I've tried using a normal slide, sounds flipping terrible but that said, I'm a real shit slide guitarist lol...I'd like to think I do a pretty decent WTSHNN too, but like you my gear isn't really ideal. Oh for a second delay unit lol...I'd say my best song playing wise would be UTEOTW, although I'd be willing to say that I reckon I'm good with a fair few U2 numbers, Electric Co. and the Fly being another two


    Can't seem to master UTEOTW. I would love to get it pat down but it just doesn't come out right.That and Ultra Violet. I won't even attempt The Fly. Sounds like shit when I try it. I've also tried When I Look At The World which on paper seems like a really really easy song to do on guitar.....but there's nothing easy when it comes to Edge. I Will Follow is another one.
  2. New York is another really good example where you just need the right equipment to get that sound. Have you tried out THBAO?

    Never been able to do Ultra Violet properly, but I still love playing the main riff either way lol. If I can get some decent recording equipment together, i.e. one of those microphone jacks that links a guitar plug to a normal earphone sized jack so I can stick my guitar straight into my computer mike socket, so I can record guitar parts without any background crap lol. When I Look At The World, NEVER tried that - I guess that it's not too hard for the most part, but the opening riff thingy just sounds a bit mad to be a simple learn-by-ear job lol. I Will Follow is possibly one of their easiest songs to play I'd say, once you've cracked it it's just great fun

    Neither are songs I've tried lol. THBAO because it's just never one that I've ever felt particularly inclined to play, but one day I will. And New York, my problem is that it's too much like the Beautiful Day verse guitar part, which is one I find awkward. Plus I'd only really wanna play it on an Explorer
  4. Quick question: Has Heartland ever been performed live? And is there a way to find out when certain songs were played?

    Technically 2 questions, but thought of second after writing first so yeah. Thanks in advance.

    I guess I was thinking of Edge playing IWF at Red Rocks. A lot of echo in that version. THBAO seems like a really easy song to do yet I don't have the sheet music for it. BD I won't even attempt cause the sheet music seems all jacked up for it. I wish I had the proper equipment to play songs like Bad and ISHFWILF.
