One question: how to use the triad with the Axe Fx? the send - return or imput? Using the Axe Fx plugged into a power Bogiee Mesa 20/20, where it enters the triad?
Hi Ralph, It is encouraging to see and hear you jaming with edge this way, from the point of view of, there you are in your flat doing your thing. This open E thing, I dont get that, you do a cool version, besides who cares man.
awesome job bro! in the intro you have to let high e ring. i don't know if you know that but felt like doing it slightly different just for your own flavor. but this is definitely the best cover on the tube
in the slow part where you're taking natural harmonics with that fast move of hand do you mute strings? if yes, what is that for. as I understand the n.h. sound stops if muted.
Out of all the Edge tributes on YouTube, this guy comes the closest. One thing tho (geek alert, I know, I'm a dork): You need to play the open E string throughout the main riff.
Ill have to respectfully disagree. Watch the original U2 video on YouTube. Theres a close-up shot of the intro riff. Only 2 strings are vibrating. Its very clear. Curiously, I have 2 official U2 books from Hal Leonard publishing. One tabs it out on 2 strings, the other using 3. Even experts disagree. I still come back to the old vintage music video on YouTube. Very clear on that closeup 2 strings. Ralqhs version just sounds more accurate when played side by side with the original audio.
My bad. U are correct - open E on main riff. He plays it that way as far as I can tell. Controversy between people about whether G string is involved in main riff. One book says yes, the other says no. It's definitely only played on B & E (open E included) on the original U2 video. Ask him - I think he'll agree that he plays an open E on this video.
I see what you mean about the overdrives in the Axe FX compared with your stompboxes, they do seem more convincing in your recordings where you have the sobbat etc. Great job though. Flawless.
Hi, I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting the Axe-FX. How easy is it to create the patches, particularly for copying Edge sounds? There are a few patches created on axechange but not many. I think they should have one of their tech guys sit down with some U2 cd's and create a few more...
Awesome mate - can I add One, Into the Heart and 11 o'Clock Tick Tock to the list please. I am trying to learn to play some of these but after 30 years playing guitar, I still suck - never mind I can only get better !!!!
hey can i get some details on the explorer (year model, pickups and price)
