Whenever I need some inspiration for learning to play U2 songs, I keep coming back to this video. Absolute perfection in tone and playing -- nice job, Mick.
I hope you and the band get back to Colorado soon.
mick this absolutely moving man...I cant tell what pickups your using though cuz of the modded strat...what would the equivalent be on the a normal strat? Bridge or Middle?
There are parts mixed together arent it? I think in the middle part I can hear some parallel scenes you recorded one by one and mixed them together, right?
Yeah true mate. One day i will get there myself! lol See Shem911 vids on here he has great tone and style also. I believe though there is no such thing as the worlds greatest guitarist. We all have our own style. The Edge is my fav player though because he plays simple but sounds awesome!
agreed, odd looking strat, however you can't argue with the sound, or the playing. Really enjoyed watching this

Awesome cover! Would you happen to have or know of a good tab? I've looked at a few online but I'm not sure if any are accurate enough.

@thebonodrums Its a P94 pup and comparable would be a bridge pup on a strat with maybe the tone rolled down slightly
