Excellent cover, Nice Ricky too. Please could you help me... is there a delay in there, and if so what do you set the delay time to - 1/16th, 1/8th, dot 1/8th or 1/4 note? What is POD used for - is it AC30 tone?

[SE7TS]

@tootone76 POD is for Delay and EQ

[Beatlemad10002]

@rockandroller007 : Rich ? Not real... I'm doing this since 7 years now, did some good catches on ebay....lots of birthday presents...gig salaries...

[rockandroller007]

@SE7TS .... by the way ..... YOU ARe RICH or MUST BE RICHTO HAVE THAT GEAR BEHIND YOU !!!!!!!! and the Guitar man, it's fantastic. GREAT STUFF, I'M FEELING JEALOUS RIGHT NOW. Keep rocking, great taste with U2 !!!!!!!! Cheers from MEXICO :D !!!!!!

[rockandroller007]

@SE7TS ... ignore that jerk ..... He obviously didn't understand the joke ...... WELL DONE MATE; GRAT COVER. !!!!!!

[Twinsfan714]

@SE7TS No hard feelings. I've fallen guilty to not realizing that sarcasm doesn't translate well through text well.

Nice playing by the way, love the Ricky. And the intro wah sounds EXACTLY like The Edge.

[SE7TS]

@Twinsfan714 : Sorry for confusion. bluelink113 asked me, if I am the tab...I answered that I am not a tab, I am a human being, in this case musician...I thought this would be a joke, but you did not understand it as a joke. My english is not perfect, I do my best to approve it. I didn't want tp bother you or somebody else.

To answer the question correctly: I don't have a tab for the slide part. I have learned it by watching the sydney DVD.

And I'm using tabs too by the way ;-)

[Twinsfan714]

@SE7TS What's that supposed to mean? People who use tabs aren't musicians. I'm sorry, but that's extremely ignorant and bullshit, quite frankly.

[planetcarlos]

great sound, great cover, all round nice job fella!

[MovieMaker225]

@SE7TS Half Step down? im not that technical, so i dont really know what ya mean.

[SE7TS]

@MovieMaker225 No, half down Eb

[MovieMaker225]

Are you in standard tuning? like E Tuning, 440?

[SE7TS]

@bluelink113 : Hi, no I'm not the tab, I'm a musician ;-)

[bluelink113]

Do you the tab for the slide part?

[SE7TS]

@U2Kenny Thank you very much for your kind words !

[U2Kenny]

Dude, I have seen U2 28 times since '83. Yours is the best homegamer version of his song I have ever heard. Your tone rocks almost as much as you do! Keep up the great work. I have to introduce you my buddy Mike from U2 Guitar Tutorials. Best,

Kenny

@Duckcedes

Start with 12 on A-String and 14 on G-String, then go down without changing your finger position

[Duckcedes]

wow. that was incredible!! I have a question:whats the tab for the chorus? (You're the real thing...) I've been trying to figure it out for like 2 weeks now

[SE7TS]

Look at thomann.de and search for Rickenbacker 330/12 or 360/12

[pollobollo27]

hi ... I live in mexico ... so I was searching for a rickenbacker guitar but there's no one

I whish to have one like yours, maybe in black , can you tell me how much for a new one like yours? please
