[BigHoerby]

[smelliot95]

Great sound but the E string goes waaaay flat just after 2 mins...

[smelliot95]

nice sound but g or d string goes out of tune just after 2 mins...

[830atnite]

Rock on!

[melittlemate]

Spot on!!

[PoohNanny]

Totally blown away mate, that was fantastic.

How hard would it be to replicate the studio (castle? haha) version? For example the live version steered away from the rigid drum pattern of the original studio version, as well as Edges guitar... I don't know, it just sounds more "acousticy" live whereas the studio sounds much more "synthetic". Know what I mean? I've never heard anyone come close to the studio version not even U2 themselves!

Great job, haven't seen this. Reading thur comments below I agree with much of what you say, it's easy to over do this guitar riff, to much reverb, delay, etc etc I will always play this on guitar so much fun to play. I have difficulty attempting to bridge the live version with the studio version.

[smartti1970]

is it all your cover with some drums from some software or ?

do we hear the edge in the mix in the background track ?

[biodot88]

Good start but beginning harmonics off, rhythm off. Why are you pausing? Get that whole arm moving up and down with some confidence and cadence and lower your guitar a bit. And bring the picked notes down to frets around the nut using way more open strings to ring out. He fills all over the place with harmonics all over the b string. And the rhythm has some open low and high e in there. Work on the fills. And the solo doesn't pause it fills on the b string harmonic around 12.

[BH4462Z]

you nailed it; yes many like alittle more warm overdriven tone, but your tone is great, always that struggle between live and studio sound, delays right on the mark !

I've always wanted to be in a U2 tribute band. Have fun. It took me awhile to realize that it wasn't really them.

Hi, Brilliant.

Is there Modulation on both Delays???

Matt.

[CDM4347]

Sounds really good. What is the finish color of your strat? Thanks.

[ChillerTone]

Excellent playing and a brilliant advert for Cryo Pickups. the clarity of tone produced by cryo treated pickups is astounding spread the good word

[BH4462Z]

great gear, excellent cover

[unym]

great sound!!

[bobostar67]

great sound

[Mr7cs]

Great job! Great song!

[Senvee72]

Thank you!!!

[gunjack1981]

good job man! a little more of reverb and distortion would be better but it s already nice!!

[NearlyEdge]

Thanks!

I find that more distortion loses definition - I did try a bit more gain but it lacked the ringing highs that I think are essential. Maybe a liitle more...

Same for reverb - in some rehearsal rooms it's often not a good thing (or too many repeats or a high delay mix) and I guess I just always try to avoid too much of them - had too many "mushy" experiences!

[Edge985]

rocks! just the intro harmonics a bit off tempo. can you post your delay settings? serial/parallel, delay times? great cover, 5 stars!!

[NearlyEdge]

I can be a bit sloppy with timing (ask Bob the bass player in my band!) but I thought they were OK. But what do I know!!! ;-) I call it "feel"!

Settings are:

Dyna Comp / SDD Preamp - on all time

Intro / Solo: Delay 1 - 437, v. short, high modulation. Delay 2 - 456, v.short. Delay 3 - 429, higher feedback & repeats. All in series, plus a FET boost post delays.

Main song: Delay 1 - 456, v.short. Delay 2 - 429, higher feedback &repeats. All in series.

Thanks!

[Edge985]

THANKS MAN! what a speed!! thanks for sharing your knowlEdge and keep on playing ;);)

[Senvee72]

Good job, can you tell me settings you use for song and solo. i see you make a switch, thanx

[NearlyEdge]

Thanks, see above for settings.

[MrsLJTC]

Excellent - this is one of the best versions I've seen on here! Keep up the great work.
