U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (Acoustic Cover)

The original composition in Edge's style of guitar playing (delay/reverb/echo/etc) made this a very interesting proposition on the acoustic, but I think it turned out nicely. Such a simple, tranquil song.

Guitar: Taylor 414ce

nice fake playing....way to go

[azb24]

@CopaceticLifeIndeed You're actually the second person to accuse me of that, and you're the second person to be wrong. For this song I use a hybrid between strumming and picking. My hand appears to be strumming when all you see is my thumb coming in and out of the frame, but my index finger and thumb (holding the pick) are actually moving quite a lot to catch the necessary strings on the way up and down. I catch the B and E strings on the upstroke.

Nice work!! By the way what type of camera did you use? The picture look clean.

[azb24]

@MARCKEL7 Thanks! It was a Flip UltraHD.

[gostodeloira]

what is that thing on the arm of the guitar?

[azb24]

@gostodeloira That is a Capo. It is used to change the key of the instrument without re-tuning. Each fret is 1/2 step.

[Southerocker]

sounds awesome but it doesn't look like you're playing it, your strumming hand isn't matching what I'm hearing

[westcoastin6]

@Southerocker

Yes it does, each up stroke plays the E and B strings, causing his hands to go up, rather than down.

[footstomper1]

ABSOLUTELY NOT FAKE!!! GOOD JOB MATE

[Elpezdelinfierno]

MMMMM.....FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[Leodorus]

Very beautiful rendition!

[MyKurtkobain]

@azb24 Why do you even bother these comments, I can clearly make out its you playing. These people can not even figure out the chords by themselves, they look for tabs.

[sedod66]

no offensive but you cant sing.

[zach0520]

I like the picky-strummy technique because you keep the percussive attack of the pick and you can readily throw in dramatic full strums to accentuate moments and build drama in your performance.

[zach0520]

Nice work, I'm working on an acoustic version myself right now. Boo! to all the folks who think your faking, I use a combination of pick and fingers and exactly what you describe above which Neil Young calls picky-strummy (see Needle and the Damage Done among other examples of his use of the technique.) It's astounding how full it can sound; almost like two guitars at times. Keep up the good work :)
