Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:What the Edge is playing in this song has always been a mystery to me lol. There's about 4 different ways to play it, scattered across the net. Watch Mick's video's on youtube (mick3b1g) he does a great cover of it, watch his fingers, he seems to have it down pat. That's how I figured it out.
Yes, Mick plays like Edge does, which isn't high up around the 12-15th frets:
And he doesn't use the variation the 2nd time he plays the chorus riff.
) since we all love playing guitar here.... and weve got the bootleg round table, we should should start a U2 guitar cover table. each fortnight we pick a song and all record ourselves playing it on guitar(video or audio) then all post it up, that way we can get feedback from other guitar playing u2 fans
and during the fortnight we can discuss how to get the sounds right, playing styles, etc. I hope everyone is as keen to do this as me
