- Part 1 of tutorial. Cover of U2's "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)." Based on the earlier version of the 360 tour (also the Saturday Night Live Version). All effects done with Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx II. Guitar: Fender Stratocaster with Hotrail pickups and Fernandes Sustainer. See www.u2guitartutorials.com for more information.
So very well played. If anything this shows what a genius of rhythm Edge really is 💜
rythm and sound designer!
Perfect sound really awesome, Melodic Rhythm at it's finest.
Just discovered this. It’s fantastic to watch and sounds perfect. The jump from the 360 bit back into the chorus “ultraviolet” sounds amazing.
Amazing!!!!This is the song of my life...thank you for this fantastic cover!
Very kind of you, thank you!
Any plans to come back?? You are the reason I started playing guitar again.
"Peace of Mind" by Boston (first album released in July 76). Their stuff is timeless. Like it was written and produced yesterday. Tom Scholz is one of my favorite guitarists. Love his tones. He graduated from MIT and built his own gear and is famous for the "Rockman" effect processor.
just a word .... amazing song,....very very good
Your my kinda U2 fan. You pick all the best live versions. 👍
No one touches this cover on youtube better than you! AWESOME! That Axe FX is something else too!
My favourite song of all time, amazing cover. Take a bow!
This is why UA-cam needs to introduce the double thumbs up!!! YES!! Michael is baaack....I've been waiting for this one for a loooong time!!!
Michael,your sound is magnificent , Gorgeous.
Phenomenal Michael. Can't wait for the lessons!
Damn this song always pulls on my heart strings. Great Job as usual
Brilliant, love how this song makes me feel. Really caught me off guard when it came on at the end of the movie Click
Nice job...one of my fav U2 tunes, you did great
Michael, with all your tutorials you make everything seem very easy to do.
Michael, this is brilliant, as you always do. Thanks for your work.
I love all your u2 tutorials the best out there...Thanks
really very good, inspirational stuff man.
+IBTypeR Thanks! Very kind of you. Have a great holiday!
Michael, you're simply awesome! Congratulations! You've helped me a lot! Thank you!
@EdgeFan567: It seems to be common knowledge that maple necks are slightly brighter, but I believe few people can tell. Only way to know would be to compare two necks on the EXACT same guitar which rarely possible. Pups and pup selection (quack, bridge, neck, etc.) affect the tone MUCH more. Judge a neck based on how it feels when you play. Radius of the fret board, type of curve (C, V, etc.), finish, fret size are ALL much more important than maple or rosewood. Many miss these factors.
I hope to see "city of blindings lights" tutorial some time...
Awesome. One of my fave U2 songs. Need to learn this one. Love your vids. so glad to have found your channel. Keep it up. Please do "40" next.
Very enjoyable & professional.
Exceptional as usual, Michael...
People disliked this? Must have been a childhood enemy of his or something :) Great job on the tutorial...informative and sounds great too!
Incredible man, love u2
Loved it! Hugs from 🇧🇷
@U2GuitarTutorials Thank you very much. This is the solution what I've been looking for...
Wow awesome cover man! Can't wait for the tutorial!
Love it!! Thanks for thinks Michael!! And again unbelievable close to the real version (especially the tone, I think the rest is just added by the stadiums "reverb"-effect). Looking forward for the tutorial. Great stuff.
muito bom. tocar u2 não basta ter equipamento, tem que curtir a banda e vc mostro isso tocando em versão live, parabens....... u2 forever
Are you gonna cover the second 1/2 of the song and solo ? Looks like your videos stop in the first section and chorus . Thanks
My favorite song ever!
Yes, absolutely. See the other parts of the tutorial. Note this is only Part 1. I use the delay in the Axe-Fx II. Best digital processor on this planet.
Superbe 👍 you are the best... from France 😉
@FPSGrogan:
Usual Herdim blue. Strings don't matter that much, but I do recommend 0.11s. They chime more than 0.10s in my opinion. I use Rotosound Roto Reds. Very similar to Ernie Ball, but I think the wound strings are smoother.
@silkensky:
Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for Strat (SHR-1). It's their std Hot Rails pup. It's key to this song and WOWY. I believe Edge has them in some of the guitars he uses for this song and WOWY. Fernandes guitars with sustainers come standard with these pups.
great sound
@givvenn:
I use a midi track in Logic to send PC and CC commands to the Axe-Fx II through the USB cable. Logic sends commands just like a foot controller. Logic is my automated Dallas!
@roscaification
I recorded it on my DVR and used Elgato Video Capture to transfer the file from my DVR to an H.264 compressed file on my computer. Whenever I record a show I want to keep, I just hook up the Elgato device to my DVR, play the show and record it. Works great.
Do you think Edge used the explorer on the studio version or other type of guitar? I got the Epiphone Explorer GT but I don't know if I can put a pair of those Hotrails on it, I might put some Gibson humbuckers
Exactly which hot rail pups are those in the neck, mid and bridge? D you like their sound for WOWY and other stuff? They sound killer for this song. Thanks
Oh
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Alright now
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
Oh, come on
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, ultraviolet (oh)
Ultraviolet (oh)
Ultraviolet (oh)
Ultraviolet
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
@BH4462Z:
It's just three strings (I'm using main index finger only to mute top strings in case I hit them). Very simple formations. Tricky part is the right had strumming.
Great job. How did you send MIDI CC? I can't see any foot controller
For some reason your comment only show in my notifications, couldn reply to you there. But thank for wacthing! And for leaving the comment!
Great job man. You play it a bit differently than I do though. Are you palm muting every 4th strum? Can you tab the outré riff for me?
Excellent job covering this amazing song. You think you can cober Window in the skies? That's other amazing one.
Cheers
What are the main differences between the Axe FX Ultra and the Axe FX II?
Michael, which strat do you prefer of the two? Maple vs. Rosewood wise and tone. I mean both are both custom so...just trying to get a feel here.
amazing cover michael!!keep the good work :)
Where did u get the backing track for this?
For these covers I use a midi track in Logic Pro to send the preset and control changes to my Axe-Fx via a USB Midisport 8x8.
How did u get the backing track for this song
Hello man, I'm from Brazil, I think your amazing videos. What effects and delay time you use in Ultraviolet? even more.
Amazing !!!
Amazing. You're a massive help for people like me. Are you able to play Hawkmoon 269? (Lovetown version is best) I'd love to learn that song and I can't find any decent tabs.
Amazing !!!! Michael will you cover the transition played during zoo tv at "I remember when we.." at some point???
Thanks!!!!!
Great tone Michael! Well, since Am's website was shut down, do you mind posting the backing tracks on your website for download?
Can't wait for the rest of the tutorial!
@U2GuitarTutorials:
Play many guitars and get a feel for the frets and thickness of the neck. Do you like how it rests in you hand? Frets to large and "bumpy?" If you are going to play a lot of lead guitar than you probably want a large radius (flatter face) like on a Les Paul, but if you play a lot of rhythm then you may want a smaller radius (more curved face). I like something in between or slightly more curved because I play more rhythm than lead.
there is a small mistake in the end of the second verse ( around 2:29) where you constantly play an extra note where The Edge does not in the Rose Bowl version.
just great
Great job as usual!! I wish I had that automated Dallas Logic thing :) By the way, I think The Edge uses the whammy bar or something during the Fuzz Pi section that starts at 3.24 in your tutorial. It's either that, another effect, or he just moves the finger on the fret to get a kind of "spooky" guitar sound, like a theremin. It can be heard on the Sheffield gig and some others
Well done brother...
my friend great videos! please do miracle drug someday or One! those are amazing!
Oh ok nice. Sounds just like Edge! Have you covered Hold me thrill me yet. I have been playing it a lo lately but there are. Few parts I cant figure out.
It can come close but not quite. I have Seymour Duncan Hotrails in this guitar. Edge uses Hotrails on this song. Hotrails are a single coil humbucker. A regular single coil pup won't have the same tone.
really good job
pretty sick. we need some boston tutorials too lol thanks for adding some ideas so i can play it better such as delay times, much appreciated
whats that midi device you were using to turn off fuzz?
@guitarforlif: Too many to list here. See Fractal Audio's website and forum for lengthy answers to this question. Also, see the manuals which are also on their website.
@RobertRiffs: Thx. The effects to come in future videos. I put the delay times in the comments in the video (in the red boxes).
Muy bueno!!!!! Tome su like!
Your neck pickout is a Fernandes sustainer?
Thanks a lot
Are you useing a delay pedal? and if so which one?
very very nice played.
greets, macedonian
@IPODBAD:
Sure, I'll try to cover it in the tutorial.
Fantástico. Could you tell us the paramet in your Axe
Great sound!!! Can i have same sound with fender american standard pickup??? help!!!!
@clmsntigr113: Thx! No, I'm taking pressure off the strings with my left hand to mute. Watch my fingers release. Sorry, I don't do tabs. I don't have the time. I'm recording the tutorials and will edit and post them over the coming weeks.
Wow, cool.
@clmsntigr113:
Not yet. See my channel page for play lists. Everything I've done is organized by song in play lists. Will be a long time until I get to that one.
@CharlyHH77:
Not yet, have to transfer presets by hand. Ouch!
@windsindicate
Yes
@marcb95000
Best to post this question on our new forum: forumdotu2guitartutorialsdotcom. Link on my channel page. Short answer is, yes, the FET drive is a model in the Axe II.
@IPODBAD
Thx! See Part 15 for Zoo TV version.
buenisimo..!
I really like ur tutos man, could u please upload the guitar of INTO THE HEART? thank u a lot bye =)
Thx, it's on the list but I won't get to it for a long time.
bravissimo
Muito bom
my heat sang...ty
this version is too better than explorer version :)
bem legal o som sou guita do mercado livre.....
I always thought it sounded a bit like pride
plz Kite!
like,like,like
2:54 rhythm of chorus is not 'quite' right check out sherm911 ultrviolet he has it down
I listened carefully to a few inter ear monitor versions of Edge himself. Styles can vary. To each their own. I don't claim to get everything perfect.
Compare to the Edge here on 360 version. I'm pretty darn close if not correct. U2 - Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
