Did you notice the little slider. You can forward past it. I do these for free. If the intro is such a problem, then don't watch.

2:36 was amazing

Completely NAILED. Congrats, thanks for the awesome videos and lessons, always thankful.

Fantastic cover mate ! You really played it out smooth and with passion 👏

Great cover of a great song! Thank you for your efforts!

What an awesome performance. I'm in the process of learning from your tutorials and I just wanted to thank you for your detailed contribution and time. The best on the web!

I love this so much. Great job!

this cover is awesome

wow...amazing. Thanks so much for all you do...really appreciate it my friend!!

I hope you never get discouraged by the negative comments. You are providing a tremendous service, that I can only imagine takes days to put together for each training. Thank you so much!

AWESOME!!!! NAILED IT!!!!! Thank you very MUCH!!!

Incredible! Inspired me to start playing guitar after 30 yrs, hope to see new videos!

Everything was exact.....as usual great job!

Good job. I can see up close how to play it. Nice and clear. Thanks

Thanks so much for uploading this, your videos are inspiring. Best wishes from Brazil

What a fantastic tone and playing tecknique .I have learned so many u2 songs from watching you,after years of struggle with tabs,half assed instructors.etc..Thanks much.

That is a seriously great job!!

Thanks for this great cover!

wow - great playing - totally note perfect from where I stand. Many thanks

Love it! Great work. I will practice this song. Thanks, brian

Dear Michael, I can't even remember how often I've watched this video. It's that great I think. Like you, I'm a huge U2-fan and try to play the guitar for about 1.5 years now. Must say that your tutorials make it even more fun to practice. So thank you for that. Also saw your team up with the Dutch singer for 'Ordinary Love'. Very pretty performance. Greetings, Tom (from The Netherlands)

Just awesome!

beautiful, you uploaded a cover of my dad's favorite u2 song on HIS birthday. plus i don't really need the tutorial i just repeated this video over and over until i got everything down. thanks again man and keep 'em coming.

Thank you for showing how The Edge plays. It helps me a ton.

What a song !

Amazing cover!

awesome work.

Perfect man!

I totally agree with Tom S This is a flawless cover by Michael and with a Epiphone Explorer I have the same one in mint condition I always come back to watch this cover its so good . Alan from ITALY

Very good man. Great job!

@Shaun7189: Note this is Part 1. Go to my channel page. I set up each tutorial series in a playlist. I have many videos that teach every note of this song and explain the effects. I don't have a Boss DD7, so I can't help you there.

Well done excellent sound

Beautiful cover at beautiful day :)

@raoninery: I've always used the Axe, but tried the M13 at one point to see what it was like. Other questions have long answers. Please first search the discussion threads on the U2_Guitar_Tutorials Google group. If you can't find the answer, then post your question on the group message board.

Man ... I saw you're until the end of the world cover ... 0.o .. Amazing .. This one is also amazing you sir are awesome

@2020cody: Thx! Watch my other videos. I use the Axe-Fx Ultra and the new Axe II. Best pedal for U2 in general for a reasonable price is the Line 6 HD500.

Beautifully played.Amazing!

A modern classic!

Nossa, 10 anos atras... um salve do Brasil. Hello from Brazil👏👏 amazing

Congratulations!: great job!..... felicitaciones: excelente trabajo!.

Thank you so much!

Thx! Very kind of you.

My latest version of this cover on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/u2gt/u2-cover-beautiful-day-w-axe-fx-ii-xl-quantum-v106

Good Job ! Great

@ikinno Thanks. Both are great choices. I have 57s in my LP and Seth Lovers in this Epi Explorer. You can't go wrong with either. In the same class generally.

Vraiment impressionnant Bravo 👍🏼

Sorry, don't understand your question. Some parts are clean, but there is an added drive for the chorus, and various effects for the lead. See the series of tutorials for details.

class man

super comme d'habitude , joli guitare

Thank you very much

Gracias me re sirven tus videos!!

@leftyguitarfreek: I had to focus on the pup switching, so I used Logic to do the program and control changes. Logic is now my electronic Dallas Schoo.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind feedback.

Song is beautiful, you play very well, :D

Great Tutorial, and great music intro by Lifiba (Maudit)!

Micheal you are a star I can now play a guitar and not only playing U2 songs Streets entro only All i want is you still havent found what I am looking for and BAD My gear is line 6 M13 a Squire SQ 1983 Black maple neck white pickgaurd and bullet truss rod this guitar sings just like the Edges 1975 strat I am a 66 year old man who wanted to play the guitar when young Thanks to you Micheal I can now play the guitar you are the best on YOU Tube ALAN Tuscany ITALY

Micheal.!!!! I keep coming back to watch you again with Beautiful Day.This in my mind is the very best cover on KZfaq .I also Have this Epiphone Explorer made in indonesia.I got mine on ebay UK with a case it is in mint condition never played.Micheal can you do a cover of KITE on this explorer only a small request . Thank you Alan from ITALY

@dirtdavegirls: For the chorus, no drive pedal. I chose an amp model that was closest to Edge's tone. I used the CA3+ LD amp model with drive up at 6.5. Combined it with a 4x12 Recto1 cab model and you get some very nice distortion. The key to the Axe is not to always rely on the drive models. Each amp has it's own drive sound if you turn the drive up high enough.

@U2PEACE1: Sorry, missed this one. Logic is a DAW and audio recording/mixing software for the Mac. I create a midi channel track and program midi commands to control my rig. Logic is my "Dallas" and makes all program and control changes automatically in sync with the back track.

I'm still on the way ... still not there. I hope to get there someday. The tone ... I can't get the right tone... but I'm happy to see that it's possible. So I keep going on. And I am enjoying it. :)

Hey Michael, just want to tell you you're great! I've been trying to learn how to play the whole Rose Bowl show (I'm a begginer, i guess) and you've been really helpful! The only problem is I have to try to apply your patches to my G2.Nu1 xD, but still, your videos are great!!!!

Hello U2 guitar tutorials, I'm about to use your videos to learn to play this... I will post a video when I've got it!

@TheGavio93 : You might not notice it, but I'm lifting my middle finger on the B to make it a Bm. I'm playing a Bm chord. But also Edge does not often play the third on the G string in many songs. I think I read somewhere he doesn't like to play it. In fact, I'm strumming the E, A and D string only, so I'm lifting my middle finger just in case I hit the G string, but I usually don't hit it.

Very good¡¡¡¡¡ you are the best¡¡ :,D

I don't have a MIM, but they are not expensive and I've heard good things. The pickups are more important than what year the guitar was made. Sure, you can buy a '70s strat, but they're expensive. You are not going to be able to get Edge's exact guitar anyway. Join our forum for the effect questions. I use Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx II.

Bravo. I need an Ax Fx

Thank you. I would go with a Fender Stratocaster, MIM (made in Mexico). Not expense, but a versatile guitar. You can play a lot of U2 songs on a Strat (Streets, Pride, Bad, ISHFWILF, etc.).

damn man..you're amazing...i hope one day i can play this great..this song's too complicated right now..but i like the chorus riff :)

I've never owned one but heard it's great for U2. You need a modulated digital delay. Modulation is the key.

See Part A20 in the playlist.

Hallo Michel, what a good teacher you are for U2 songs. Great to meat you with U2 Guitar Tutorials. I use Line6 HD500 and DT25 Amp. How do you chance presets in a song like Beautiful Day. Only with the guitar ? I have to chance HD500 and guitar together.

The back track vocals may be from there, but I was aiming for the tone on Letterman (but didn't quite get it).

Are you a music teacher by profession, or just a really great hobbiest? You have it down to the note ate any rate! Great job!

Hi, I find it odd that people can comment on things, ie, intro too long, i agree, just dont watch it pal and waste someone elses time. But me, i think your great and you sound as much as the Edge, as the Edge, and in your own front room as to say, brilliant and I have found your "how to" as one of best on UTUBE, excellent.

Screw those 21 haters, that was awesome!

@tmcmorton: Agree. I cheated and Logic did all my preset and control changes. Logic is my Dallas Schoo. Allows me to focus on playing.

Excellent as always, Michael. One question about the Epi. All Epi explorers I've seen are "korina" and show wood grain. Yours doesn't seem to show any grain? Custom finish? Looks really nice.

What effects/sound did you use for the part in 2:36 - 2:42 ? That was weirdly amazing! ;)

Are you a music teacher by profession, or just a really great hobbiest? You have it down to the note at any rate! Great job! Also- do you have a string recomendation for most U2 music?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

eres el men

@U2GuitarTutorials i see. great video then!! :)

great video but please could someone tell me what's the disto that THE EDGE used in the original song ??? I'll appreciate someone reply me ..t-you =)

That's sweet...As always..!! I'd like to ask you..can an upgraded Epi Explorer do the job?? I'm looking for a Gibson but it seems hard to find... My main concern is the neck feeling...

@CapoOfficial: Great guitar, excellent neck! But replace the pups. I suggest Seth Lovers for U2 stuff. It can be used for other songs. Not quite as full sounding as an LP.

good job, what type of distortion were you using or better yet what pedal if you were to have it outside of the axe effects unit to use. when you have time keep making videos, there awesome

2:34 no puede ser mas genial esa parte :3

@InfestedV12 : Ralqh (Pat) has much more experience and is a huge U2 fan with many great covers. You will note that his version is multiple tracks with some mixing involved. Pat is very talented.

Micheal can you please do a full tutorial of U2 cover of !! KITE !! the Slane castle version its the only one you have not done I think !!!!!! Best Regards Alan

hey michael !! great job!! could you explain what this "logic " thing does in a video? thx

Өте керемет ойын .✌

Hi Micheal . Was your Korina Explorer made in China Korea or Indonesia Wouid you buy one in mint condition from China Thanks Alan Italy

Hey, you used to use the M13, now youre using the Axe FX... what do you think about the new POD HD500? It seems really cool.... and simulates the AC30 with microphonation.... deck tape etc.... and have all the effects of the M13? whats the best in your opinion? best regards

Hola amigo espectacular lo que haces......pero tengo una duda veo que cambias de efectos y no mueves los pies para aplastar algún pedal o botón de la pedalera....como es eso? explícame por favor ....EXCELENTE TRABAJO gracias por los tutoriales

hello from Amsterdam the Netherlands. Just want to thank you for your great efforts. One question: what are your Axe-Fx presets for "Beautiful Day" please? Cheers, Frederik

I really like axe fx... can you please tell me if you can use the axe fx for its amp models and it's effects at the same time! Congrats for your channel, you're doing amazing covers and tutorials!

Ce bien

Dankeschön Michael..!! Wish I can play like you...think i spend more time..or earn more talent..

man that is spot on..I am not too familiar with AxeFX. Are you using a footswitch to go from the clean to distortion?

It's just a $500 Epiphone Explorer with upgraded pups (Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers).
