Give me one more chance, and i'm gonna make you DESCRIBE

[discothequeLP]

^ wayne! you know on Zoo Station, how there's that high pitched bell-like sound that edge does? you can do that on your les paul!

 

[waynetravis]

^ i can?

how?

 

[discothequeLP]

^ you know that part right above the bridge, where the strings go up? if you pick the string right there, you'll get the sound.

 

[waynetravis]

it sounds like the live version

 

[discothequeLP]

^ ohh yeah. you can see him do it on the chicago dvd

 

[waynetravis]

i haven't really noticed
but now i have a guitar, i will

i'm just getting used to using one, i've never played before

i want to try Elevation, but Edge uses a foot pedal thing

 

[U2vertigofly]

^i'd try simple stuff like SBS intro or miracle drug, very simple

Heres mine:

:shifty:

 

[discothequeLP]

^^ elevation is a good song to learn, but that intro is pretty hard to copy effects-wise. the rest of the song is great though.

 

[waynetravis]

i'm using that Guitar Pro software at the moment, because it shows me where to place my fingers.
plus i get to hear how it sounds too through the software

 

[U2vertigofly]

i've discovered that when using a slide, strats can be annoying

 

[discothequeLP]

^ i've discovered that when using a slide, slides can be annoying

 

[waynetravis]

i'm trying Miracle Drug now.

 

[U2vertigofly]

^^true but on a strat you have very little raise between the frets and strings, ona LP you have more distance

 

[discothequeLP]

^ you can adjust that

 

[waynetravis]

what else is really simple to play?

 

[discothequeLP]

^ desire is just a handful of chords

 

[U2vertigofly]

^^^how?
^^not u2 but Beethoven's Ode to Joy is probably as simple as it gets
^do you have a tab for angel of Harlem?

 

[onebloodonelife]

<is going to get ready...

 

[discothequeLP]

^^ on the bridge, right where the strings come out of those little boxes (i dont know exactly what they're called) there are 2 screws that go through each box -- you can turn those up and down to adjust the distance between the strings and fretboard.


^ for what

 

[U2vertigofly]

^ interesting
^^later

 

[waynetravis]

how am i supposed to place my fingers for Ultraviolet?

i can cover the 1 string, but i can't cover the 3 strings with my other finger

 

[U2vertigofly]

^let me see your tab i was just looking for one

 

[discothequeLP]

^^ ahh. . . those are barre chords. they're hard to learn at first. open chords are much easier to learn (aka. deisre!)

 

[U2vertigofly]

new thread

 

[waynetravis]

^^^ i'm usig the guitar pro software

^^ that looks hard

 

[U2vertigofly]
