Man, you have no idea how helpful these tutorials are. I work all day in a huge city, I'm married and my wife is not much into music (LOL) and when I get home and need to learn some new music I go to KZread straightaway.... Your videos are awesome and you share all the information you've got. You're a special person. I'm sure about this! God bless you and your family. Cheers!!!

full of courage, perfect balls to show how this music being played.

Thank you. I explained in the description that this is all Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra. The delays in the Axe-Fx are fantastic.

I love U2, I love this song - and I love your vids! Watched all 10 parts - and love to be able to play this song now. Thank you a lot!

The changes are absolutely beautiful man! Love it wow!

As always, great sound and perfect playing!

When you play it feels like magic.. You are very very good... And thankyou for your great tutorial.. thanks to you i can play this song now and with the right sounds and everything... Thankyou very much sir.

Great sound My favorite U2... And Mark Knopfler.. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

@oceanns1 : Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean tabs? See the rest of the tutorial. I go through every note. Thx for watching.

This is just great work 👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful! Song of longing!

I like this tone. It's so beautiful

very nice job ! thanks for the all the demos

Thanks Micheal for sharing this. I think you have the edge covered very well. I am a suscriber. I like the priciseness and detail. You are the best tutor on KZread.

seen several try and reproduce the Edge. You do it like no other. Just unreal how well you do it.

Wow que belleza mil gracias !!!!

It's Just GREAT

Sounds really good bro! Good job!

Closest iv heard anyone sound to the Edges setup.

Thank you very much for your help. It truly is appreciated!

AMAZING!!!

i can listen to the repetitive part 0:30-1:30 all day long... you jsut can't get enough of it... :-) im looking for this version all over the place...

@ishaan719 Yes, the Herdim blue pick is key to the tone. You play it sideways with the dimples on the pick hitting the strings. The modulated delay is also very important. And Vox AC30 amp or amp model is core to the tone.

The guitar solo was otherworldly

Amazing sounds Thanks

great sound !!!!

Perfect! Thank you very much.

Amazing

Lovely playing. Thanks. Lovely start BTW. I love the all black bodies

Hey man, this is awesome, been great explanation and great playing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :-)

Parts 1 through 5 are now up with detailed explanations of each note.

Great thanks for posting

Great playing , great tone :)

Good question. I keep this guitar tuned in Eb (half step down) because there are so many live songs like Slane Streets that are tuned in Eb. So when I put the capo on, I have to put it on the second fret. You have your guitar tuned in E, so you need to put your capo on the 1st fret to get the same tuning as me. I think there are clips out there of Edge using a capo on both frets, meaning the guitar was tuned different. Less stretch of the left hand is required when on the 2nd fret.

I will show you in an upcoming tutorial. I tied an expression pedal to the input gain of the multi-delay (MTD) block and I bring in the shimmer in and out with the pedal while I'm playing. You can see my right knee moving a little during the video.

sooooooooooooooooooo helpful !!! Thank you

Great job!

I'm sincerely humbled. It's rewarding to hear that this channel is helping others. That's my goal. More to come! Part 6 going up today.

Freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!

+Candido Alcantara Thank you!

Very nice! Thank you for sharing. I just received my Axe-Fx last week. Love it!! If you have the time, quick question, how do you program a "shimmer" effect in the Axe-Fx? I know it is a combination of a few specific effects, I just don't know which ones or what their settings, approximately, would be. Thanks for any help you could provide a noobie to the Axe-Fx.

Part 2 goes through the settings. It's just a dotted 8th note delay with one other subtle delay as explained in the video. If I have time this weekend, I'll try to dig out the old preset.

@TheEdge2002 : It's a 2003 Fender Custom Shop Strat (1960 version). But I changed pups to Kinman Woodstocks and put a black pick guard on it.

@U2GuitarTutorials : Also, Streets is absolutely only one delay. Some say stereo or add two, but there are many sitings of Edge's rig during previous tours and only one TC2290 delay was on for that song based on the switcher setting lights. It's a simple dotted 8th delay. You could add a second subtle 8th note delay low in the mix to fill it out, but in my opinion this just means something else in your signal chaine or tone is missing. Guitar, pups and amp are very important.

wow! I been looking this lesson for years! Thank you for the lesson! Very accurate!! Can i ask what is your shimmer pedal? My best wishes!!!

Exellent !!

@flmason: Good question. I did not pan them. Everything is dead center. While I use the L and R channels in stereo, I don't pan the delays. However, sometimes I do pan the entire preset a little left and right. Check out my Beautiful Day cover and you will hear the different presets panned a left and right. But not the individual effects themselves. U2's live recordings have this effect sometimes like on the Letterman show.

Yes, I did. Watched it until the end and I'm on Eastern Time! The quality was excellent on KZread.

You're watching only Part 1 of a full tutorial. See the other parts for all the details.

Check out Parts 1 - 5. Others to be posted soon.

great tutorial - great tone - might you be making the Axe FX presets available?

Yes, I think WOWY will be next. I also need to do a full cover of Streets, which I may do next. But WOWY will be the next tutorial after I finish ISHFWILF.

I haven't tabbed it, but I just finished recording the rest of the tutorial. I just need to edit the video.

perfect tutorial, will help many guitarists ;)

Yes sir, KINMAN pick ups rule!! Met Chris Kinman and had a look through his workshop. I have his pick ups ( earlier models to Woodstocks) in the guitar I built. Sounds better than any of my "name"guitars. Everyone who hears it wants to know what it is ... secret - kinman pickups. Chris is an awesome , passionate dude. Love the tone.

I will record it this weekend. My lighting was bad in the takes I did last weekend. You wont need tabs after my detailed tutorial. It's not very complicated.

@oighroi Fender Custom Shop Strat (2003). 1960 version and I replaced pickguard to black and put in Kinman Woodstock pups. Thx!

@EaglesStir : I think Am had trouble a while back on his website and/or computer and had to remake many of them. You can email him and ask what happened. I think I have this old one if you prefer it. Join U2_Guitar_Tutorials on Yahoo Groups. Post a request and I'll email it to you.

@palmtree2367: Go to the website u2guitartutorials and go to "Other Resources." The link is there. His name is Am and he does a great job.

Spot on, you've got that chrome bells hook down perfectly. better without the vocals, nothing wrong with them, just came here for the guitar work!

bueatiful

@SuperCharlie183: I don't recall. It's either std with capo or Eb with capo. You should be able to figure it out by playing with the track. There are some tabs in the threads of the posts on the U2_Guitar_Tutorials Google group.

Nice, that sounded amazing, can't wait for the tutorial! I just got done watching the U2 concert live on youtube, that was really cool. Did you catch it?

Thanks!

Sounds good

@marcusbball50: I use the Axe-Fx Ultra.

Thanks, that would be great! Leon

Go to our Yahoo group file section (link on my channel page). You can download some presets with shimmer in it. Can't give you all specifics here, but it's the multi-delay block (with all four delay settings and some pitch shifted) into a filter to cut off the extreme highs, to very wet reverb to smooth it out.

Good performance and lesson. If I may....the A and D strings are played as drone notes between the G and B strings in the main riff.

Bravo! I was looking for it. Jast a question: where can i find the guitar music sheet of this song or the tab with your performance? Thank you very much. Emil

I explain it in Part 2. I think I was tuned down to Eb and then the cap is on the second fret. If you tune to E, put the capo on the 1st fret.

I use .11s whenever possible. I find they have more chime. I use .10s for more aggressive songs with lead parts.

@U2GuitarTutorials yeah my setup likely sucks. I have a les paul with 2 humbucker pickups, a line6 spider IV 120 watt amp and my GT8 is set to vox ac30 clean. I have somewhat come pretty close to getting with or without you to sound nice and where the streets have no name.

Sorry, tabs take time that I prefer to put into the vids. DId you see all the parts to the tutorial? I give you a close up of every note.

What strings are you picking (in order) for the main chorus? This is a great cover!

Great job, I watched all 9 parts. The 1/8th pattern was the key for me so I could play it on acoustic. I capo up 2 and use G = 6x0032, C = x30032, D = x00323. 1/8 picking pattern is 63263263 63231232.

Nice Playing

Cool

Great tone! love the axe fx ultra( j got a pod xt live,no dual delay, no shimmer)!!for the shimmer j use a behringer pedal(sorry!!)how did u divide the shimmer only for the high note? thanks ciao cheers from italy!

Great cover and great tone! Can you tell me what pedals and amp you are using and guitar in order to achieve that?

He's left a message under the video "Recorded entirely with Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx Ultra" So no amps or pedals, just the Axe-FX Ultra. From his web page he says he's using this guitar "Fender Custom Shop 1960 NOS Stratocaster (2003) - Black w/ Maple Neck"

I love the intro... if you know you know!

@JohnJR2009: Kinman Woodstocks normal set. Perfect for U2 stuff. And noiseless.

Made your sound on my new Helix and it sounds great. You are very very very good sir.

v ery good job

You're much too kind, but thank you. I've shown my face on a few other vids. I have great respect for the Edge. I'm not creating anything, just trying to learn some great songs and passing on what I've learned so that others can enjoy. I have a long way to go. There are many others out there who are more experienced than me. I just take the time to show as much detail as possible. I welcome all constructive feedback.

Micheal you have shown me in great detail how to play u2 songs .Thankyou now I can play the guitar and some u2 songs to. All the best from Italy

Thank you very much. When will be ready the part 2? Angelo PS Would be very interesting to have the tabs.

May I suggest a fantastic amp for this song: The "Ibonez MIMX 65". It has every effect you could ever think of, INCLUDING the ability to tap ANY delay speed and also control with knobs as well as be able to add echo too. It is a fantastic amp for all type use :)

hey dude REAL good job on this. thanks for the post. do you per chance happen to have tab sheets written up for this? you'd be my hero if you did

Awesome dude... But what shimmer you using for this music???

good job :)

hey michael does the edge herdim pick make it so chimey cause i really love that sound? or do i have to adjust something with modulated delay

Prefer the album version Capo 4th fret D and A Chords or F Chord 5th 6th and 7th fret

Hey Michael, would love to get/see the settings/parameters of this song on the Axe. Hope I'm not too late 'cause it's the Ultra, wich is gone I asume, but maybe you have them on your FX2 too. Hope you can do a video of that. I really love this tone as a basic tone. Add some other effects where needed. Hope you can help me... Grtzzz Leon

Whoah! You gotta be kidding me!

I'm not familiar iwth the GT8, and I've not heard that others use it for U2. You need a Strat or very similar guitar with single coil pups. Should be set in quack position (bridge + middle pup). Then you need a Vox AC-30 or AC-15, or Vox AC-30 amp modeler (like the Vox Amplug). Finally, the delay needs to be a modulated delay like the Boss DD-20. If your GT8 has a modulated delay and you have it set up correctly, then your issue is probably the tone from the guitar or amp or both.

@U2GuitarTutorials yea tabs. its ok now, ive checked the others. thanks.

i just realised why u dunt have the cam on ur face.... ITS BECAUSE U R THE EDGE, only he could do such a great tutorial. thanks for this, ive never been able to get it 100% right.

Not sure. DD-20 for sure. It needs to have a modulated delay with depth and rate settings.

Ciao, sarebbe possibile avere solo la traccia di chitarra? Puoi mandarmela? Se puoi ovviamente 😊

was that the edge playing???!! grawesome!!
