Especially with Achtung Baby and Zooropa, U2 and The Edge possessed a cool factor that no one else had. It was always out of left from anything I was listening too at the moment. Throughout it all, no oneвЂ™s guitar style excited me quite like The Edge. Everything has its nerd culture - including guitar.ДЄt different times in my teenage years I was wholly obsessed with: Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Seattle Grunge music, and finally Indie-rock as a rejection of all those at the beginning of the list. Much like the proverbialВ psychology/philosophy graduate, snubbing his nose at the world from behind a coffee shop counter. вЂњThe Edge is overratedвЂќ is typically a sentiment among snarky, elitist musicians that have nothing to show for their work. вЂњMinimalistвЂќ is relative because IвЂ™m comparing The Edge to his haters: guys practicing sweep arpeggios that impress everybody but actual girls.ДЄlthough, as evidenced from his riffage on Until the End of the World - The Edge is modern day Jimi Hendrix. The Edge revolutionized guitar with his clever use of effect driven, minimalist playing. He chooses the band, the song, and the listenerвЂ™s emotion. HeвЂ™s clearly a capable guitar player that chooses restraint and innovation. U2вЂ™s David Howell Evans (or The Edge) might be the greatest rock guitar player of the past 35 years. But I had to school this young man verbally, with the video above, and with this accompanying blog post. I was young once (IвЂ™m 39) and I get the brash assertions young men make. The Sau Paulo Video gives the Solo away.A young man, kind of metalhead, boldly exclaimed to me the other day that The Edge is the most overrated guitar player ever. I've seen a load of videos and I was right under the edge at one of the popmart shows for alot of the song so I think I`m pretty correct. That is the complete version of the song as far as I can make out. Then finish with the top two strings ringing open Repeat the above riff sereral times, then return to the MAIN RIFF, repeat it When Bono sings 'La la la la.' and so on. The solo is simply a variation of the power Em chord.Д«-8-8-8- continue to G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-nine-9-9-9- Repeat this 4 times, then playДЇor the ending solo, you need to keep the low, open E going (or sustained) Edge never plays it the same anyway so there is lots of room for manipulation, but remember the glisses must be fast and sharp to get the desired effect.ДЄfter the solo, play the MAIN RIFF and the riff from Verse 2 again:Д«-7-7-7. The symbol / means gliss sharply and b means bend the string up to the note shown. Note: I will only Tab the B string since it is all played on this string but where I mark XXX Strike the A + D strings open (with respect to the capo) and leave them to ring. This one becomes very simple when you see the Edge play it on the Sau Paulo Popmart Bootleg Video. SOLO: A Very simple typical Edge type Solo.

VERSE 2: (new riff, repeat twice NOTE '.' means continue w/ same tab) PRE-CHORUS: (slightly different style here)Д®xcept you, you were talking about the end of the worldДЄgain it is in apperegio (With respect to the capo) as follows:Д®-0-0-0-3-2-Д«-3-3-3-0-0-0-3-3 I was down the hole just passing by (.and so on.)

VERSE 1: Pick Bm, D, and Em chords apperegio (With respect to the capo) *NOTE: the '2/-12-' part is a slide from the second fret to the 12thД®dge plays this with alot of overdrive and as far as I've heard it's only played using the PA | tablatures | lyrics | more tabs ДЄll chords are with respect to the CAPO on the 3RD FRET.Д«- x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x.
