U2 Bass Covers

Just a few U2 lines I learned on bass. I hope this helps someone out. Some are just my interpretation of the song and not necessarily exactly what Adam plays. These songs are great for beginners (they're all really easy).

Playlist:
New Year's Day
One
All because of you
Bullet the blue sky
Lady with the spinning head (an Achtung Baby era b-side)
Vertigo
Stay (faraway so close)
With or without you
Mothers of the dissapeared

2:28 that bassline was actually "the fly" wasnt it?

@S0NiCCCCC I can see why you'd say that. "The Fly" was the song that was born from the sessions that produced "Lady With the Spinning Head." Both songs have very similar guitar and bass. Obviously, they could only keep one song when they released Achtung Baby and they chose "The Fly" and "Lady" was relegated to a b-side. Both are great songs.

Read my description. I know they're not perfect... but in most occasions they're pretty close.

so, why do you say that it's easy?? come on, learn the real song before putting them on youtube. Other persons are learning wrong things because of that!

@Adamclayton1 If you think they're wrong post a video of you playing them correctly. I said that not all of them are right and are just my interpretation. But many of them are exactly what Adam plays. How do I know? I saw U2 front row and watched Adam play most of the songs on the list and most of the time it was exactly what I played.
