U2GT Commercial

Hello U2 Fans!

I launched U2 Guitar Tutorials on the World Wide Web on January 1, 2010 after starting U2GuitarTutorials on YouTube in November 2008. This website is a portal for fans dedicated to learning how to play U2 songs.

The idea behind U2 Guitar Tutorials started when I became frustrated with the lack of detailed video tutorials on the Web. I don't read music, but learn quickly from visual and audio ques. So I found other creative ways to learn the songs and decided that I would produce detailed tutorials of my favorite U2 songs.

U2 Guitar Tutorials is fast becoming a leading source for learning how to play the Edge's riffs and hooks, and get his amazing tones. I'm not an accomplished musician and I don't claim to get every note and tone correct, but I hope my tutorials will make it easier for anyone to play U2 songs on guitar. Please be patient with my progress, as I don't know all the songs yet. After I learn each song, I record a cover and then a series of detailed tutorials. This is just a hobby and my goal is to share my knowledge with guitarists of all ages and skill levels.

My first tutorials (e.g., Bad) were rudimentary, but you will notice that I've made significant improvements over time (e.g. ISHFWILF, Crazy, WOWY, UTEOTW, etc.). I'm use a high definition video camera, wide angle lens, Mac Pro computer, audio mixer and new editing software, all of which improve the quality of the tutorial experience.

In 2009 I was contacted by David Nia, a web developer and subscriber of U2GuitarTutorials on YouTube. David benefited from my tutorials and appreciated the time and resources I was dedicating to this hobby. He graciously offered to build this web site at no charge. A sincere thank you goes out to David for donating his time and expertise to this project.

Please join us on the U2_Guitar_Tutorials group on Yahoo (see "Other Resources"). Many of the members are more experienced than me and are more than willing to help. You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel by clicking the "Subscribe" button to the left. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please post your question on the Yahoo group or send me a private message on YouTube.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has offered to make a donation; however, I don't feel comfortable accepting money for my efforts. I have to spend a lot of time learning the songs for myself anyway. The wonderful feedback I've received is more rewarding than any monetary compensation.

Thank you for your support. Now back to making tutorials.

Best Regards,
Michael
