Part 1: With or Without You (U2 Cover: Rattle & Hum) with Axe-Fx Ultra
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- Cover of U2's With or Without You. Part 1 of guitar tutorial. Based on the live version from Rattle & Hum. Recorded entirely with Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx Ultra. See www.u2guitartutorials.com for more information.
What amazes me about this is that it's not about guitar skills. It's about technology skills. It is really easy to play this song, but to get each sound to be perfect is almost impossible. The Edge is a Genious on this matter since he used technology in his music in an incredible way. And this guy is really skilled, for he has achieved something that edge created in an almost perfect way. Congrats.
So kind of you, but Edge gets all the credit for being the creator. I just listen, practice and emulate.
Amazing performance!! And welcome ALL to modeling (Fractal Axe, Line 6 Helix and so forth...)!!
Yago Crispim i dont think its about technology skills, the same technology is available for everyone. Its about creativity and musicallity. Edge is by far at the top of that list
Edge plays what others invented and made easy for him, its the result of alot of work by others to invent easy to play riffs live that sound great. Edge is the brick layer , not the architect
I would say it is more about getting you timing really, really on point than any "technology skills". Being able to play with a dotted eight-note delay (or dotted quarter-note delay) is non-trivial when every instinct is pulling you to go with the delay as the tempo, instead of playing 1/3 slower or faster. (Which is all it really is when you break down the math.)
It is the first time in decades that I utilize a metronome. Try using one of those and playing just quarter notes with either of the delays before trying to jump right up to The Edge's "easy" playing. =)
Who thumbs down these videos. The guy goes out of his way to post these videos and that's the thanks he gets. The Edge himself could not do a better job of teaching. Thanks U2 GT. You are awesome. keep up the great work.
Thx for the support. It's ok, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't mind constructive feedback or thumbs down. If I get rude, insecure or unprofessional comments, I just delete them and block the channel. ;-)
I meant to say, The Edge himself couldn't do a better job. Yeah, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but that doesn't mean you want to hear it. :)
+L Vinson I know, right? I reckon it's for either reason: 1) jealousy that someone can play the song better than they can or 2) U2 haters with nothing better in their life to do than to pick on someone's cover. I can't even begin to think of how much time Michael has spent into analyzing the sound (tone and effects) and then the work spent on replicating it, before even thinking of putting together the tutorials. Having done one complete analysis and replication of only one U2 song myself, I can only hazard a guess. My absolute respect to Michael for not only his work on these songs but his generosity in sharing them.
Thank you! You made my day!
I could listen to this all day :)
It's cool how your dog is just chilling in the back.
Hahahaa the puppy in the background :)
Ackdaddy100 And three pups on the guitar itself!
You are awesome, I am so lucky to have found this channel this video was uploaded 10 years ago and still I can't get enough of it plus the tutorial 🙌🏻
With the help of this guy we are doing Where The Streets Have No Name with our band. And it's well received. Thanks so much man, it's so scaringly accurate. Love it.
You're so welcome!
Absolutely NAILED that tone!!! Excellent work and thanks for sharing!
I take nothing away from everyone who finds it in his heart to use this forum to teach others what they know. But you Sir are the best I have come across and I absolutely love you for it. Thanks a lot .
I have no musical talents, I just visit to watch and hear you play. Amazing....
My friend, I'm playing this over and over and over...and thanks to your time, expertise and generosity, I'm learning to play this song that I love. I can't thank you enough for all that you do. I have looked at some of your other exceptional tutorials as well. You are awesome!! Thanks so much!! Love the pup...mine loves the guitar music as well. :)
I picked up a guitar for the first time during lock down and thanks to your tutorials, I can now play along with WoWY, Bad, IWF and AIWIY. Thank you so much for the dedication that you show :)
top man vid geezer. i cant help but keep watching it over and over.
cheers neil
Expert. Outstanding. Thank you! I'm obsessed about that outro Edge plays.
That was amazing, sounded like I was listening to Rattle and Hum when I closed my eyes. Spot on perfect, great cover!
Absolutely amazing..love the high notes at 4:55
superb playing, attention to detail is stunning, great to see a clear love and passion for guitar and this band combined. I love attempting your tutorials on acoustic! great for a finger work out!!
Love it. Going to try bits of this tomorrow night (we play this in my band, but as part of a medley). It's my favourite part of the gig
You make the handcrafting of U2 so much more attractive with your videos! Thank you so much... I'm listening more 'your' songs the original ones, because I enjoy that aspect of you their music :-) Goodluck... i hope, I can learn a few of the songs too with your help.. Take care!
You nailed that one. I think this is your best cover. Sounded perfect, you played it perfect. This is my favorite song of all time. Can't wait for the tutorial.
brilliant, one of my fave songs, and fave version from rattle an hum. can't wait for the tutorials!!
Hi Michael. I have to say those settings of yours are absolutely brilliant. Very good work and THANK YOU again for your didactic labour!
I've listened to that song a thousand times and u were spot on! I mean...just WOW!!! U inspired me to learn Streets and so i did (from your instruction) This song will be next if i can figure out how to get the garage band app on my mac to aound right for this song. Thank you so much for what you give to the world!!!
Mike Olson Thx for your kind words!
WOW.....Fantastic Michael.
The Intro was just amazing.
mate if it wasn't for you. I would have given up. thanks for your time and effort and helping me out. cheers buddy. uk guitar player.
thank you for this helpful video man
sounds great. love the sustainer pick up. thanks for the vid.
Top performance. Soo live and real, soft and hard in one time....
wow you did a great job, honestly it really sounds like the Edge's guitar playing, keep it up.
Awesome dude! Played perfectly! It sounds like you didn’t even play it at all and just played the song over the background that’s how much it sounds exactly like the original. The Edge would be proud! God Bless Brother, one of my favourite songs also!
It seems a long time since someone has written a message hear but first of all I want to thank Michael for all the effort, time and dedication that he put on making this series of video tutorial. I can say for sure that these are the most detailed U2 tutorials someone can find, and for that once again, thank you Michael.
I hope you and your family are doing fine in the middle of this difficult times of pandemic. In this confinement and restrictions in travelling these videos have been a relief for me because it allows me to hear great covers from my favourite band and spend part of my time learning the songs.
Finally I just have a question. Does anyone knows why the U2 guitar tutorials forum page isn’t working? There were a lot of interesting stuff for us U2 fans that want to lear their songs.
Greetings from Mexico to you all
Fantastic! ….and i thought for what are sunstainers and this shimmer thang in my hall of fame II, now i know thanks!
Great cover, can't wait to see the completed tutorial.
I love it, Michael. Great work! EWB
Hahaha! Love the dog @ 3:38, pops up, 'Is that right?' thinks about posting a you toob comment, then just chills again.
great stuff and a great dog too.
you've outdone yourself again Michael...that was absolutely fantastic. Thank you again for generously sharing what you've learned. I've got to get myself those pups and sustainer. I'm in NYC too, btw.
Amazing!
Simply perfect!
amazing sounds like orginał thanks for the lessons
So much Perfect !
@TheEdge2002
Arcade Fire from Canada. The song is called Wake Up. U2 used it for the intro to their Vertigo tour concerts and then Bono starts to say "Everyone.... Every... one.... "
Coming from a long time U2 fan, you did great, man.
Amazing sound you've got going on in this. You could easily fill in for the Edge. I'm a huge Edge and U2 fan. Great job!
Wow... amazing.
Awesome. I am a beginner. I recorded some of it and it sounds amazing. Thanks a million.
You can change lifes with these videos.
ruben Perez I'm also a beginner, would you mind sharing the video? Also, what equipment do you use?
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Love it.
Great job...!!! thanks for help..
Amazing
have searched for years for the accurate tab or vids of this song and still havnt found and in these vids i have come to the end of that search...will return for the techno details later but fantastic vids....of fantastic and difficult to really replicate songs but your doin it as close as the great man (Mr Evans) himself....or is that you in these headless shots LOL great stuff....
VERY cool michael!!!
I love this..
through the storm we reach the shore, you give it all, but I want more..with you..we shine like stars in the summer night..we shine like stars in the winter night..one heart..one love..one..I love you Bono, I love U2
Puffff amazing!!!
Love that dog ❤️
OK this is eye opener! I went to great lengths to try to suss out how Edge got the sustain on that intro. I always thought he used an 'E-bow'? Ive also bought a Fernandez 'infinite sustain' Stratocaster - putting it through a Line 6 DL4 stompy......... But here you nailed it with WHAT?? Is this what the Axe-Fx ultra can do?? OMG. You SMASHED this out of the Rose Bowl dood. Theres a few attempts on YT at this into but nothing as close as this TOP MARKS!
Thank you! Edge did use an E-bow in the early days and later used a sustainer.
Great! Thanks!!
very good cover. perfect.
Just Music 🎶🎵✌
Neck pup is a sustainer. You can get kits and build them in or buy a Fernandez guitar which builds them in.
the secret weapon of this video is your dog. Excellent cover
@RobertRiffs: I bought the kit but didn't use the bridge pup it comes with. I bought a Hotrail bridge and middle pup and used those instead. But when driver is on, it only uses signal from the bridge no matter what the pup switch is set for. I recommend a pro install it. Lot of routing and shielding required. Not easy to do. Or just buy a Fernandes guitar.
what a good dog! I think he likes it!
Great!!! Amazing cover, you got it perfectly right. Looking forward to the tutorials.
I thing I'll have a hard with the beginning and switching from the sustainer part to the playing part at the 9-12 frets - as I am using an Ebow and if I see it right you switch the strings and also play 2 strings in parallel. Both can hardly be done with an Ebow.
I hope you give a few hints in the first sections how this part could be done with the Ebow as I think a lot of people are using it.
Keep it going!
@DarkWriter31
This guitar is actually a Fender Strat that I had assembled from Custom Shop parts, and then I had a guitar tech install the Fernandes sustainer system with Hotrail pups just like the Fernandes guitar.
U2 Guitar Tutorials I noticed in a video The Edge uses an Ed O’Brien issue Strat with the sustainer
Perfect !!!
How's my favorite guitar tutor? I see you have aquired a sustainer set up. I purchased the Fernades Vertigo. Edge played with or with out with vertigo on boston dvd. I love it. Your stuff is sounding perfect man. Keep up good work. William
sound perfect...
Amazing cover!!! I cant wait to see the tutorial for this, looks like im gona need to pik up an Ebow for the intro.
Rattle and Hum version. My favorite. Your dog is thoroughly unimpressed
Perfecto!
GREAT!
bravo!
I love this so mch..
through the storm we reach the shore, you give it all, but I want more..with you..we shine like stars in the summer night..we shine like stars in the winter night..one heart..one love..one..I love you Bono, I love U2
Had to watch this twice because the first time I didn't even hear you playing because I was so focused on the dog wondering if it was gonna do something.
대박👍🙈✈
Yes, Edge has used an eBow on this song also. Just easier with a built in sustainer.
That was my next question about Edge using an Ebow, but I have never heard of a built in sustainer. Do you have any information on this type of sustainer?
love the dog :)
verry well sow good !!
Esses harmônicos me tocam na alma ♥♥
esta increíble y escucharte cantar tienes una voz muy limpia y clara me encantó tocas muy padre llegaste mis expectativas con este tutorial amo esta canción
geniaaaaaallll !
Great play, You seem to have a lot of money for having so good guitar and effects,...and I like your dog!
+Arnaud Poiret Thank you! Unfortunately, we lost Mila in Dec 2014.
R.I.P. Mila😢
Edge used to use an eBow. Now he uses a sustainer guitar. Check out Fernandes guitars. I have a Fernandes sustainer built into this Strat. The neck pup is a driver that vibrates the strings infinitely.
The puppy in the back is like what the fuck is going on here, I need some sleep.....
Eu fan do u2 anos. Timbre bom Mandou bem.
wooooooow
10/10
Most of the back tracks produced are 1/2 step down because they are based on live versions of the songs. I think this is based on R&H. U2 tunes down a 1/2 step on a lot of songs to make it easier on Bono's voice.
@KWENIG1
Correct, Hot Rails in bridge and middle. Sustainer in neck. That's how Fernandes sets up their guitars (and Edge). I don't use quack much. It doesn't have the quack like a set of vintage pups.
very good my brother peru....
great
