Is the 2nd riff that starts at 0:20 correct? It sounds like you're playing something completely different then Edge does.

In my opinion, it sounds really good Toopy.
Maybe the playing is not 100% like the Edge, but who really cares ?
For you to compare, my own attempt.
I should manage to complete learning the song
(I also use an auto-wah, just because I don't have an expression pedal myself)
I remember having learned the main riff with this video
To me it sounds that you're playing the riff right, just like Andy did in the vid.
the tab says:
e-10-10-10-7-7-7-7---|--10-10-10-7-7-7-7--
b-----------------------------------------------------
e-----------------------------------------------------
b-10-10-10-7-7-7-7---|--10-10-10-7-7-7-7--
And my ears tell me it should be this as I clearly hear the 9 being played.
e-10---10-9---9-7-------|-10---10-9---9-7----
b----------------------------------------------------
e-----------------------------------------------------
b-10---10-9---9-7-------|-10---10-9---9-7-----
I always played it like that by the way.
I think it's just an issue with the autowah. For this song I think you really need to use a manual wah and just fucking pump it. It is hell on your ankle, but the sound is a lot better and you can control it if you mess up.
Muad'zin, appreciate the feedback! I'm just a bit confused, as we're now talking about 4 versions in the thread. Are you saying that Manu68 is playing the riff correctly, like Andy's tutorial?
Is the tab you posted what you hear Edge playing in the Baltimore video?
Manu said he based his playing on what Andy did, and I hear the same notes being played in the Baltimore video. So to me it sounds that the only thing that is wrong is your version based on the tab. Cause I hear that descending minor lick in every version except yours. Which means the tab has to be wrong. To my ears. Which now makes me even more curious to hear how the tab sounds in the 2nd part, as Andy never did that part. The high notes over I Have No Compass
The more I listen to it, the more I think you're right. I hear the descending notes in there, I think Edge is playing it either 10-7-9-7-7-7-7-7 with straight 8th notes, or 10-7-10-9-7-7-7-7-7 with the 2nd and 3rd notes being 16th notes..
Do you mind posting a link to it? Thanks!I changed the tab and reuploaded it, thanks Muad'zin for pointing out my mistake
