New York Tumble - Edge in Guitar Shops

[Catullus85]

I am almost certain that the song Edge is playing in the background from 2:12 - 3:21 is "Stuck in a Moment."

[EdgeFan567]

When I heard him say "In all honesty?" I was like of shit here comes the truth. lol

[mynameisreed1995]

what's the name of the second guitar shop they just looked into the window?

[mynameisreed1995]

nothin like Rudys :)

[scottieboyhottie88]

what is the name of that song at 2:21? It sounds like the Edge's singing voice

[HelterSkelterSOR]

3:17 those people push infront of a rock legend and dont let him into the shop first....WANKERS!!!

[PIlotrcm]

Edge hasnt been setting up his equip for so long that he forgot the time setting for "streets" ha ha

[edukaycheon]

@PIlotrcm the Edge's picks have delay built right into them and his right shoe has tap tempo

[Darryld1]

does The Edge have built-in delay or does he carry a bag of it around with him wherever he goes?

[margau25]

@Brianf2148: I believe it is also a Fender Jazzmaster and not a Jaguar.

[Brianf2148]

@margau25 Well he plays them both on this video. the Jazzmaster which he plays streets on and the Jaguar for Pride!

[tomthefunky]

(cont'd from below) Theater orchestras needed service and retail shops as well. During the jazz age in the twenties, the trumpet was the coolest instrument to play. So naturally the shops would cater to the tastes of the public. All those shops were originally brass and woodwind shops. When rock and roll hit, everything changed. Guitars became the big sellers. If you're ever on the corner, just think that those stores witnessed the entire evolution of twentieth century American music.

[bloc22]

@tomthefunky wow im from new york and didn't know that. thanks!

[bloc22]

@tomthefunky and how's that?

[tomthefunky]

I hang out at these shops all the time. Over the years I met Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews and Rick Nielson from Cheap Trick.

The reason why those instrument shops are clustered together on that little part of 48th street is because they serviced the entire music business for almost a century. Radio and T.V literally began right down the block at Rockefeller Center. Those orchestra musicians needed repair and retail shops in the neighborhood. You are also in the theater district. (CONTINUED)

[jughfreind]

surely they gave him some guitar hahhahhaha

[palonejr]

I could listen to the Edge play a little tikes kids guitar. It would still sound good. Thanks Edge for your music.

Bobby..

[alexneuquen]

3:36 aguante argentina!!!

[bolofofis]

Which is the guitar he is using while playing Pride in this video ?

[Brianf2148]

@bolofofis  Gretsch White Falcon

[bolofofis]

@Brianf2148

No it's not a Gretsch.

See it in 6:45

Which guitar is that ? Anybody knows ?

[Brianf2148]

@bolofofis Sorry my bad i thought you meant what he used in the Pride offical video! In this one his using a Fender Jaguar!!

[philotze]

Its out of tune so its 50 dollars off...I'm so gonna tell that when i try a guitar and say Edge said it. hahaha

[MyKeithH]

the three T's touch tone and texture the edge has them all in abundance, legend!!!

[spudmourph73]

edge is such a lovely humble man, u2 and nyc, its a match made in heaven, the worlds greatest band and the worlds greatest city, this was filmed in june 2001, i remember seeing it on irish tv then, little did we know what fate awaited nyc 3 months later, 911, god bless nyc and its people, the greatest on the planet

[HacjienceYukona]

Lol at how Dallas listens to a few seconds of the delay settings and goes, "Sounds familiar."

[wiivamphomebrew]

hahaha, the delay was wrong on streets! hahahahahah

[jangiew]

He has got such a beautiful voice love you "Edge"

[evh5150316]

Anybody hear any similarities to the beginning of Streets Have No Name and The Who's Pinball Wizard?

I might be fuckin crazy but I hear a bit of similarity there.

[ArrJayEss]

@evh5150316 Just looked it up. It's kind of the same rhythm. But not the same if you know what I mean. :-D

[crimsondynamo752]

They do not need to be employed in any other regard. These guys are doing exactly what they need to be doing. I love at least 99% of their stuff. Even that techno album was good and I don't even like techno. Achtung Baby is a masterpiece. I have to praise a band that is not enslaved to sales and records music they think is good even if it doesn't sell a trillion copies. Enough said.

[yankees1234577]

how do you hold the door open for The Edge without realizing it's The Edge?

[evh5150316]

I was just going to say that.

[whoiscuriousgeorge]

Hearing Edge play "Streets" on a Jazzmaster was a little jaw-dropping.

[imedi]

that man is a genius just love the sound he makes when he takes a gutiar in his hands

[kthorn612]

"We're pretty much unemployable in any other regard."

Heh, heh...like that.

[u2mc1]

streets........

[TheGavio93]

its the chords to Electrical Storm

[octoberguitaru2]

about that song at 2:26, i'll bet its just one of edge's own songs

[tjittosz]

Yeah, it is Dirty Day you're looking for.

[TheSarcasticShow]

Where are these Guitar Shops?

[masterofpuppets986]

i think they are in 46st...if you live in new york city ask the guards who work there i went to this store 1 ear ago and is pretty small

[2424jamjam]

Love the look on the assistants face when edge is in the 2nd shop. 'whos that? The Edge'

[6stringrebel]

perhaps "Dirty Day" off Zooropa?

[smoo70]

"streets" without the echo.

[seanfoxie]

My first thought was that is sounded like an adaptation of sunday bloody because of how he was singing the melody and he just changed the rhythm of the chords, but the more I listen the more I know that's not it... puzzling

[systh7]

what pedal does he use for that sound.

[Tye1st]

you can use any pedal, he uses racks.

[dukepoopscoop]

at 3:16 that bloke walks out of the shop totally oblivious to the fact that he has just walked past The Edge. ....I bet he would think now,"if only I stayed a minute longer...."

[Aardvarked88]

Looked like a metal head so it's doubtful he'd be aware of what he was missing.

[yutuubfreak]

whats the seocnd store he is in?

[TacooGrill]

manny's, but it closed down last year, and was replaced with a  sam ash.

[yutuubfreak]

oh wow didnt know that. PETER!

[FlowMephisto]

did you ever listen to Vertigo?

[MOCONKLIN]

It is where the streets have no name. Play it myself

[hypergidget]

Can you imagine the guitar salesman! What an honor!

[ilikestrudel28]

definantly where the streets have no name!

[bobjobobjon]

The song you ask for is probably just edge messing around

[NachoVox]

I believe that too

[diewabbit]

HELLUVA RHYTHM GUITARIST..

[Ognen11]

It's "Beautiful Day", without the echo.

[thomasrix]

what? um....

[whatetheslipknot]

That riff sounded the same as where the streets have no name

[alexs1422]

It was Where The Streets Have No Name...

[TopGearF430]

i think its the chord progression to Electrical Storm

[macpac22]

ha bono would never get away with strolling around new york like that

[u2forinterpol]

yeah i know thats probably why he's wearing the glasses

[blindpilots1]

that song sounds a wee bit like lay lady lay

[colbro06]

that's what i thought too

[spitfire71068]

Ah...West 48th St. Sadly, some of these guitar shops are vanishing, the worst case being Manny's Music. NYC has changed a lot in eight short years since this was made, but then, it always is changing. (I think the second shop he was in was Manny's.)

[kregconrad]

I could be wrong but judging from the couple of notes he hums. I think the song in question is Crimson and Clover by Tommy James the Shondells

[leafsrock93]

i think the song is Running to Stand Still

[runin2astndstill]

i wanna say that song you questioned is Dirty Day. Just sounds different without the effects/rest of the band

[ElMaure2008]

Hi everybody!

I think I´ve found out the chords for the song on 2:20..... First A-Chord (E5-A7-D7-G6-B5), then C#m-Chord (A4-D6-G6-B5), then G-Chord (E3-A5-D5-G4) and finally D-Chord (A5-D7-G7-B7)....!

You can also add a Bm-Chord (A2-D4-G4-B3-e2) instead of the D-Chord - that sounds great!

Good jammin´ !

See ya´ in Berlin

Servus

e-Moll

[NsHatch]

You can get a similar effect to the C#m, by playing the inside strings of the A with your fingers. Of course it sounds a little different, but for people that have problems switching between 6th string majors and 5th string minors, it flows better.

For the little chorus that comes in at about 2:38, the chords are E 5th string root, B 6th root, and back to A on the 6th.

[FilTonks]

he must be embarassed being a big rock star going into a guitar shop and then just playing a chord. Never mind, I'm sure his wealth, status and public adoration will soothe his bruised ego. But still...I know I would have had to leave because I would have cracked up.

[cooper13axle]

6:39 is great! His smile tells it all.

[PoeticRocker]

And thats why Fender Jaguars rock. :D

[koolynoodyano]

jazz master not jaguar... ;D

[Pidoloren75]

Maybe you still have to listen to their last album... If you stop creating, if you stop innovating, your band will start copyin' itself as Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovy...etc.etc.etc.

U2 are the only one example of innovation today.Without them,you wouldn't know killers,coldplay,FFerdinand and so on...

[macdaddylorenzo]

to each his own opinion. . . I think Zooropa is by far one of the coolest & trippiest songs I've ever heard . . . for example

[U2RoxMyWorld]

manzone604: lol! thanks for that:)

[caroy111]

Witch delay pedal is that?

[U2RoxMyWorld]

Hey! who the hell gave me a -1 for my comment: "I would give one of my kidneys to meet Edge?" wtf?!?!?!?

[americanpitbull04]

i just gave u a +1 hehehe does that make u feel better ?? hahahahaha

[U2RoxMyWorld]

Actually it *does* make me feel better, lol! Thanks:)

[americanpitbull04]

no problem dude, because u2 is the best band in out life times, and we as fans are all lucky to see and even better to see in a live concert =) i just gave a another green thumb hehehe peace

[U2RoxMyWorld]

Um, my husbands' a dude, so I guess that would make me a...'dudette?' lol:D

[americanpitbull04]

ok ok ,, dudette lol peace =)

[MisterKuss]

could you please post the next part of that documentary? Would be interesting to hear D. Lanois...

[bigrpb]

I agree with many of the comments here. Edge is an innovator and true creator. The guitar wasn't designed only to be played fast and to cram as many notes in as possible. It should be explored for it's possibilities. Edge has done just that. He is an amazing guitar player.

[NsHatch]

Exactly, if there was a "this is the way the guitar was designed to be played" way, then there wouldn't be any of that EVH-Vai-Satriani shred stuff, just Renaissance ballads.

[lukeee89]

that makes me feel so much better about my guitaring. i've spent hours and hours trying to get my delay to sound like where the streets have no name, and it shows you that to really get the proper sound you need his whole delay rig, since even he, the EDGE, can't make it sound quite right without the extra equipment.

still is the greatest guitarist in terms of melody. forget any soloing or improv skills, put down a chord progression and the EDGE will make it sound out of this world.

[xmacvicar]

I agree, Edge has one of the best styles in the history of rock n roll guitar. Most people who claim he is overrated are focused on high speed licks, and all this stupid unmeasurable guitar whacked out feats... that shit ain't real, its just wanking around. The D chord delay part he plays in With Or Without You is more powerful than all the notes of shred/lead guitars player combined.

WORD

[adestickbaby]

@xmacvicar The dude has his own style and I like that. Sometimes I wish there was no ego driven gun slinger mentality among many guitarists...but then again it can distinguish where someone is at in their musical tastes/(spiritual journey?). But I 'spose if he played keyboard no gun slinger would give a shit.

[ravi4lyf]

@xmacvicar Respect

[u2MRtheFLY]

@xmacvicar are you talking about the outro? i completley agree. so simple to play, but so powerful. some of the greatest songs in rock are the simplest riffs.

[gaskins4life]

He's actually not overrated at all he has one of the most original styles ever created. Just because he doesn't show off and try to be the fastest or heaviest doesn't mean he isn't amazing. They're songs would never be so popular if they weren't so great and you can't have an untalented guitarist writing amazing songs.

[Szartard]

48th street. Yay.

[U2RoxMyWorld]

I would give one of my kidneys to meet Edge!

[manzone604]

given thumbs up so its balanced now :) just so u knw it wasnt me...me too a great U2 fan ... the best there ever was, the best there ever will be

[HarleyJohansson]

true if you mean a guitarist as such. but you have to look at him in the context of the band and without him there would be no u2, obviously.

[MyGuitarStudio]

Excellent footage. Thank you.

[matthewosewelig]

i was at that strip of guitar shops and it took me ages to find lol , theres also shops that sell great brass instruments there

[bloodypizza86]

those chords looks so simple, but when The Edge plays it... well... only he can do that special sound.

I know 'cause all of U2 covers bands I've seen and heard

[nathols]

the song at 2:20 sounds like the chords for "dirty day" I could be wrong, I could be right.

[TerryTrust]

This man is my favorite guitar player, love his sound very much from 80s til now, every song! thanks for the video

[yutuubfreak]

is the second shop 30th street guitars?

[helegaran]

this guy is my IDOL

[3rdkray1]

The Edge is the coolest guy in the music world

[subinbar]

What's the song at 2:20?

[AngelOfU2]

I'd like to know what it is too.

[yourdestiny]

Actually, I don't think anyone knows :) No one seems to be able to figure it out

[subinbar]

Maybe it's some rare B-side. But I thought I had heard every b-side.

[NsHatch]

he was pretty much just jamming to himself. He should have made a song out of it, he was really on to something. I play it all the time myself, really got under my skin for some reason.

[Carelesshottie1]

when was filmed?

[yourdestiny]

Take a look at the description

[Soh2k8]

The first guitar was actually quite nice.

1964/65 sunburst Fender Jazzmaster.

However, the second guitar was much nicer. 1960's Metallic blue Fender Jaguar.

Glad he chose the Jaguar.

[NsHatch]

You think he could afford both, but he made the right choice.

[NachoVox]

OMG! I love you, long time ago this video was in youtube, but they erased it, thank you so much!

[yourdestiny]

You're welcome :)

[eastpak90]

whats the song for the 5:10?

[yourdestiny]

Where The Streets Have No Name

[NsHatch]

I wish this was like 2 hours long.

[prospectnyc]

I remember when they were in NY. They each had their own tour bus and it was parked around the perimeter of MSG. They also had like 3 or 4 tractor trailers with all their equipment. It was quite an army of vehicles !

[kowekokun]

does anybody now where is this video extracted from¿?

[SlickSmooth22]

i love The Edge's taste and the way he constructs the song and he uses the guitar as a well arranged orchestra.

[Soh2k8]

Nice guitar he looks at here! A true legend!

[coolperson32323]

i love how when he plugs in the guitar the delay is already on

[NsHatch]

His guitartech Dallas had it set up before he entered the shop.

[lintinthelaundry]

What's the name of the song at 2;13? Thanks

[NsHatch]

I'd also like to know what it is, it's been driving me nuts since I heard it a year ago. I don't know why, but this nameless tune is the one song that dedicated me to the guitar. I have striven to play it since then and recently figured it out, it is so simple if you would like to know how, but you do have to know barre chords.

[byron361]

is there more to this?

[Adamclayton1]

Wow! he's so good!

[manzone91]

A true legend unlike most on mainstream or on top100's. I dont care but the tunes,rhythms,style just make me shake my head and listen umpteen times. God bless you man! You're the best there ever was,there ever will be.
