This is by no means perfect. I just couldn't get the sound right but I think you can see what I'm getting at. I had to fit recording in before Mini Edge had to go to bed so it was a bit of a rush job.
This song has to arrive in two parts as the complete file is too big for YouTube. See Part two for the rest.
Thankyou for watching.
Please let me know what you think.
PLEASE NOTE - I DO NOT HAVE THE TAB FOR THIS SONG

  • you're excellent, mate, I love your covers. you ever consider writing your own stuff?

  • Hello and thank you. Yes, I've had a crack at writing my own material and it seems to work quite well. One day I may put some of that stuff on here. There's no better place to get honest hard-nosed opinion than on here. Cheers mate! Peace!!

  • Hello very accurate playing of the song.Can you post what effects you used and what settings. I've been tryin to learn this song for a long time with no luck. Thx!

  • Hi and thanks! Really unless you have a Boss GT6 settings are of no use. I used a altered Vox modelled preset on the unit to get the sound for this song so those parameters are pre-programmed in. Other than that just use a fairly clean sound, delay with some modulation set to 440 - 450ms and the good old Herdim picks for the chime. Cheers.

  • You sound great man, but just curious, why do you tune half a step down?

  • Hi there and thanks. I tune this way because nearly all the CDs or backing tracks play a half step down so it's easier to retune the guitar permanently. If a track plays in standard tuning then I slap a capo on the first fret. This means I don't keep having to retune the guitars. Thanks!!

  • One of my all time favorite songs, actually written by Adam Clayton.

    Thanks for your music.

    It makes another day pass.

  • good work you have the look and sound which is a hard combo to achieve

  • @WannaBeTheEdge Just as the edge does When u2 first started gigging as a support act for much bigger acts at that time They would just blow away the crowd as they where so good.Then the bigger acts roadies would tune edges and adams guitars up to normal tuning to sabatage there performance with bono having to try and sing at a much higher pitch Before he gained his Falsetto voice Great videos by the way simon

  • I hope that you're little man is a u2 fan as well; perhaps a 'mini-Edge' in the making??? You rock as always:)

  • Wow man, just wanted to thank you for your clear love of music and guitar!!! Great job, and it's cool to see both you and minibon gettin' into it! Keep it up mate!!

  • what amp do you use? an Ac30?

  • hehe miniedge has got great moves! with a dad like you, miniedge's going to rock!!

  • hey there is mini bono

  • you're the best!!!

    U2 for ever...

    I play guitar too, but I have a Les Paul, so I can't get the same sound of "bad"..
