    I've got an Epi LP, made a few years ago- the black "Goth" edition (though i would hardly define myself as such )

    For songs like "One", "Until The End of the World', "The Electric Co." and "Zoo Station", where Edge uses his LP's, this guitar through my Fender 90W amp and a Boss Distortion pedal gives me an incredibly close-to-mirroring sound. Of course, you'll never sound exactly like The Edge, but for songs especially like "One" and UTEOTW, I doubt I could get much closer.


    Have you and audio or youtube video clip? I'd be interested in hearing the tone.


  2. Unfortunately no, sorry :/

    I've got a custom made setting on my Digitech RD-200 (I believe that's the model number?) Multi-Effect pedal to give me Bono's light distortion chords on "One"- Live from Chicago, '05, so I can stomp that on in the verses and use the Boss stompbox for the extra gain when The Edge plays the choruses and solos

    I'll try to get some YouTube vids up, though...nothing I've ever done before, but I could manage it. My camera is pretty crappy quality audio, but I should be able to get the idea of the sound across fairly well. Look for those over the weekend- I'll post a link.

    EDIT: I had some time right after I posted that so I decided to just make a real quick video. Sorry for the mistakes and the roughness of it all, but I wanted to experiment with it. It'll be here very shortly.
  3. Small setup for the time being. Apologize for the roughness of the playing and some of the distortion in the "One" verses are a bit too heavy, I know. My Boss Distortion is out of commission so I had to go through the amp...little harder to change on the fly.

    Just a little thing you could try f your Boss dist is out of commission like that, just try rolling back the volume about halfway when your play the distorted part of One. It should really smooth out the harshness and will probably thicken the tone up a touch.

    Thanks- I was screwing around with some settings before I turned the camera on, and I set it up for UTEOTW, and forgot that I was going to play "One" first, so it even surprised me a little bit.

    You talking about "One"? Yeah, I could write you a tab. I actually play it slightly different than The Edge, which I'm usually never a fan of doing...same notes, just a different spot on the fretboard, on different strings. So much easier, and a much less muted tone.

    And if you're talking about UTEOTW, well, I could whip one up for that just as well, I suppose.

    I dunt wana push my luck so maybe just the tab for One now,
    thanks a heap .

  9. I rekon when u click on a song from the songs list, apart from getting the lyrics and the bootleg info, u sould be able to get vids of members trying the song out for themselves( on guitar, drums, etc) and we should have a link for sum tabs/ chords on there too.


  10. I PMd you Andrew. I can do one for UTEOTW later.
  11. I also have a personal tab for One, I can write here in a moment if you want to. It's on the first frets so it's useful to play in electric, acoustic or even classic guitar, and sounds great
  12. e ----------------0----0----0-------------------------------------------------0-----------0---------------------------------------
    B ----------1-------3----3----3 h 1 / 3--- 3 h 1 h 3 h 1 h 3------------------3--1--3---3--1-/3--0--0-1-0-1-3-1-0--------
    G --0h2---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0h2--
    D -----------------------------------------------------------------------/ 3--------------------------------------------------------

    On the B strings all notes (specially the quick parts between frets 1 and 3) are hammered or slided, but I didn't feel like writing it
