Edosounds - U2 Bad guitar cover (and tutorial)

[@jeffreysurette1901]

You captured the edge. You are great and you inspire me to keep my Strat. So glad to see that a Strat is still relèvent. No Les Paul or any humbucker guitar has that single coil chime and purity .❤❤❤

[@DB-vx5cm]

I can’t play an instrument, admire people who can do seven things at once. And I was a pro athlete who could hit a 100mph fastball. Love U2 and their sound. I see now how it is made. Wide Awake in America.

[@longsnapper5381]

Basically just 2 chords for 99% of the song (A and D). U2 are masters of taking something very simple and making it really tasty.......The band is all bout supporting the singer , not how fast you can play a million notes on your instrument. Still my favorite band and I'm musician.

[@markterrence832]

WOW- dude, you have it locked! Great delays and tone, and perfect timing. Best still, you captured the true spirit oh his part/song.

[@declanfitzpatrick8268]

Not quite. The tone and delay is great. But if you ever watch The Edge playing it, on the main riff he doesn't stop while the high notes are ringing out. He goes back to playing the muted A and D strings. I like that you out in the pull offs that he used in the Live Aid version, but doesn't use so often these days.

[@txpooldoc]

@@declanfitzpatrick8268 You sir are absolutely correct.

[@HoratioPercivalClackerbarrel]

Lovely. A beautiful sound, many thanks from all U2 Fans.

[@vanzantm]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your playing without the delay demo is the piece that will help me finally be able to play this correctly and sound correct. I've gotten most all of your presets for Axe FX2 and they are amazing! Just wanted to say keep up the awesome work and thanks again for helping show how you play these great songs in easy to follow demos! I highly recommend getting Edo's presets for anyone that has an Fractal/Axe product!

[@andrewsmith-xk3mu]

Can I just say Edo that was outstanding playing and tone is exceptional.massive thankyou for your free backing tracks you supplied to members of u2gt.absolutely brilliant.

[@tomjohns5146]

@george trrattar dude you're the best ,please do more !

[@markharford9814]

love that it wasnt studio note for note, more like a live performance, awesome

[@MichaelGeoghegan-zi3kh]

Wow man if Edge ever needs a stand in YOU ARE THE MAN - brilliant playing, you would think it is the Edge, LOVE IT - Mike - North Dublin/ BALLYMUN

A classic but a must-do for your video collection, thank you Edo and keep posting videos ! Great play !

[@damonrobinson1657]

Thank you. Have enjoyed your playing and tutorials for a long time. Hope you keep it going.

[@JandeJongePBPLtd]

This song I'm addicted to, almost... :) This rendition is very-very close to Edge's.. 98/99% I'd say. Awesome Edo!!

[@fernandojaviermartinsanche7103]

Great cover and tutorial, great work!!! Thank you so much Edo 👍🙂

[@danielwolbeck413]

Great solo! Great playing! Love your tutorials! :)

[@tscott6843]

Love this. You nail it. I like the sustain which seems is a little longer than Edge’s.

[@jeffreysurette1901]

I want so badly to play bad by U2, you have almost made it possible for me.😮🎉

[@leeh9938]

Thanks for the tutorial Edo, 1st class 🎸🎶 👍🇬🇧

[@jeffreysurette1901]

I even love the locking strap buttons on your Strat, same as mine, from Germany and chrome.😅

[@davidsanchez2640]

Vaya pasada...lo haces igual....me has emocionado,que sonido mas real😅...enhorabuena!!!!!!...eresvun crack!!!!!😊

[@txpooldoc]

A very important thing to note here is the pick and how he holds the pick. Great job Edo! Im loving using your AxeFX-III patches!

[@andyferno9274]

My man !! Let’s see your face, Edge 😉 outstanding. I’ve been playing this song for years you just showed me wut I was doing wrong.. awesome,great work thank you tons

[@Max-he2dn]

How many pedals do you use and what pedal do you use

[@andrewsmith7946]

Hi edo. Hope you are well friend. Just letting you know that I have now got myself a new guitar and a new amp. There not the best in the world but will do for now. The amp has amp modelling so going to get stuck in the tweaking lol.Make the best of what I have. Speak soon buddy. Great cover. Like you need telling haha lol.

[@EdoFaiella]

Andrew Smith good luck and have fun!!

[@smtcharlie]

I’ve heard this song a zillion times and this sounds dead on, nice! Usually, people can’t get Edge’s tone in covers. Including me… still trying …

[@hwy1310]

Love your U2 lessons….thanks man!

[@ikonhero]

Nailed it!

[@DGNoocito]

Edo, conviertes la musica en pura energia. Soy adicto a escuchar tus composiciones una y otra vez. Eres de lo mejor. Thank you.

[@TheChemaone]

If you twist and turn away If you tear yourself in two again If I could, yes I would If I could, I would Let it go Surrender Dislocate If I could throw this Lifeless lifeline to the wind Leave this heart of clay See you walk, walk away Into the night And through the rain Into the half-light And through the flame If I could through myself Set your spirit free I'd lead your heart away See you break, break away Into the light And to the day To let it go And so to fade away To let it go And so fade away I'm wide awake I'm wide awake Wide awake I'm not sleeping Oh, no, no, no If you should ask then maybe they'd Tell you what I would say True colors fly in blue and black Blue silken sky and burning flag Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes If I could, you know I would If I could, I would Let it go... This desperation Dislocation Separation Condemnation Revelation In temptation Isolation Desolation Let it go And so fade away To let it go And so fade away To let it go And so to fade away I'm wide awake I'm wide awake Wide awake I'm not sleeping Oh, no, no, no

great! great! the most beautiful song of the world!!!

[@forrestwright5981]

@@jefferson7468 yep, true fact

[@spikelive]

Grazie, thank you. Perfetto , per me , il miglior sound(setting) per bad ,insieme a quello di mick3b1g ( che chiamo scherzando edge 2.0). Grazie ancora. The best "bad setting)" with mick3b1g!

[@fishmank27]

So good. So I had always thought this was a single delay but I think it’s .8th and maybe a 1/4 note delay too? One louder than the other? Single delay just doesn’t seem quite right

[@EdoFaiella]

fishmank27 it depends on the tour. I think up to 360 tour it was 2 delays, I+E and JT17 it’s one delay only.

[@fishmank27]

@@EdoFaiella If it is two, you are just using a quarter and dotted 8th? Is your video one delay? I guess that would be a better question. It sounds spot on but I cannot seem to get that with one delay thx

[@EdoFaiella]

fishmank27 my video is one delay only, 433ms, 40% wet, 5-6 repeats (second delay would be 552ms with a very low mix).

[@lucasberto3219]

Amazing tone and playing! I love U2 and I play guitar only in my house, the Axe FX is extremely expensive here in Brazil, do you have any multiprocessor effect to suggest for me, that intend only to play at home? Thanks!

[@olucasguerra]

you can get a great tone using any recent BOSS multieffect that has a double delay option

[@lucasberto3219]

@@olucasguerra I got a pod hd500, in conjunction with a joyo ac tone. I'm having a great time so far.

Lucas, I use a line 6 m13. A popular multi effects stomp-box on a budget (around £200 on ebay). A lot of effects for the money.

[@andrewsmith7946]

Hi edo.i use a vox tonelab se. Which has a korg dl8000r modeller also does the korg sdd3ooo delay. Which would you use out of the 2.Thankyou for your help and feedback. Andy.uk.

[@EdoFaiella]

sorry, I had missed your question! Well, the most obvious answer would be the sdd3000, although I always suggest to use your ears, as sometimes modelers name an algorithm after some sought after effect, but in the end the only thing they have in common is the name (think of most line6 models, some sound good, some sound great, but if you do an A/B comparison with the effects they're named after, they're very far off!). Also, keep in mind that the Edge has mostly used the tc2290 (and the axe fx 2290 sim) for probably 80% of the delays since the elevation tour, with the sdd used as second delay on dual delay presets, and for some specific old songs (electric co, I will follow etc)

[@andrewsmith7946]

@@EdoFaiella thankyou very much Edo. I understand what you're saying. I recently had my equipment stolen in a burglary so I have nothing left. So got to start again.

[@peterlightning9235]

I never knew there was a solo in this song. I did, but I just thought it was more of a bridge an a solo.

[@EdoFaiella]

Well, by definition a solo is “a musical performance in which one person is given special attention”, I would say the guitar gets the attention in that part (unless we watch live aid! Lol)

[@aidenmulligan9660]

Cool de school

[@Samueldonovan2007]

Six people bought your presets thinking that they could just play the song by buying your present. I hate when people do that to you

[@EdoFaiella]

Sam Donovan I’m not sure I understand.. is that a compliment or an offense?? 🤔

[@Samueldonovan2007]

Edo Faiella I’m trying to say that the six people who disliked your video probably bought your preset thinking that if they bought your preset they could make it sound exactly like you without having to try to get anything else right. It’s a complement to how great your presets are, and an offense to those who think all they need to do is buy your presets

[@EdoFaiella]

@@Samueldonovan2007 aaaa, I get it now! Well, not necessarily: usually the dislikes come from U2 haters who generally end up hating whoever shows love towards them somehow! lol
