ty.

  • my god sherm, u really rocked out this one! great sound man, keep going!

  • thank you ... now i want to go and play my piano for an hour

  • You're awesome!! Can't stop watching and listening!

  • Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I got a cool fortune cookie the other day that I thought described The Edge.....said "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". This stuff isn't too hard actually. Lots of guitarists out there who's skill blows my mind.

  • edge owns this style. after a couple of riffs you know who it is, or should I say, the 2 possibilities #1 edge #2 sherm

    yes it is relatively simpler than say Hendrix, but edges sound is also mesmerizing

  • u r so right mate...sherm is as close as it gets...wish i had a small piece of both thier talents.

  • Diley

  • Holy shit....Edge..? Is that you...? Brilliant.

  • absolutly spot on. iv watched a few ov ur videos & to me they seem note 4 note,(brilliant)& thats what matters 2 a normal u2 fan.take no notice of them pedantic guitar players ther,re just jelous! look 4ward 2 hearing sum more.

  • GREAT SOUND,NICE PLAYING

  • Very interesting version. I always enjoy when a guitarist plays the bass notes too. You seemed to add a few notes here and there that the Edge doesn't play but it all came together and sounded great.

  • you are absolutely brilliant the same effect of the edge very good i hope one day i can play the guitar like you

  • WOW! that was so cool, its such a great sound.

  • whats the name of this effect???thanks

  • I'm a guitar player (newbie compared to you!!) and all I can say is WOW!! Thank you and loved watching your video...now to watch it a few more times to watch your hands!

  • Each time listen i wanna cry...so beautiful

  • I wish you were my brother, my sun, or my boy friend, so I could listen to you every hours of the day at home.

    Keep up. Bravo bravissimo!

  • Yeah.Remember buying my first digital delay pedal some yrs ago.

    Had hours of fun trying to be "the edge",it's the best pedal money can buy.

    Even now in my late 30's,I'm still having hours of fun trying to emmulate my guitar hero!!

  • nice!

  • Its all about getting the delay frequency right.Its a simple tune to play.

    Sherm has nailed it though!

  • No argument ANEMYLLAB. There are many guitar players that work harder at learning and becoming proficient than I have. I don't deserve the credit they do. The digital delay is almost a videogame "cheat" for guitar. I just play by feeling, trial and error, and little else. Luckily for me my favorite group does too....

    ;)

  • What digital delay did you use? I have a Boss "Giga Delay" and wondering what settings (delay time, etc) you used that I might try to use myself. Thanks and great job!

  • Excellent!!!!

  • ΠΩΩΩΩΩ!!!!! ΤΕΛΕΙΟ!!!!

  • This is just fan-tas-tic!

    Please play With or Without you!

  • what are the chords for main riff? thanks

    P.S. nice guitar playing

  • Great sound, fantastic!

  • AMAZING XXXXX

  • OMG!!j'm speechless!! Ciao from italy!! please can u tell me the right setting of the delay!!!

  • beautiful man ,would you please share the tunning of the guitar thanks

  • If the Edge is God then Sherm is the son of God!

  • Great man ! Awesome song and awesome band...

  • god job man ;D

  • I just LOVE it!! I can't stop listening it!!! Can you try 'Love Is Blindness'?? PLEASE??

  • yep - well played with lots of feeling. Do you down tune your guitar for this ?

  • If you would step on stage with Bono, Adam and Larry instead of the Edge... People wouldn't even notice!!!

  • Dudeeeeeeee! You've made me love Edge even more, although I've been a fan for 25yrs now. This is extremely well done. Stay the same mate.

  • Simply Awesome!!!

  • Inspirational... I'm back playing guitar after listening to you brother! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • Ouf ! You sure know how to play that strat. You have real talent, it's not all to have the equipment, you have to have the soul that goes into your playing, and this is a very good exemple. Wish I could play as well as you :)

  • u are awesome man, iv'e been playing 1.5 years, i just hope I can get that good as soon as possible

  • Very very good... It's like The Edge sound!! excellent, please con you tell me the effect (wich delay)??? do you use a VOX??? I think so!

    tnx

  • Very Very Very good....

    the best cover I've ever heard of a U2 song...sounds almost exactly like the edge!!

  • Excellent and unique cover! Specially the solo part, brilliant!

  • Hi Rob

    Good work man, good sound - you've nailed it.

    I'm thinking of getting that amp, can it be played at low volumes and still sound good? Could you compare it to a vox ac30? (no seriously) Any problems with it other than heavy and loud?

    Cheers

    Buzz

  • best U2 covers on YouTube.

    You make me wanna throw my guitar away in shame.

    Excellent work! :)

  • is it possible to get thoses videos

  • Awesome!!

    I know nothing about guitars and stuff, but that has to be quite a performance. Sounds just like The Edge!

  • That shit was unreal. Man. I was left just sitting there looking at my axe feeeling very very blown away.

  • Strat U.S.A 4ever. I play your music in my car when i drive home late at night, just great!! thanks for that.

  • Wow. I guess I'll have to post more for ya! Thanks for the nice comments!

  • EXCELLENT. Several nuances make your playing better than the edge himself. If you dont mind me asking what was your signal path and what products did you use in it?
