Your performance is fantastic! This is a U2 song I'd like to eventually cover myself. You certainly have some of the best equipment for performing U2 music covers.
dude this is great! that solo sounds perfect well done! why don't you try 'love is blindness' live sydney (zoo tv tour) great solo in there I'm sure you could crack it :) keep up the good work!
Pat inspired me to finally do a tutorial for this song. It will be done soon. Cover is up at U2GuitarTutorials. Pat, where have you been? Hope all is well.
I have seen U2 live four times, and I have clear that if ever the guitarist (Edge) of the band, has a problem, you'd be a great solution for them. You're a great guitarist, really.
honestly when i hear the sound of the edge live i can't believe that sound and those notes can exist and how he got the idea (i'm speaking of the beginning of the guitar espescially, but i'm not a guitarist, maybe it is a well knwon effect and i shoudn't be that impressed?to me it is like really different notes that are mixed together). So you are the one who reveals us it exist, because for me it was impossible to reproduce, and you did it.
i just have one question. what do you do for a living? How do you afford such beautiful guitars lol. I also noticed the rickenbacker guitar in the background and the nice tv haha just wondering
The echo park is decent. If i were you i would head into the direction of the DD 20 or maybe the Nova delay. Since there is so many different songs that require delay from U2 ur gonna need somethin with presets and tap tempo.
Ditto. Both are in my top 5 U2 songs list..live versions that is. If you need someone to play the chords for Walk On give me a shout :) Sadly if you did do that no one would ever view it becuase i stink :(
Holy crap i cant get over how good u r. This is my second comment to you and like my 1st one I have one more request. The ulitmate guitar song by u2 in my opnion is 11 o'clock tick tock. Red Rocks version is awesome but then again so is the Irving Plaza one. Im a very amateur guitar player and have had very little success even coming close on that song.
What type of distortion are you using for the outro here? I think Edge uses the DB-1 now days for it, but you don't have it listed in your description. It's probably a model from the DM-4 your using, but which one?
By the way, when are you going to start uploading some more vids man?!
Would you ever consider giving lessons? You should absolutely teach a class about playing U2's songs on guitar! You'd be the best teacher ever! How'd you get so good, and how do you learn what effects pedals and stuff to use?
Hey man, your cover of this rocks and is dead on for the Boston/Slane recordings. I've got a DM4 as well and never thought to use it for this song (I always played it with an OD-2). So, I'm dying to know, what model on the DM4 do you use?
i think im gonna get one because it seems like i could cover a good amount of ground decently and without spending the $ on a boost, an overdrive, a distortion etc...
You smooth yourself moving from fret to fret you will one day be very good at guitar. U2 is my favorite band and you played just like them in that song. Rock On!
There wouldn't be much guitar. The main sound is either Adam or a backing sound, because in the Popmart Concerts Edge just played a few little backing high-pitched slides. Great song though. :)
How hard is it to set dotted 8ths on the D-TWO? Do you have to tap out the rhythm? Or does it have a setting like the Nova Delay has or the Boss DD-20.
Sounds amazing man - you might wanna 'stagger' the slides in the solo - and there is a little triple on the end where your using a 2 note tap. My hats off though - superb!
Ralqh, where did you get this tab? none of the ones I have sound right :S if you figured it out yourself, could you please tab it for me?? pleaseee *puppy eyes*
