Accumulated knowledge. There are many sitings of the settings from previous tours when Edge's TC2290 delay units was on stage. I don't figure out all delay settings myself, but in some cases I do adjust them based on listening to inter ear monitoring tracks and live DVD tracks. Over time you will learn that there are a few main types of delays that Edge uses the most (dotted 8th especially).
Correct, but the frets are closer together. As you move up the neck, the space between each fret decreases. It's not as obvious in the first few frets, but there is a slight difference.
@GuitarLessonSarasota: Well the slap back is a very short delay. I typically put short delays first, but I dont think there would be a big difference. The slap back is one short delay repeat. But there will be a subtle difference in series because the next delay (assume it has more than one repeat and is longer in time) will "carry" the slap back. So every repeat of the second delay will repeat the original note and the slap back. A true slap back should be in parallel and go off once.
Remember the delay setting is worthless if you don't play at the right tempo. You could have the right delay setting and still not sound right if you play at the wrong tempo.
Check out my old tutorials on delay times and the dotted 8th delay. I have a few up here. Spend some time first understanding the basics - 1/4, 1/8th, etc. and then make sure you really understand your pedal and how it works. But in general, each beat in 4/4 time is a quarter note. So 4 quarter notes in a measure. 8th is twice as fast as a quarter, so there are 8 8th notes in a measure. 1234 is the quarter note and 1&2&3&4& are the 8th notes. A dotted 8th is 3 16th notes or 3/4 of a beat.
Thx. It's a "frankenstrat." 2003 NOS 1960 Custom Shop but I had to replace the neck with a USA Custom Shop because the flame maple neck it came with went into backbow. Pups are Kinman's in this video.
The Edge is a great guitarist who knows much about technique , maybe he`s not SUCH a great virtuoso , but what i like is his ability to give the songs HIS Stamp And "The Joshua Tree " Album is one of the Greatest Records of ALL times ,that means Much Great lesson !
Great tutorial. Some think the slapback is 2/16 instead of 1/16 So a little bit longer - I cannot be sure. Hard to tell really as its volume is quite low anyway
@p1ayn I pure slap back should be in parallel so it goes off just once on each strike of the string and not with each delayed note. However a slap is a very low mix, subtle delay and can be done in series. Just set the first delay low in the mix and with only one repeat. The second delay will repeat the original note and the slap back together however many times the second delay is set to. Ideally you do want parallel but few will tell the difference.
You also have to understand the relationship between beats per minute (the tempo you are playing the song) and the delay time in milli seconds. You can either set your pedal to repeat every so many milli seconds (and play at the correct temp such that the delay is a dotted 8th), or set the pedal to a dotted 8th note and it will calc the milli second delay time for you based on the tempo set in the pedal. See my other tutorials. Take your time!
I love all your tutorials your attention to detail is something to behold, can I just ask if there is a little bit of shimmer on your effects. I seem to pick a bit up through my headphones
So say you were running your delays in series, would you put your slap back before or after the dotted8th? I ask because I am thinking of setting up my pedal board like this, with an always on analog delay type pedal as well as my rhythmic digital delay. Thanks.
These vids are great. Thanks for posting. I have an Eventide Timefactor that I am just learning. I assume I can't get the dotted 8th and slap back with 1 Timefactor? I have an old Boss DD3. Will it work with these pedals together?
hey m8 great tutorial the dotted 8 note ect never really made sense but now i do bdw does it make a difference if im usuing 456ms rather than dotted 8th note with 101 bpm or will it sound the same? Thanks great tutorial
Hello Michael - I'm enjoying very much the tones and detail to these songs. I have been looking for a set of noiseless pups for a LONG time... could you please give me the specs for your kinmans? Thanks!
@skywagonboy Thanks! Join our Google Group U2_Guitar_Tutorials for these type of questions. Some in the group own the Timefactor which is a great delay.
You are a geat gy for this. No ego just the basic data and stuff. Top notch.
Fantastic Tutorial Really Fantastic..Thank you and best of Luck👍🏻greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Sorry for the lighting. The original file is not this dark. It seems TH-cam's processing makes it darker. I'll try to adjust for this going forward.

Great work abaut delay settings, waiting for part 3
PERFECT! Thank-you!

thanks for explaining the delay settings! I'll experiment with that....

Amazing (yet again)! You got that tone nailed!

Edge is about texture, melodies and hooks. Simplicity can be brilliant also.
Great tutorial. Some think the slapback is 2/16 instead of 1/16
So a little bit longer - I cannot be sure.

@rmoyavaldivia:
I use the delays in the Axe-Fx Ultra by Fractal Audio. Best digital delays out there.

Thx! I have a lot of patches up on the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II forum.
I'm starting with the guitar my friend and I really like the songs of U2 .... I'm going to need a lot of help .... thanks .... thank you very much

I go through all the details in the tutorials. There are many parts. It's a dotted 8th note. Depends what BPM you're playing at.
I love all your tutorials your attention to detail is something to behold, can I just ask if there is a little bit of shimmer on your effects. I seem to pick a bit up through my headphones
good job great info to know have a great day

What happened to your White balance around 6:50? Suddenly its much cooler colors?
Perfect Tutorial, great work !
Nice Stratocaster u have there; what modell of stratocaster u have?
Hello Michael - I'm enjoying very much the tones and detail to these songs. I have been looking for a set of noiseless pups for a LONG time... could you please give me the specs for your kinmans? Thanks!
Question my friend is it an open E
Tuning?
I was probably tuned down a half step or more. Edge did that on some versions.
Nice sounding cover! Could you tell me if the modulation time for delays are 1/16 dot? Did u used mod in both delays? Tnks!
what delay pedal do you use?
Your the man!
@kjshannon21
Kinman Woodstock (regular set). They are excellent for U2 stuff.
The sun was going down and reflecting off of other buildings out our window.
Actually, it's worse on my monitors at work. Looks much better at home. Seems I have to change my settings at work.
they are called Herdim picks
@lennart1402:
Correct, I was probably in Eb like Edge is often.
@skywagonboy
Thanks! Join our Google Group U2_Guitar_Tutorials for these type of questions. Some in the group own the Timefactor which is a great delay.
what if you cannot play the large span due to small fingers whats the alternative route
Tune the guitar down another half step or more and move the capo down further, then the frets will be narrower.
Hi Michael!!! Absolutely awesome Tutorials!!! And your tones are superb! You nail it man!!! Did you upload the AxeFx Patches anywhere?
Greetings from the Peruvian jungle
I got my tickets!!!
why does this video take so long to load?!
@yankeesnmbr5 :
I just tried it form an airplane on GoGo it it loaded immediately. It must be your service.
Its his pick, its rough on one side making it "chimier" when he strums, they are called Harlem picks (blue, heavy)
this is absolutely true.
