There will be two guitar parts in this great song from U2. The first will test your picking ability, and the second will test your ability in vibrato. Vibrato is when you rapidly shake the string, holding the same note while doing so.
One of only a few bands to achieve commercial and critical success across more than two full decades, U2 has charted success on its own terms on both the artistic and business side of the music industry.
Here you will be using basic chord formations involving Bm, D, and G6. This song is not hard to play, but is hard to get the timing down. That is what will take the most practice here.
This song is so popular there is even a commercial advertisement about it. U2's Edge will have you working on slides and common progressions, and then also with precise picking.
Here is a pretty neat riff that includes two guitar parts and a bass part. The riffs are fun to play and aren't too hard. This will help anyone that is a little afraid of the higher notes when playing.
