U2 - Beautiful Day

[Pablo113]

FUCKIN RULES!!!!!!

[Pablo113]

You ROCK BITCH! Hahahahahahahah AWESOME!!!!

[ManuGuitar86]

Great!!

[DeRado27]

I hope you are gigging somewhere..... because it would be a waste not to do so! :)

[DeRado27]

Great Tone!!!

[FreakyDStyley]

This guy honestly does the best cover of Beautiful Day. I cannot even find tabs or staff music on the way he plays the verse or even his guitar solo part that starts at 2:06 to 2:42 (and by the way, I know he has the effects listed, but if someone could please explain to me which ones are being utilized to get that sort of angelic/harp like chiming sound). The only guitar player who is not my idol that I envy

[ShadowDog415]

well done!

[NORBERT539]

Put in you tube NORBERT539 great singer sings U2-you have to see it

[NORBERT539]

[meneerschillings]

wow man, a-ma-zing!

Greetz from The Netherlands

[KarateKristoffer]

Great! Keep on playing :-D

[tayama17]

That is AWESOME! Did you make the backing tracks?

[tayama17]

Were do you get the Korg A3 at? What type of effect pedal is it?

[Skyzer08]

is that a gibson explorer KORINA?

[BudMovies]

@Skyzer08 no, it's a gibson explorer in natural finish ;)

[WreckSauce1]

absolutely beautiful guitar. Awesome cover aswell, good job

[laminadeiras]

cara,vc é fera

[Evanwinkle15]

why doesnt he play the guitar after the four click after intro

[30NIGHTCRAWLER30]

Edge = Ralqh

[losabreyo]

i'm fan of you, sincerously!!!!!

[JimmyWhiteEdge]

Can anyone please tell me what effect he uses for the guitar solo from 2:07 to 2:42? I know he listed the effects he uses but I have no clue as to which one does what

[blackeagle1289]

@JimmyWhiteEdge i think it might be reverb or chorus

[JimmyWhiteEdge]

@blackeagle1289 Do you think he might be using it with the digitech whammy as well? cuz Ive tried using a chorus alone but I cant get that same sound

[blackeagle1289]

@JimmyWhiteEdge i dont know but to me sounds like a heavy chorus with flanger maybe?

[Rafal102able]

@JimmyWhiteEdge Pitch shifter

[JimmyWhiteEdge]

@Rafal102able Awesome, thanks man

[Macconator2010]

@JimmyWhiteEdge - Pitch shifter/octave sifter/whammy pedal all the same sought of thing. I use Digitech Whammy with the +1ocatve setting fully engaged on the expression pedal. I also use it for Pink Floyd's Marooned.

[JimmyWhiteEdge]

@Macconator2010 Awesome, thanks man, Ill have to give those a shot. Thats been the only part of the song thats been throwing me off

[FStukeee]

I would like to use this.. This is awsome! You are amazing! Keep going!

[Dreamvideos72]

@CJsoccer4 could that explain the problem?

[Dreamvideos72]

@CJsoccer4 Everywhere i look when i type natural i get a yellowy color. btw i live in france wou

[U2Billone]

you play it very differently than the edge but its still very good

[Zupin88]

excellent



[Dreamvideos72]

Dude what finish is this i can't find it i love the color! :D Awesome cover !

[CJsoccer4]

@Dreamvideos72 what?!? you cant find a gibson explorer in this color? they are everywhere!! the color is called "natural"

[blackeagle1289]

@Dreamvideos72 same kind of explorer as the edge too lol

[gould0453]

that was like perfect...

[MrGuitarrez]

Man, you're a student and in a little room with so many of those guitars and equipments. Why do you have study without without even taking your talent into consideration.???? You've blown me off my feet! Was kidding about the study part. Hope you and all the guys out there will fully realise your academic potential too.

[GreaterThan03]

omg awesome guitar, u r like the Edge lol but don't worry u have got hair still

[jorgeaugustodias]

Simply great!!!!



[MrDzemolada]

@14ewilson Because it is Grant Imahara from Mythbusters and he proves the myth which says that no one can play as Edge is not true.

P.S If i do spelling error, sorry but my english is low.

[noaraldino]

very good!!!!

[JimmyWhiteEdge]

What is the effect that is used for the solo?

[alfb99]

x plorer very cool

[DantonDK]

is it a gibson explorer 76' limited edition reissue model

[kenisinoregon]

Gotta love that tone

[G3kDxScOpEzz]

i love how his receiver looks like gold bars

[rstroker530]

good job man! digging the tone!



[kernowrock555]

superb buddy!... I think most of us U2 fans would give you a big round of applause! ..The explorer sounds great!

[DantonDK]

where did you get the explorer in that finish?

[weerab2323]

oooh dear 26 people were about to click the like button when his guys awsome skills make them have a huge erection and they jizzed their pants which caused a misclick

[StringBender567]

Perfect cover! :)

[SuperiFox]

Explorer? Want.

[SuperiFox]

I neeeeeed and explorer BAD.

[ikke9719]

I think you have a littlebit to much gain by the chords... my opinion ;) but overall amazing job with amazing gear :)

[jeremiahdsilva]

@ikke9719 Yeah Agree...The verse sounds heavenly though

[uruzeighteen]

What effects do you use for the solo at 2:07??

[Rafal102able]

@uruzeighteen Slow motion

[iLogan13]

Love, love, love your Explorer! <3 Amazing playing too!

[McGovern1992]

If we ever lose The Edge.... at least we have a spare!!

[labbern]

@McGovern1992 This guy is good, but no one can ever replace the Edge!

[jaqjaques]

not bad

[kbritobr]

great feeling. you definitely rock, man.

[61SGman]

Has this been pre recorded to make sure every effects sounds right?

[MrToyota1901]

grosse klasse dein doppelgriff..

bin ein absuluter fan deiner künste...

[hany259]

very nice cover man, i'm envious of the explorer

[CathayGuy]

This is great man! I wish you made more videos!

[elliot2500]

I prefer your version with the delay

[TheRoss1988]

good job, nice sound, amazing feeling with your guitar...you rock MAN!

[DizzaSizzla]

does anyone know where he got the track in the background of Beautiful Day without the singing? Reply appreciated.

[3DMentional]

@DizzaSizzla perhaps something like licklibrary com google for "guitar backing tracks" should find plenty of sources, I'm sure.

[3DMentional]

@DizzaSizzla guitarbackingtrack com/play/u2/beautiful_day htm

[ninomatias]

the sound and the video are not corresponding for me ? do you play 2 pistes of guitare or there is a guitare on backing track?

[krunoism]

Hey Ralf,

Fantastic mate

Harmsworth!!

[ADROTDG]

how much did you get the explorer for????

[relax235]

nice cover! but lol just cause edge happens to use an explorer on this song doesnt mean you have to use the same ;)

[ham123see]

when you make a cover, you try to sound as close to the original as possible, do you expect the guy to use a banjo or a ukelele?

[adamcruz]

sou seu fã .... Im from Brazil ....

[Damase19]

One question, Can we play it with different guitar ?

[lm035]

@Damase19 Why, edge plays it with a Gibson Explorer!!!!

[Damase19]

@lm035 No, You dont understand.. like StratoCaster, Epiphone, i see some covers with a Les Paul :D

[lm035]

@Damase19 : I just think he covered the song with an explorer to get the most authentic sound, like it sounds spot on, i think edge would be prod to hear this cover! Saying that i'd like to hear it on a les paul, remember edge played With or Without You on a les paul at zoo tv and it was unreal!!!

[Lsamadesca]

nice playing!....whats the name of the explorer finish?

[BudMovies]

@Lsamadesca it's a 1976 Gibson Explorer in natural finish. he added golden knobs and pickup covers to it what i also did because it looks better.

[TimU2Cool]

you are the second greatest guitar player in the world.Wish I could play have that good.Countless hours of pratice,,Great job

[jelledegitaarman]

a hiwatt amp would finish this but nice playing

[jelledegitaarman]

a hiwatt amp would finish this

[MrMetallicaa]

im not stupid mate thats the poor mans version thats the korona explorer lol for like £300 gibson explorer doesnt have gold hardware hahaha dumbass

[BudMovies]

@MrMetallicaa hey dude, this really is a 1976 Gibson Explorer. He only put golden pickup covers and golden knobs on the guitar. i did the same. Peace

[youcancallmethestig]

you're kind off... well, really talented. good job, and points for the explorer.

[JoannaMusic1]

fuckin' awesome!!! XD

[BGNikBG]

great

[MaricKici]

fucking great sound

[edvhalen5150]

Love the explorer man!

[Pablo113]

YOU FUCKING RULE!!!!!!!

[ADROTDG]

nice gibson explorer same as edge

[KoalaShuga]

Does anybody know what type pedal or effect your supposed to use for that whole synth cord sound betweeen 2:07 and 2:40???

[kyzrvlhlm1995]

@KoalaShuga digitech whammy

[Matrix848877]

@KoalaShuga i dont think its actually an effect. he's actually doing that himself. its like this; his right hand is plucking the strings, but he's barely touching his fingers on his left and to the strings, and a fraction of a second after he plucks the string w/ his right hand, he takes his finger of the string. idk if u get what i mean, i probably confused u. its really hard to do. he does have some dely/reverb w/ that part too i think

[flyhi94]

@Matrix848877

It's definately a digitech whammy. he even mentions it in the description

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

@KoalaShuga Sounds like some reverb and a Digitech Whammy!

[Nicos2597]

awsome cover!just one question.is that an epiphone explorer or a gibson explorer?it looks exactly the same as my guitar.

[Nicos2597]

awsome cover!just one question.is that an epiphone explorer or a gibson explorer?it looks exactly the same as my guitar

[TheAizak]

really good man!

[MegaBrayDog]

mate your briliant much better then adam clayton :P do more u2 covers please :)

[ELSKYO]

ur nice!

[motel29]

Again this is superbad! Man your tone is unbelievable. Yet it seems effortless.Awesome

[61SGman]

Coldn't help but sing along!

[Damase19]

I like the 0:00 to 4:27 part

[Pablo113]

U RULE!

[CRAYZZAYJ]

0:06 best part

[ryanvega40]

Edges guitar

[jcchris7]

Did he use the Whammy (at +2) as well at 4:08 till the end of the song? Really nice cover! Great job!

[bluesunrises]

23 people are jealous of this guy's skills. 

[TheMusic171]

@bluesunrises 26 people are now jealous of his skills. :)

[elliot2500]

better than the original

[ikke9719]

I want that guitar to, but i find it never...

[loftje1]

Wow this is amazing!! grtz from Belgium

[bricerock]

yeah!!! very good it's that ;)

[gugabool1]

shit man that was insane

[TAMUCLASS16]

I really wish this guy would post more vids!!

[GuitarGeek693]

brown explorer... nice. someone is a true Edge fan!

[reidlowe]

Great job, as someone who's been in the industry over 30 years, keep working at it, get out and play...you're doing a bang up job here on youtube.

[gr8drstorm]

You are the man .... Awesome..... Cheers from Brazil....

U2 360 brazilian tour Aprill 9/10 , 2011 I'll Be there !

[alexdsf]

Hey Ralqh, are you still recording ??? i have already watched your clips several times. You are a really good player. nice covers, I know is really hard to pick up on the exactly tones and effects, but I am really impressed ... Congrats buddy ...

Are you into the business of buy and sell gear ? or you have all that gear for your own enjoyment ... Just a curiosity ... lol ...

Have nice holidays .... ;)

[teunversluis18]

nice guitar and playing:P

[AntaresInScorpius]

AWESOME!!!

[krunoism]

Hey Ralf, original and great - well done mate

Harmsworth

[bromobo]

awesome

[Clocks4eternity]

I am thinking of buying a 1994 Explorer (red) I was wondering, What pickups are you using. And what pick ups did the edge have in his?

[hystericon]

genial super j adore

[fightcol]

perfect

[jollykap]

i really wonder why would someone take the trouble of clicking dislike. if you don't like something you don't have to "dislike" it.

[motel29]

@jollykap For real , dont bother. Good comment.

[motel29]

@jollykap Really....good comment guy. If you're not into it just change the channel. I've never understood why someone would " dislike". Seems pointless

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@motel29

wel actually it has a use,

for example when I want to watch a 10 minute long instruction video and it has like tons of dislikes, I know instantly that it sucks and don't have to bother watching it complete

[motel29]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 Well c'mon man this was a 4.27 minute on "that kid is bad"

[DarkStageFilms]

@jollykap I think that's the whole point of the dislike button. If you have issue with it you should be mad at youtube for having one.. Its the same as the rating system they had before. Honestly if we didn't have a dislike buttons we would never know how people felt about videos.

If there was no dislike button, all the videos on youtube would all be equally rated as good "we all know that's not true of course"

[bopetora]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

BRUNO

FROM BRAZIL

[Cheesybake]

first of all, nice guitar! aaaand the performance wasnt that bad either!

[Kytonrohto]

Hey, man that was really awesome. By far the best cover of Beautiful Day I have seen. Could you tell me what effect was being used for the solo between 2:07-2:44? Im a big U2 enthusiast and an aspiring songwriter/guitarplayer and Ive been wondering what effect(s) is/are used there. And again, I think you did a really good job on the song

[Wiredamp95]

@Kytonrohto The effect he is using is a Digitech Whammy Pedal. It is set at Octave +2.

[Kytonrohto]

[Privateer3000]

nice nice nice Ralqh

ur very artful

i miss PRIDE ;-)

[chorthithian]

ha nice u got The Edge's first EVER guitar! :D

[gavsta686]

@chorthithian actually technically edges first guitar was an old spanish guitar with nilon when he was 11 strings but i know what you mean ;)

[brandage]

Awesome guitar; it looks really similar to what the Edge plays on this song. I love the harmonics at the beginning - sounded great.

[NewTime410]

nice guitar

[ham123see]

cant stop watching this

[4U2byU2]

you are fucking amazing man!!!!!!!!!!!!

[simovox1976]

great guitarrist!! If I close my eyes it seems The Edge's sound!! are you on facebook?! I'd like to meet you there.

Congratulations

Simone Cialoni

[ham123see]

nice explorer, cant seem to find this very model on the gibson homepage....

[TheTemudo]

You guys come here to criticize all of his movements and gear and everything, but you are all jealous of him.

He can afford his equipment, and he also has quality to use it.

These is a great cover with absolutely great effects ans sound, so stop being stupid and help these guy to be a great musician(He already is but to improve with constructive comments).

Great job, keep going and don't change you Edge style, you like it and enjoy it.

Keep Playing and doing covers. ;)

[danakerman]

GREAT cover. Using some kind of loop-station?

My only question is why do all of you Edge wannabes shake your guitars like idiots??? It's a poor excuse for vibrato, and looks absolutely ridiculous. Do you want to copy even the silly and bad habits of your idols?

Still, great cover here.

[hairbybrian]

Very well done. thanks

[MrJoemc1234]

Where have you been? 

[IkBenEenSkateboarder]

Explorer =D Yay =]

You're skills are to good, you're like the seconde Edge =]

[IkBenEenSkateboarder]

Sorry, I meant 'second' (A)

[90Jcadiz]

fkin amazing... Taking requests? lol

[imao666]

What the hell, why are there all those gears?? Does the music require all those effect pedals?? Can anyone tell me?

[danakerman]

@imao666 Well, why don't you try playing it without the gear and tell us what YOU think?

[Guitarjammer86]

very nice, its in a way soooo open- dont know if u know what a mean- maybe its the delay

[U2GuitarTutorials]

I'm producing an update tutorial for this song at U2GuitarTutorials on Youtube. See the BDay playlist.

[MrC12100]

@Ralqh, when are you touring Australia? Let me know...

[RedFunkyVR]

Amazing!!!

[ParanahBoy]

That's an awesome cover dude!

Sounds Even Better Than The Real Thing. You can use this for karaoke =D

[KevlarGuitar]

Woohoo, soon i will have an Explorer in Natural!

[Sword30]

Thats so good I feel STUPID

[theshanasaurus]

@drvertico quit crying commie, people can spend their money on whatever they want. welcome to america. maybe this guy has a passion for music? it's a lot more productive than your passion for being miserable.

[drvertigo]

@theshanasaurus Who the fuck is drvertico? You must have gone through the American school system since you can't read or spell. Thank god we’re laying off 300,000 teachers because we’re doing so well. It’s just too bad he spent all that money and it still sounds like shit. What a fucking waste.
