Desire is too fast... and All I Want is You is not easy (and need a delay effect for first part and overdrive to solo and second part). Try One, Angel of Harlem live version, Yahweh live version...

I found One very easy (probably because Fmaj7 I found easier than a barre chord F), and it sounds great on acoustic

if you don't have delay,practice your right arm to play fast and discontinued.
Edge has one of the best right arms in the world.

-all i want is you is pretty easy song and you need delay only if you're a perfectionist.
-sunday bloody sunday is also easy, the most complicated thing is solo which is moving up and down the fret on one string
-mothers of the disappeared is easy,all you have to do is learn it.
-desire was said
-all along the watchtower is three chords
-angel of harlem four chords(am-f-g-c and simple strumming)
-the first time acoustic is also easy,few chords(i didn't learn it cause i don't like the song)
-dirty day is great on acoustic(D-A-C-G all the time)
-staring at the sun and gone are 5-6 chords with few bass transitions
-stuck in a moment is easy,but you have to learn barre chords
-kite also(there's a B and C#m which are not too difficult)

next advice:
learn riffs from each song. you don't need to know every u2 song from begining to the end.
examples:
bad-even without a delay is easy
the fly-the easiest riff ever
i will follow, gloria, 40, discotheque, beautiful day, walk on, in a little while, new york...
you won't become something great if you learn fly riff,but at least your fingers will stretch and it will be easier for later learning.



haugh

is not easy with the exactly tab, with many arpegios, a solo with distorsion... with chords is very easy, but One is really easy with chords too, but with the electric guitar is very difficult (specially the beggining).

P.D: I'm very bad with English XD

Dude still All I want is you very easy with tab ........ The solo is only 2 strings , and almost no finger movement , only the time of string hittin correct

But I thought this thread was bout easy songs = acoustic songs

And the truth!

All Because of You is quite easy too.
E - A - D for the chorusses and D - A, Bm - A, D-A for the verses.

Even the solo is easy, I can tab it for you if you if you want. It can be done by playing it on two strings ( stretched over the whole neck ) or over 4 strings ( in position). The one over the whole neck is the easiest IMO though.

Guitar: Vertigo is pretty easy I think.

Bass Guitar:
i'd say with or without you is REALLY easy to learn for bass guitar. D - A- B- G. pretty simple.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For is a little harder than With or Without You on Bass, but it is so fun to play!
