@brandonberg

let's hear your version then

[tinrooflighthouse]

On the intro Edge uses gaffer taper with a slide,with a delay set at a high speed.You can approximate the gaffer tape mutes with your palm however.

This structure,although a cool variation,is not how Edge plays it.Edge sets the delay speed at a fast setting with only 1-ish repeats .The repeat volume is equal to or slightly greater to the picked note.This is KEY.

* is delay repeats

E/B *E/*B X's 3.

followed by G/D *G/*D,followed by A/E *A/*E.

That's the full riff.

"This structure,although a cool variation,is not how Edge plays it!

that's one of the keys to become a better player..."elaborate" and find your own way

[Snotra]

I think the Edge is using a slide.

[federicoperale]

yes it could be but I am not sure...they almost never performed it live... but I agree that one can hear the slide from the first to the second chord

[351WindsorStang]

Very cool,delay made Edge's career,lol.Its ok so many cool sounds that way.

[jcshirke]

They performed it every night on the Unf. Fire, tour, btw, once that tour got rolling midway through Fall/Winter of '84.

You can check out mine, if you want. I'll try to do a tutorial soon.

@federicoperale "they almost never performed it live" - Really? Is 80 shows not good enough for you?

[dirtylarry69]

shit!!

[derbeanchen]

I like this lesson, thank you!

[jon2718]

It is important for u to lock in more precisely with the delay
