Style of The Edge Introduction
Chris Liepe is back with a new In the Style of series! This time he's taking a look at U2 guitarist "The Edge." In this lick based series, Chris discusses the use of delay, layering and arrangement that help create The Edge's signature sound.
Determining Delay
In this lesson of the Style of The Edge series, Chris discusses the types of delay that The Edge uses and how to setup those delays yourself. You'll need to setup several for the lessons to come.
Playing With A Dotted Eighth Delay
In lesson 3 of this series, Chris teaches the first lick of the song you'll be learning. This lick is focused on getting you playing with the delay. Specifically playing the pocket of a dotted eighth delay. This type of sound is highly characteristic of U2 and The Edge's playing.
Repeated Figures
Lesson four of this series is all about using repeated figures with the delay. In this lesson Chris demonstrates a lick that is repeated through the tune you're learning. Played with the delay, this helps create a layered effect that is common with many U2 songs.
The E-Bow
In this lesson of his Style of The Edge series, Chris Liepe discusses the use of an E-bow. This accessory helps guitarists like The Edge create pad like elements that thicken and round out the sound of a track.
Creating A Sixteenth Note Feel
Lesson 6 of this series is all about using straight eighth note patterns to create a sixteenth note feel with the delay.
Bass Line Doubling
In this lesson, Chris introduces the straight eighth note delay and the common practice of double the bass part of a track.
