Alright, let's try this again....

Here's me trying to play With or Without You. My video camera is a piece of crap, so the sound quality is pretty bad, and as far as what happened 1:47 into the song....even Edge makes mistakes sometimes!

Great effort Jeremy! Although you're a bastard for having an E-bow lol...and yes, your camera doesn't really do your guitar sound much, if any, justice, but it still sounds good enough to gauge the fact that this is a great effort!

And what happened at 1:47 is classic!

I'm assuming Ab, Eb and Db - the album version is in A, and considering they played everything half a step down (slight exaggeration ) on ZooTV, that's my guess. I haven't got my guitar to hand but it sounds like it's in Ab to me...

Doesn't sound right Harry...I'm not that good with chords, but from what I'm hearing in Milan 92, it's different...the Ab sounds fine, but the rest...it actually sounds like it's just two chords.

On the chorus bit, it should go Ab, Db, Eb, but I can't remember for sure...but during the verse it's just Ab, and then Eb at the end of each bar
