wrong, delay is nothing without the Edge :)

[anstratdubh1979]

I mean no disrespect but you are not playing it accurately. You are playing on the wrong string... and your delay settings are way off.

@Rashy3000 It takes substantial knowledge as well as the time and effort spent experimenting to come up with these specific sounds. It's not every day that an artist thinks up a song with the effects already dialed in. It takes time perfecting the sound you want for a specific song, thus making that sound unique. :)

[Brandon04951]

@Rashy3000 That isn't really true. I get where you are coming from but a sound, by your definition can never be unique then. What makes a sound unique is the specific settings and combinations of the effects, amps, guitars etc. I write music and use a lot of effects here and there but perhaps my most commonly used effect is just a POG2 octave generator. Nothing crazy but it gives my music it's own sound mixed with the other effects that I am using. The Edge does the same thing. (continued)

This is suppose to be the Edge? Sounds like shit...

I just got my first guitar today and he seems Pretty good to me... Wtf with all the hate?

[Rashy3000]

@brickwall595 haha, don't worry about it man, I was only talkin shite if ya know what I mean ;)

[brickwall595]

@Rashy3000 My apologies, I now understand what your inplying.

[Rashy3000]

@brickwall595 I know it takes talent to write music that stands the test of time :P But you misunderstood what I meant I think. I was arguing the point that The Edge himself has a unique sound, personally I don't think he does because his music borrows a lot from effects, without effects his music is nothing. Therefore there is nothing unique about a sound that uses reverb, delay, distortion etc considering lots of artists use them.. that is all I meant, I don't know what you think I meant xD

[brickwall595]

@Rashy3000 dude you are the wrong one. Yes it does take talent to shred, i agree HOWEVER. it takes equal amounts of talent, more actually, to create melodic music that defies the test of time. Dont believe me? Ask Jimmy page. Everyone can play Stairway to heaven on the guitar but no one else invented it before Jimmy. Not because they didnt want to but because they couldnt.

[brickwall595]

YOUR RIGHT....THIS IS BAD

@r2on no, you got it the wrong way round...
