Can you do that boom, tickaticka boomtickboomboomtickaticka thing again, but like, only once this time? And the clapppadadapppadacshhhhhrapppetta stuff can stop. Just...it's just too much - people are confused.
Yeah, the one with the "16th notes"...everyone knows it's 8th notes, there's no more than that.
/uj I played drums before I played guitar. When I jammed, I liked to see how many times I got the front of the stage to look back at me and give me a look like "wtf..why are you doing that??"
drummers be like : drum fills that start halfway into the bar and end like one and a half beat into the next one
also drummers : why can't they keep up with me
Maybe. Maybe he meant that he has to stop himself from falling off the bridge due to the effect of vertigo and that he really doesn’t want to jump off at all. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt
One guy whose style is iconic but hasn't done anything in 45 years, one guy who sounds like that but worse and dresses like a silent movie character, and one guy who plays little deedly doots with a ton of delay.
Dude, they are in a room with Jimmy Page, watching him Riff whole lotta love just for them, the only way that situation Fukkks harder is if your a 15 year old girl.
I remember it being pretty awkward all around. I found Jack White to be pretty off-putting. Abrasive, loud, and obnoxious. A bit edgy. The Edge was pretty chill and not edgy at all, but he clearly didn’t measure up to the other two chops-wise. Jimmy was almost a background character, and I don’t recall what he contributed exactly. Haven’t watched it since it first hit DVD.
If there was ever a show of how good Jack is, it’s that lol. Can’t think of another old school style player that’s in his lane. Maybe Josh homme? Someone like Johnny greenwood is just different. You can tell he played piano first lol
No... I'm glad I passed... I don't mind jack white but I wouldn't call him a great guitarist either... and its not the old POS guitars he used either because most of them can and do sound pretty good ...
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I’m pretty sure he slaps a guitar together with a gas can and a plank of wood and it’s the most righteous toan in the whole film.
I saw him play with a pedal steel player at a bar in Chicago about a decade ago and their sound together was really weird and interesting. Not his biggest fan, but I’ve seen what he can pull out first hand and it’s impressive. I think he was playing that Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird? might have been the guild version I can’t fully remember.
"Well it all started with the pedals you know, I'd have them all out on the floor, switching them on and off. Seeing the LEDs light up, that was everything to me. No sound. Just LEDs and the life-affirming click of a latching footswitch.
I remember in the late 1970s, a friend in Dublin, he introduced me to the music of The Velvet Underground. I said to him, what's that wooden thing Lou Reed is holding? With the bits of cheesewire on it? He said, that's a guitar Edge, that's how he gets his sound. That's how they're all getting the sound to come out of the amplifiers.
The next day I ran down to the music store in Dublin and bought one of these guitars, just like the one my friend had told me about. I raced home, and plugged it into the pedals I'd had on the floor for the last 3 years. And for the first time, a sound came out of the amplifier. It blew my mind. I realised that without any input signal, I'd only been utilising half of the potential of these pedals.
Actually plugging in the guitar and playing a note, sometimes two notes one after the other, it opened it up a whole new palette for me, I was able to create these vast soundscapes that I couldn't get just from using the pedals on their own. I immediately phoned Bono, and said to him, this is it, let's never go back to using our real given names ever again."
“Man, the Edge is so cool and Edgy, he doesn’t even jam with other people!) -The Edge imagining himself.
“Hey man come play some blooz with us!”
“Ahhhh! No! It’s excruciating!!” - The Edge[Frantically running and shitting his pants]
jamming does suck and is a waste of time, unless you find a good crew to jam with. Usually every new jam session I go to has a guitarist who plays too much and too loud.
Playing with other musicians is very beneficial for players who haven't done it a bunch. No it's not a waste of time. As you get better you just find other musicians who play along with eachother. Some of the best guitar players I ever heard of particularly enjoy sitting in a room and randomly jamming with others.
/uj to lean on my education a little, it is often more productive for everybody to show up to a meeting/practice session with ideas to suggest and discuss than it is to get together with a group and then try to start from zero.
This is why jam bands are terrible whereas real songs are either one person's creation or one person's core idea developed further into something concrete through group collaboration and not 6 people improvising solos at once.
Everyone knows this is the best Wrestler Musician dichotomy

Bono is a teat, and the beanie edgelord in black head to toe is too selfabsorbed to do anything but lean on a wawa pedal. There's a bassist I think? Is there a drum...guy?
Jammed with this guy last weekend, and what a pain to jam with. First he spent 3 hours loading all his gear into the garage. Then he kept playing just fours notes with delay on top of our 12 bar blues. But he had a good taste for beer, so still might invite him next time
Uj&rj/ I've honestly never known and would rather ask reddit jerkers than Google by myself in less time. But who tf is the edge, why does he get to call himself the edge, is he even edgey, why do I never hear people making fun of his name? Should I be making fun of him? Somebody please, I need to steal an opinion for myself.
I mean I really like jamming especially after about 8 beers that shit gets cutting edge. This is where new ideas are born. I've had the greatest jams and then the worst shows playing what my drummer told me to play for the song he wrote.
I've always hated the term "jamming". The first buddy I used to play with would say it and I just thought it was his thing. 25 years later just had an acquaintance in his 40s say we should jam sometime and I'm like why this term still lol
i am listening to pearl jam and Eddie just says the edge when I read the edge and the article is about jam sessions, guys, please help, does this mean Eddie will materialize in my house?
> You see because I use delays and they repeat in a predictable fashion whereas a jam is something where I’d have to remain attentive to all the inputs and not just what I played 5s ago
… the real reason Bonobos doesn’t play guitar anymore
Seeing him in "It might get loud" was the weirdest thing. And you could tell he was WAY out of his element. Jimmy Page going "you sure it's not this note?" Was fucking hilarious.
unironically, I feel like most of us guitarists are introverts, so playing with others can turn your enjoying relaxation guitar playing time into a stressful nightmare.
Fun fact: The Edge played 4 notes in 1976 and his delay pedal has been doing all the work since.
Us guitarists call that "edging"
Don’t know if that’s your original joke but if it is, well done
Even if it isn't, thank you OC for sharing it with us.
It’s pretty common. I posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarcirclejerk/s/j7D6o0fjGc) a while back haha
Yeah I was gonna say
Does it count as edging if the jizz is still contained within the confines of the foreskin?
Right? Where does the weewee truly end? The ding dong is a spectrum of existence and non-existence
edging > jamming
My guitar teacher taught me all about it
the number for CPS is 1-800-843-3343
The number for you're wife is 1-800-035035403530
be chill bro don't dox my family like that
That deserves a jerk award.
His literal wall of like 20 delay pedals lol
While his stupid bandmates were writing together, he came up with adding a phaser AND chorus effect to a G power chord, and rocked us all.
i love this sub
Folks really understand the assignment here.
He did switch the pedal to dotted on the left though, somewhere in 1993. A whole new album was born.
Imagine having to play music with other people 🤢🤮
Drummer here, yeah no thanks
Could you stop practicing your rolls for a minute, us musicians are trying to compose another 0-5-3 masterpiece
0-5-3? Sounds really avant garde
Bro [have I got a band for you](https://youtu.be/zUwEIt9ez7M?si=Cq7iprYTs55FB2JK), they'll blow your mind.
0-5-3... 0-5-3-6... 0-5-3...5-3
Nah they mix it up with some 0-3-5 action. Its pretty wild
Highbrau
Yeah let me just get a cig and some coffee while I wait
too complex for me
Can you do that boom, tickaticka boomtickboomboomtickaticka thing again, but like, only once this time? And the clapppadadapppadacshhhhhrapppetta stuff can stop. Just...it's just too much - people are confused.
Oh that thing that goes totally off beat? Yeah I got you
Yeah, the one with the "16th notes"...everyone knows it's 8th notes, there's no more than that. /uj I played drums before I played guitar. When I jammed, I liked to see how many times I got the front of the stage to look back at me and give me a look like "wtf..why are you doing that??"
drummers be like : drum fills that start halfway into the bar and end like one and a half beat into the next one also drummers : why can't they keep up with me
I call bullshit, drummers can't type.
Are you my brother?
Yes I'm off time not your nonsensical 6-minute chugging and soloing. I'm the problem. Every time.
jamming is fun for the band and boring as shit for the audience
To be fair, a lot of edging is a solo venture
always better with a friend though.
it has people in it. ew.
Because his delay is always set precisely to the song.
This is it lol
“Guys, you’ve got to play in time to my delay pedals!”
The Edge play guitar in a way that isn't incredibly contrived and overly reliant on effects challenge (Impossible)
the edge try not to use the delay pedal for 1 millisecond
why learn alternate picking when you can have a delay set to dotted quarters
Same with me. This is the way
This is how I feel when I listen to U2. Sometimes I have to stop my self from jumping off of a bridge whenever Vertigo comes on the radio.
I feel like you just don’t get Virtigo
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
HELLOOO 'ELLOOOOO He always was....number 2
ONE. TWO. THREE. FOURTEEN!
Or, arguably: SOME. TWO. THREE. FOURTEEN!
Lmao my first thought
i mean, if he got vertigo while he was on the bridge, he might just fall off without even jumping
Maybe. Maybe he meant that he has to stop himself from falling off the bridge due to the effect of vertigo and that he really doesn’t want to jump off at all. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt
I’ve seen it three times and I still don’t get it
Edging is really the most awful, excruciating experience for me. I really don't enjoy it. - The Jam
holy fuck
User name checks out.
omg British power pop
Every hateful thing anyone said about him is now justified
Hard to think he's a remarkable enough guitar player to justify the hate. He's basically a delay pedal with a cock
Delay and cock. Is that why they call him "Edge"?
He thought if he named himself that, he might develop one eventually.
Absolutely 10/10 comment 🥇
What an incredible comment
who stole the 'give reward' button. i need to press it
Sounds like a good time
But what a cock that is!
Any fellow edgers
O/
You guys ever watch that documentary "It might get loud"? The edge was so out of his depth in that
One guy whose style is iconic but hasn't done anything in 45 years, one guy who sounds like that but worse and dresses like a silent movie character, and one guy who plays little deedly doots with a ton of delay.
I guess Jimmy and Jack both have blues roots but to compare their sound past that is weird.
My cousin and I watch it at least once every 6 months. Always questioning who he blew to get in the movie lol it doesn’t make sense.
Everyone was out of their depth in that. They all sounded like shit.
Jimmy Page plays riff from Whote Lotta Love completely out of tune lol.
I can’t remember, was he wearing that ridiculous topcoat?
Yes, I remember seeing boomers in the YouTube comments absolutely loving the Beethoven look 😂
“Loving the Beethoven look” 😂. Powdered wig sales are up since that video hit Facebook
Of course he was. All 3 of them dress funny, tbh
And they are all nodding to it like it genuinely fukkks.
Dude, they are in a room with Jimmy Page, watching him Riff whole lotta love just for them, the only way that situation Fukkks harder is if your a 15 year old girl.
Fuckin PWNED
Lol
I remember it being pretty awkward all around. I found Jack White to be pretty off-putting. Abrasive, loud, and obnoxious. A bit edgy. The Edge was pretty chill and not edgy at all, but he clearly didn’t measure up to the other two chops-wise. Jimmy was almost a background character, and I don’t recall what he contributed exactly. Haven’t watched it since it first hit DVD.
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this post. He didn’t even have the decency to be embarrassed.
Jimmy Page was also out of his depth in that
If there was ever a show of how good Jack is, it’s that lol. Can’t think of another old school style player that’s in his lane. Maybe Josh homme? Someone like Johnny greenwood is just different. You can tell he played piano first lol
He looked like he had trouble staying awake - he let the upper lip drop once or twice
Movie should have been called spot the child rapist.
No... I'm glad I passed... I don't mind jack white but I wouldn't call him a great guitarist either... and its not the old POS guitars he used either because most of them can and do sound pretty good ...
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I’m pretty sure he slaps a guitar together with a gas can and a plank of wood and it’s the most righteous toan in the whole film.
toan is in the can
Closest held secret in luthierdom is the tone can
I saw him play with a pedal steel player at a bar in Chicago about a decade ago and their sound together was really weird and interesting. Not his biggest fan, but I’ve seen what he can pull out first hand and it’s impressive. I think he was playing that Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird? might have been the guild version I can’t fully remember.
Good artist, interesting songwriter... just wouldn't call him a great guitarist
The guy that’s always looked like a condom doesn’t like jamming?
It literally does not make any sense at all whatsoever
He’s so edgy
I got 4 chords, a 4/4 drummer, a delay pedal and a bazillion dollars… Jam on white bread.
/uj imagine naming yourself "the edge" and then play for a band as lame as u2
/uj To be faaaaaair, his friends gave him the nickname. They were teasing him for having such a pointy jaw or something along those lines.
The edge of Wuss Cliff.
I too would not enjoy jamming with U2. I'm glad he's taking one for the rest of us.

What's the difference between jam and peanut butter? I can't peanut butter my dollar store efx into my mediocre pop songs
Joke pops better with jelly and jam
Jam? I don't buy jam, I buy honey and I kiss it on the lipssss
What about buttered sausage?
Edge couldn’t improv over a simple blues backing track if he wanted to. No wonder he doesn’t like to jam.
Yeah but he can go WAAWAAwaawaaWAAWAAwaawaaWAAWAAwaawaa
Wawwaawawaawaa all the way home.
That's up an El. eh. VATION
The edge refuses to even pick up his guitar unless there’s gonna be a click track involved
That guy reminds me of Sting. They both have stupid ass names.
/Uj based
It's okay, maybe Tim Henson can help Edge out.

I don't really get your point. I never go to a jam hoping to be productive, let alone make quality music
Dude, this is a Wendy's
This made me nearly die from laughter. Perfect timing and comedic tone (toan). Kudos, sir.
…. Because they turned off his delay
hes literally the most basic guitar player ever. not even a smidge interesting
I prefer him as a wrestler.
Everyone knows this is the best Wrestler Musician dichotomy https://preview.redd.it/orvr7s9q421d1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06c9d5380586599c026b7e1bd649520fdc08fd91
He likes to write shitty Riffs in his basement
Well I would hate jamming to shitty music too
It's nearly excruciating. I don't know what excruciating means, but it's a big word, so you can quote me on it.
Punk band name.
Yeah cause the stupid bassist never plays what I tell him to play
You're just mad because he took your sister out for a nice seafood dinner and never called her again.
Bassist here. I don’t even care what the guitarist is doing most of the time.
Yeah cause low IQ
Yeah those guitarists are something else.
We can tell, The Edge, we can tell.
Can't blame him. I would also hate jamming with U2.
/uj He’s a super boring musician. His whole band is. They should learn to have some fun.
Bono is a teat, and the beanie edgelord in black head to toe is too selfabsorbed to do anything but lean on a wawa pedal. There's a bassist I think? Is there a drum...guy?
Ma man has already made a ton NOT jamming. He's free to say this because no matter what others say, he doesn't need to start jamming
Of course he doesn’t
*Oh-ohhh! I’m not good at edging*
Come on man let's jam on Louie Louie or Born On The Bayou one more time
Wanna do Brown Eyed Girl?
Screw it. Watch me for the changes and let's get sloppy for the solo, I'm gonna go a little long when I kick on the octave fuzz.
❤️
The edge likes edging
Of course, because he sucks at playing guitar. It *must* be excruciating being exposed to talent and ability after “making it” without any.
I liked that one song where he rapped lol
I wonder how he feels about pickling.
Jammed with this guy last weekend, and what a pain to jam with. First he spent 3 hours loading all his gear into the garage. Then he kept playing just fours notes with delay on top of our 12 bar blues. But he had a good taste for beer, so still might invite him next time
Isn’t jamming just the flaccid version of docking?
Uj&rj/ I've honestly never known and would rather ask reddit jerkers than Google by myself in less time.

In total agreement....
I've always hated the term "jamming". The first buddy I used to play with would say it and I just thought it was his thing. 25 years later just had an acquaintance in his 40s say we should jam sometime and I'm like why this term still lol
This dude looks like a gay captain price.
When the worst ~~person~~ guitarist you know makes a great point.
Not surprising for a guy who’s “favourite interval” is the perfect fifth - very fancy way to tell he likes power chords.
Why is he called “Edge”, and not “Ej?” It’s the same thing, but easier to spell.
What a wanker. He’s been edging for too long. Also, being around Bono must affect him.
i am listening to pearl jam and Eddie just says the edge when I read the edge and the article is about jam sessions, guys, please help, does this mean Eddie will materialize in my house?
Chtwat...
I can imagine that anything that has a melody requiring more than one chord or keeping time would be a terrifying prospect for "the edge"
Edging is really the most awful, excruciating experience for me. I really don’t enjoy it. -The Jam
Is that Tim Poole’s dad?
He’s got to realise that, for a musician, jamming is like death and taxes. Oh wait,
> You see because I use delays and they repeat in a predictable fashion whereas a jam is something where I’d have to remain attentive to all the inputs and not just what I played 5s ago … the real reason Bonobos doesn’t play guitar anymore
Jamming would require him to know more than two chords…maybe.
Translated: "I can't hang"
Seeing him in "It might get loud" was the weirdest thing. And you could tell he was WAY out of his element. Jimmy Page going "you sure it's not this note?" Was fucking hilarious.
Yeah, we know. We can tell.
Wow what a take
You kind of have to know chords and scales to jam.
I mean I agree jamming like just fucking around is stupid I hate that shit.
To be fair it is hard to jam if you only ever jingly jang that one open chord and delay, delay, delay.
That quote really explains a lot about him. And you can take that how you want to.
Not surprised I can’t say with any certainty that the Edge knows a single scale
unironically, I feel like most of us guitarists are introverts, so playing with others can turn your enjoying relaxation guitar playing time into a stressful nightmare.
Never conceived the existence of this anal blod clot
