I've only been playing U2 songs for the last 2+ years. I'm learning these songs for the first time and don't claim to be an expert or get every note perfect. I hope this site is helpful to fans of the Edge and U2.

Awesome, awesome job. Can't say enough good things about you for sharing your knowledge and time for us all. Your WOWY cover gives me chills. Luv that R&H vid. One question: When you use the Axefx for the ac30 sim, what do you actually play through? I have a Korg ax3000g multifx to a vox pathfinder. Amp sims sound horrid cuz of the pathfinder. My ac30 sim only sounds decent when I play thru my puter soundcard.

Each song takes me about 4 to 8 weeks to learn. Then another 4 to 8 weeks to practice. Then I produce a cover video. The tutorial takes about 4 to 12 weeks. All of this depends on my work schedule. As I improve my skills, hopefully it will take less time going forward for new tutorials.

Great question. I started lessons at 8 yrs old. Played into high school and then stopped. Became a decent rhythm guitarist (no lead at all). I picked up the guitar again after going to my first U2 concert in 2005. I have decent technique, a good sense of rhythm, and a good ear. I do not read music or know any of the basic scales. I cannot improvise at all. I slow the songs down with "slow downer" software, watch the Edge in videos and find the notes. Then I practice many hours. I'm essentially burning in "muscle memory." I DO NOT consider myself anything close to an accomplished musician. Time and patience pays off. Believe me, anyone can do it, but you have to invest many hours each week.

By the way, how long had you been playing before figuring these out?

I just want to add my two cents - There are many of us out here that really appreciate all of the work you have put into these tutorials. They really are the best instructionals I've seen on the web. The explanations are great, and really helps - in many cases even more than showing the actual notes.  Thanks!
