SOLO: A Very simple typical Edge type Solo. This one becomes very simple when you see the Edge play it on the Sau Paulo Popmart Bootleg Video. Note: I will only Tab the B string since it is all played on this string but where I mark XXX Strike the A + D strings open (with respect to the capo) and leave them to ring. The symbol / means gliss sharply and b means bend the string up to the note shown. h means hammer on
B--15--15--17--15--14--14h15--12--12--12 / 10 / 8 / 7 / 5 / 3--3h5-XXX-3-5--5b7--5--3-5
Repeat this again and then:
B--/8/6/7(Vibrato) (x2)
B--/7/8/7---5--3--3h5--XXX-- 3--5--5--XXX--3--5
B--/8/6/7(Vibrato)--/8/6/7(Vibrato)--7/10--10--
Again this is open to improvisation especially with the use of the A and D strings. Edge never plays it the same anyway so there is lots of room for manipulation, but remember the glisses must be fast and sharp to get the desired effect.
POST-SOLO:
After the solo, play the MAIN RIFF and the riff from Verse 2 again:

while playing the solo. The solo is simply a variation of the power Em chord.
