Add some Edge to your rhythm guitar with four unusual chords from U2 songs

The Edge and Bono of U2 spend the day on the streets of New York City shooting a video for their new album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" which drops tomorrow, Tuesday, November 23rd. U2 finished off the day in Brooklyn at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park where they played songs off of their new album for their fans. MTV captured the show for future broadcast.

When you think of U2, and The Edge specifically, you often think of huge soundscapes, a wall of guitars and enough delay to drown a stadium full of screaming fans…. But what happens when you turn the delay pedals off?

Underneath the delay-soaked guitar lines are a bunch of very interesting chord choices by the Edge. In his quest to fill as much sonic space as he can, he often employs interesting chord voicings to try and cover more ground.
