Easiest u2 song to learn?

dazzlingamy · 12-21-2006, 01:08 AM

Ok, so dusting off my guitar and relearning everything again.

What would be a good song to learn from u2? I really want to play Staring At The Sun - but not sure how difficult it is.

Just starting to learn how to read guitar tabs again!

Thanks for any help - i admit i don't know what im doing at all.

do you wanna play just chords, or?

the chords to staring at the sun are about as easy as chords can get.

yeah just chords. I have no lofty ideas of rocking out like the Edge, just something nice to strum along too

the only staring at the sun guitar music i could find was confusing. I want a picture to show where my fingers go!

or at least tabs or something?

No pictures to show where your fingers go, but this is as easy as it gets otherwise.

thanks guys, i will try, and let you know how i do...or don't really do

u2 helped me pretty much
all songs are not very hard so with a little practice i learned them most and now it's easier to learn harder songs from other bands

running to stand still acoustic is pretty straight foward. just 3 chords i think

once you can play barre chords vertigo is very easy

Yep Desire is peasy.

craigp · 12-28-2006, 10:12 AM

only problem with desire is the fast chord switching

Angel of Harlem live version is very easy
