Vertigo guitar tab

[muller]

ok for those of you who heard the song just wanna know if you think these are right:

intro/verse: E5 A5/G5/F#5

chorus: E5 D5 G5 A5

very basic, but does it sound right to you guys

thanks

 

[TheFlyOnTheWall]

it sure does sound GREAT on my guitar!

 

[gragravar]

On first listen I'd say the verse riff is basically an E alternated with D for a bar, then B, Bflat, A for the second bar. Chorus looks right though. I'm at work so no guitar handy to test that out though...

I'll have to get Paul's opinion...he called me at about 2 PM playing the damn thing already...

LOL

 

[nick_u2]

I figured it out before I saw this and you're right

There's some harmonics once and awhile

 

[Mr_LeMon]

Just put Vertigo to our setlist for our next Monday gig! HOLA!

Got new Bman shades G Vox?

 

[gvox]

Well I guess you'll get to play it live first..we're going to play it at practice tonite...our gig tonite got cancelled cause the venue went bankrupt...JEEZ!

OK, a revision now that I've got a guitar and can try it out... the main riff is E for the first bar, the second is an A/G#/G progression. Nice riff...

How about this:

Intro
e--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G-----7/9--7/9--7/9-----------------------------
D-----7/9--7/9--7/9----7--7--7--7---6--5-----
A-----5/7--5/7--5/7----7--7--7--7---6--5-----
E--------------------------5--5--5--5---4--3-----

Verse - "Lights go down, it's dark..."
e---x----------------------------------------------
B---x---------------------------------------------
G---x----------------------------------------------
D---x----------------------------------------------
A---x-----------------------------------------------
E---x----------------------------------------------
Just palm mute, classic edge.

Chorus - "Hello, hello"
e---------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---9-----7---------------------------------------
D---9-----7-----5-----7--------------------------
A---7-----5-----5-----7--------------------------
E----------------3-----5-------------------------- Listen for rythym.

Then repeat the intro.
e--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G-----7/9--7/9--7/9-----------------------------
D-----7/9--7/9--7/9----7--7--7--7---6--5-----
A-----5/7--5/7--5/7----7--7--7--7---6--5-----
E--------------------------5--5--5--5---4--3-----

Second Verse
e---x----------------------------------------------
B---x---------------------------------------------
G---x----------------------------------------------
D---x----------------------------------------------
A---x-----------------------------------------------
E---x----------------------------------------------

Then, the part with classic edge delay, when bono sings
"They know that they can't dance, at least they know..."

e-----12----10----10--------12----10----10----------------
B--------10-----10-----10-------10-----10-----10---------
G---------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------

I agree with whoever posted the solo, that sounds right....
