  • what kind of guitar is hey using to change tune like that?

  • @MeeeVsWeee It's a Line6. Not sure about the actual model. 

  • @the very beginning when he plays Mysterious Ways, i understand there's an auto-wah in there, but it sounds more like it's saying "Yow" than "Wah." how does he do that?

  • @xxNailFirexx He's using the Korg A3 for this. It's a preset that he slightly tweaked. It's a very unique effect that is pretty much exclusive to the A3. I've heard many trying to emulate that sound using alternative gear but it's never close enough IMO. I bought a second hand A3, selected that preset and there was that Mysterious Ways tone. Same for Zooropa, Numb and a few others.

  • It really makes me laugh to read some of these negative posts. Here is a guy who has made millions, has fans around the world, and has more equipment than any of the airheads that make bad comments. Jealousy? It's really easy to pass judgment, but what it all comes down to is ... why criticize just because you are still playing covers in some crummy bar band pretending to be a "rock star" while still working your factory day job? If you can do better, than just do it ... or shut up.

  • @Mikerockgod3 no, that tech is NOT his bitch. That tech, like myself, can make a great living for the rest of his life because his duty is to keep the guitarist fully functional during a show. And, given the situation, has a more difficult job than the guitarist

  • @MeeeVsWeee It is a special version of the Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700 model with better "fornitures" and refinements

  • @MeeeVsWeee Line6 Variax Acoustic

  • @MeeeVsWeee Looks like a Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700 model... only sparkly.

  • that rack !!

  • @mussman717word 0ver-rated? lol. There are few musicians in the world today that are originals or have there own distinct sounds. Chuck Berry, Clapton, SRV, Sabbath, Zepplin... All bands or guitar players that have their own sound. The Edge/U2 belongs to this group. I'm sure you have you own sound right?

  • @MrXtamar999 He didn't say it was all about money. Reading comprehension - try it.
