  • nice job man. I tried it after I saw this and it sounded awesome! Thanks for posting. Its crazy how simple "the Edge's" melodies are...

  • I'm really happy to hear that it worked so well for you!

    Please check out my other videos! I've put a good one up to learn how to easily create tracks to practice to using Garageband!

  • you know the edge uses about 4 different delays at once right?

  • Not on that song.

    I know it for a fact.

  • what brand of delay do you use? just curious cause i need to buy one and dont really know what to get.

  • Sorry for the very late response. I own and love the Boss DD3. It's cheap and simple. I would highly recommend it as your first delay pedal.

    Good luck! I've made some new videos you might like to check out too!
