Song: New Year's Day (Live)
Artist: U2
Album: U2 go Home - Live From Slane Castle, Ireland
Tabber: Andrew Marks
To be honest I cannot work out Edge's sound for this song.
I like to term the sound as 'Toxic'. I can say though that
Edge uses a hefty amount of reverb, and I think probably
a little delay effect too.
Tune your guitar down 1/2 step.

(Add some mutes maybe on some upstrokes,
works well in this fast tempo riff.)
