 Subject: Even better than the real thing ( live version ) by U2
          Transcripted by Marko Becker

 This tab is a live version of "Even better than the real thing" 
 that U2 played during their Zoo-Tv Tour. 
 I personally own a ZOOM " PLAYER " 2020 and the sound that I created 
 is very similar to Edge's sound. 
 I think the most important thing of the song is the delay-effect 
 (Zoom Player: 350ms, Feedback 2, Mix 7)  
 
 Comments or other suggestions are requested. 
 Now enjoy playing this song.

 **INTRO**
 
 D5 - x577xx  

 At the beginning of the song The Edge plays a D5 chord that he modifies with 
 his DigiTech "Whammy". So he can create this special sound. 
 If you haven't got a "Whammy" you can create a similar sound 
 with a small trick. 
 Play the Ab and the Db string together and repeat this 2 times, 
 then play the Gb string and the other 2 strings alternately.
 
 So, that's it, not very difficult.
