  1. Yes, the Les Paul (and the Strat) have become the generic guitar due to their ubiquity.
    Doesn't suit the image of a guitarist like the Edge, who's style and approach to the instrument is completely different to most guitarists.

    True, but then again a lot of U2's anthems are played on the LP and the Strat.

    Nope, and I've been looking, your best bet is to search on youttube for someone doing a Kite cover and see if they have settings posted (or ask them for it).


    We should start a section on this site


  4. This is the topic for it, really

    If you look back on this topic, when it was started almost 3 years ago... Lots and lots of interesting stuff about effects and tone etc etc was posted.

    Also Matt (AnStratDubh) knows a fucking lot about all of that.

    Yes there is some great stuff on here.....but 211 pages is a lot to look through....I would quite like a thread just for effects and maybe another one just for tabs, with a strict policy of no off-topinness!

    Well, that would be maybe too much... But hey, we can thikn about it. Maybe use this topic for general talking about guitar and tabs/gear requests, and the other two just for the answers...

    PS. We once wanted to start a tab-only toopic, it had no success

    i like this idea, but even they will will eventually get to 50+ pages in length and it will be hard to go back and find things, it would be great to be able to have like a Tab/effect page with a list of the songs and u can just pick the song u want, and it comes up with all of our attempts at tabs and effect suggestions.

    BTW - Anstratdubh's name isn't Matt, it's Jeff.

    Yeah but they've gone down the Les Paul Custom route for Slash already, namely, and I feel like I'm forgetting another artist that had a Les Paul commemorated after him. Possibly Jimmy Page?

    I think releasing an Edge Explorer almost "re-introduces" the guitar, opens up its market again, and potentially increases the popularity.


    In this market they (Gibson) will want to sell something that they can guarantee to make money on.

    In that case, they've already found that Les Paul artist signature guitars can make them money and appeal to collectors and players alike

    The Exploer idea isn't a bad idea but Gibson, having already cloned Edge's Les Paul... chances are that that would be the one they would go with.
  10. Oh, man, I've mistaken you with the 2 Matts I talk to usually. Of course you're called Jeff, and the worst part of it is that I knew it... Soooorrry

    Maybe for tabs, instead of posting in forums, we could start a list somewhere else on the site like for bootlegs or youtube clips. I think this would definitely distinguish this site from other u2 sites as well....

    yup, this site is already the best, having a tabs area would just put it that much further in front of the rest
