  1. You guitar-freaks might like this

    I mashed-up 25 U2 songs that share similar chord progressions, just playing Am, G, F and E all throughout. Some of this songs of course do not have that chords, not even in other keys, but they simply fit on that progression.



    Let me know what you think 'bout it If you like it, take 20 seconds and leave some feedback on Youtube
  2. Pretty nice stuff there man, only bit that didn't really work for me was UTEOTW Really liked Unknown Caller though, and your whistling at the end
  3. Made this clip this morning, I wasn't paying attention to guitar tone, and I know the tempo is a bit fast, but I just wanted to upload something because I was bored. The vocals are drenched in reverb because I had just gotten up and I was flat for one part of the clip

    Enjoy!

    sergio your a frickin baller. thats awesome.
  8. Looks like Edge is finally breaking out the 2009 Gretsch Black Falcon. Appears that is what he's using for "One Tree Hill" on this tour.



    Here's a piccy of Dallas with it, back during soundcheck on the U2:360 2009 dates:






    The Black Falcon was also listed in the October 2009 Music Radar interview / featrue with Dallas Schoo.

    Another video of One Tree Hill - You can see the Black Falcon really well on the video screen in the beginning.
  9. This is where I start to feel like Edge is being just a bit TOO picky with his sound. I'm sure he could get a decent sound with the Gretsch Country Gent, or the Casino, or even a Strat or a Les Paul for One Tree Hill. He seems to be using the Gretsch for most of the hollowbody-esque stuff, so why not just use that? Does a whole new guitar really need to be brought out just for one song for a few shows?
  10. If you can do it, why not?


  11. Pain in the ass for Dallas and Edge. Really Edge could go through a whole set with just an LP, a Strat, a Rickenbacker, a Tele, a Hollowbody, the Fernandes, and an acoustic. I've seen a soundcheck video of Dallas going through Edge's presets on his explorer, and all of the tones sounded pretty much there with ONE guitar. Why does he need 19? I'll never know. I guess it is the whole mentality "well I can! So why not?" The only thing I can think of besides "every guitar sounds different!!!" is the guitars losing their tuning during between songs. But that wouldn't take any more than 10 seconds to fix between songs. And Edge's gutiars are taken such good care of he would probably rarely need to anyway. I dunno, as a guitar player it gets to a point where you can only get so picky with tone, and then it's just ridiculous. I've been to bar gigs where the player has 5 different strats, each with the same pickups. What the hell is hte point? Stupid in my opinion.
  12. Suppose ya got a point. He's just a perfectionist. Although I wouldnt mind having different guitars whenever I need them
