U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Did Adam win Lotto? Or a bass guitar buying spree? (The Warwicks, the tobacco Rivoli, the burgundy mist Fender Jazz bass, the sherwood green Fender Precision...)

Originally posted by LikeASong:[..]Indeed, No Line On The Horizon has the following chord pattern:
Verses (as far as we have been allowed to hear): E, E, C#m (brief chord), G#m, E...
Chorus: C, C, D, D, E, E (this three chords sound fantastic if played barred at 3rd, 5th and 7th frets, respectively )

Regarding Magnificient (together with Breath, my favorite clip by far ), it's in F#m indeed, and it seems to have some kind of F#m, B(minor?), A, E??, F#m pattern.

Moment of Surrender offerrs the chords Am, F, C, E. But I can't say much more...

Unknown Caller mantains a G chord troughout all the clip and the small G-based riff:
e------10-----------
B--8--------10-----
Some slight variations can be threwn, like a 7h8 on the B string at the start of the riff, or something like that. Just for having some fun

I'll Go Crazy..., which is in C, presents a nice C, Am, Em, Dm, Am, Em (hold before the chorus) and then C, Am, F, (and I guess G, but is not on the clip), progression.

Get On Your Boots is already known, that breaking G chord on the chorus and all that stuff.

Stand Up Comedy is also on F#m, and it has some A, B and E thrown there, but I can't say much.

Being Born (assuming that's the actual track, and Fez is the electronic bit) starts with a Gm, turns into an F and later I guess there will be an Em.

White As Snow is probably in Em, ant it has a nice progression of Am, Bm, F#m, Em... There could be a D over there? Dunno...

Breathe seems to be some kind of A, B, D, Am, D...

And Cedars Of Lebanon has no chord progression I think. I can't hear no synthtiser nor bass, only a small keyboard and some strings which are insufficient to know anything about the chords or the key of the song.


Not great, but just my 2 cents from the little material we've heard

Not sure of Edge's slide yet, or anything else that I might have missed though...
