  • Updated cover of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name." Part A1 of updated guitar tutorial. There are a few minor mistakes here, as I was just practicing and it turned out to be an ok take. Tone is based on Slane Castle live version, but not exactly the same. Recorded entirely with Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx Ultra (delays and reverb) and Tech 21's Liverpool (amp modeling). See www.u2guitartutorials.com for more information.

    Being primarily a bass player, I watched (and then re-watched) this set of vids because I was merely curious about Edge's tone and delay settings on this classic song. But then I ended up grabbing my bass, turning the volume to max and playing along with you -- more than just a few times. Your tone is fantastic and your technique is spot-on. It was great jamming with you.

      @@joseluissanchez6821 I use the Axe-Fx for all effects. It's the best. Even Edge uses them now.

    Fantastic!!! Best tone and playing if ever heard on a cover. Seriously congrats. I've seen Edge play this from the second row on the Elevation tour and was perplexed (at the time) by his left hand trying to figure out the partial chords he was playing during the chorus. You nailed it! Edge droning the D, G, B then A "bass" notes makes it.

    As far as inspirational guitarists go, I can name a half a dozen off the top but Edge is definately included in this group. The term "shimmer" was virtually unheard of until the advent of U2. All credit to him in producing that "orchestric sound" you refer to. His use of those trademark delays and open chords never required additional lead fills. Quite remarkable really. Great covers and your tutorials are the best on youtube. We all need to thank you for all your time and work.

      Thank you for the kind words, but I just work hard to imitate. Just muscle memory after listening to it a million times and playing it over and over. Unlike me, I'm sure your an accomplished guitarist after 25 years. I can't improvise but I can learn to play what I see and hear.

    @oighroi:
    It's a 2003 Custom Shop Strat (1960 version). But I changed the pup guard to black and put in Kinman Woodstock pups. A whammy bar will not go out of tune if set up correctly by a professional. If it does, sometimes you can just hit the bar quickly (quick push on it) and everything goes back to normal. I'm no expert in whammys.

    I have listened to this version now about a dozen times or more (because the guitar volume is better than the original version)

    • @U2GuitarTutorials
      @U2GuitarTutorials  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thank you for the kind words. What's even more amazing is that this is actually not hard to play relative to so many other songs. The Edge is brilliant incorporating delays and other effects into a wonderful, rich tone. It's not the notes, but the tones, arpeggios, melodies and hooks. Edge is a true artist. I just love being able to experience the joy of playing his songs. Anyone can learn these songs. I'm not an accomplished musician. I just practice these songs over and over until my wife can't take it anymore. ;-)

    Very kind of you, thx. I actually do make a couple minor mistakes in getting to the notes quickly. I actually never mean this to be an updated cover. I was updating my preset and tone, had the camera on and just played it straight through. I was more relaxed than usual and didn't care about how it came out. When I played it back, I thought it was better than my previous version, so I put it up.

    hi Michael my hubby would like me to thank you for your tuition on this song and others that you do. he is u2 mad. he has ocd obsessive compulsive disorder. it affects people in different ways. some clean a lot. some have number dilemmas. my husband has a condition where if he's learning something on guitar he has to learn it note by note and he says you are the best tutor on TH-cam. once he hears a note he can find it on his guitar. but seeing someone playing the song and describing time signature and strumming techniques helps him no end. so from the bottom of my heart and my hubby Andy thank you very much for your help and advice and time.
