what abaut this tab??

Hi there,
Here is the tab for this song. I don't usually do this sort of thing as it takes too long to work out but I don't mind just this once. Enjoy!
The whole song is played on the first three strings E, B and G apart from the E and A major chords in the middle.

For this backing track I played the main riff in the following place:
'X' - strings muted with index finger to create percussive effect.

E-----X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X
B-----10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11
G-----10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-11-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10
D-----X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X

E-----11-11-11-11-11-11-10-10-10-10-10-10
B-----11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11
G-----10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10
D-----X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X

The 'Ultraviolet' singing section is as follows:

E----12-12--12-12--12-12--12-12-12-12--12--11----11
B----9--10--9--10--9--10--9--10-9------------------
G----9--9---9--9---9--9---9--9--9--11---------11--- THEN:

E----12-12--12-12--12-12--12-12-----------12------
B----9--10--9--10--9--10--9--10-9------10----10----
G----9--9---9--9---9--9---9--9----10-9----------9--

Here's the 'Baby Baby Baby Light My Way' bit:

E---X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X---X--X--X---
B---13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13--13-13-13--
G---10-10-10-10-10-9/10/9/10-10-10-10-- X 2
D---X--X--X--X--X--X-X--X-X--X--X--X---

E---X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X---X--X--X---
B---11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--11-11-11--
G---10-10-10-10-10-9/10/9/10-10-10-10-- X 2
D---X--X--X--X--X--X-X--X-X--X--X--X---

And finally, here's the picked middle section under 'And I remember when we could sleep on stone' after the E and A chords.

E------------------------------------------10-9-------
B---12-9----9-----12-9----9-----12-10-9-10------12-10- X 2?
G--------11------------11-----------------------------



The last time play:

E------------------------------------------10-9-10-12--
B---12-9----9-----12-9----9-----12-10-9-10-------------
G--------11------------11------------------------------

This is basically the whole song. I hope this helps.
Oh, and please don't let on I've tabbed this as I will be inundated with requests I can't do. I don't mind doing this as a one-off as a special but I don't have the time spare to keep tabbing.

Also, I hope this gets to you OK and not all out of sync as has happened before.

[GonzaU2-Spain]

Anyone know the correct delay settins for ultraviolet, cheers x

Anyone know the correct delay settins for ultraviolet, cheers x

Try this rule of thumb.

find out the bpm/tempo. (count the beats for 30 seconds and double it)

Divide the bpm by factors of 15, 30, 45, and 60.

Then try those 4 numbers and choose the one that closely matches and then tweak it from there.

Edge uses double delay a lot, so if you have a single pedal it will be a tough match but you can find one close enough to play a cool version.

The absolutely best chords IMHo are those of this guy (imho they certainly fit to the 360 live version), though his effect setting might need a bit improvement.

YouTube - U2 Ultraviolet Guitar Tutorial + tabs

I think a big characteristic of the 360 version are the noticeable high notes in the main chord.

Thats my try of replaying Ultraviolet (POD X3 Live and Fender Stratocaster used). Still working on the right up-/downstrokes:

Not the best version, already playing it different fitting the rhythm of the main parts, but thats the only version I recorded right now.

This one has the 360 slide towards the end:

Cool version. Though I think in the middle part he has mixed some guitar scenes together separately recording them. But nice nevertheless. And nice sound.

 

[Ellay]

Thank you all for this

 

[Chrisedge]

Love all the backing tracks. Esp the one in post #11

Here's how I play it, sounds a lot more like the live versions than most of the other tabs kicking around. (Tune down 1/2 step).

For the chorus :
(Remember the delay creates some of the sound here. A guy above tabbed out part of this section erroneously (8-9-8-9). The delay creates the second '8-9' sound.
