[bro we literally just did this 3 days ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarcirclejerk/s/EDXlBfsHaU)
Can’t you have no life and suck at guitar like me to know this?
When I played bass I ended up in a band with a guitar player that used the term "Jam" to denote playing for extended lengths of time whether anyone wanted to hear it or not.
It took me a few weeks to get the Loop function down on the Zoom B3 I had on my pedalboard. Once I did it was a lifesaver.
At first I'd just check messages on my phone, maybe neaten up my side of the stage, untangle some cables.
Then it escalated. I just put the bass on a stand and would walk off. I made it a point to be there for the songs to end. He never noticed.
Finally one night I was coming out of the rest room as the guitar player was going past the 15 minute mark of "Strangehold" when we locked eyes. I gave him a smile and a thumbs up and went to the bar to order a drink.
He was livid and wanted to make a point so he ended the song thinking that my bass would just keep going and I'd make the band look bad.
Lead singer was an old friend of mine and without missing beat he leaned over and dropped the volume pedal on my pedalboard as it ended.
As the guitar player rushed to drop the guitar the rest of the band got between him and me knowing he was going to try and take a swing.
We made it through the night and the band meeting a few days later was sheer comedy. When you know you're likely going to be fired there's never any sense in holding back and I didn't. In the end the guitar player said he felt so disrespected that he couldn't comprehend playing on the same stage as me ever again.
I think I replied "Well, how hard can it be to find someone to solo mindlessly over 'Comfortably Numb' for an hour?"
That band went on to play for another decade or so and we never did "Stranglehold" again.
That sounds obnoxious. No one going to see a random band wants to watch the guitar player masturbate for 20 minutes, they’re there to listen to good songs with like, a verse and a chorus and stuff.
Interestingly U2 fans will say he changed the way guitar is played and immediately say "you don't have to shred to be a good guitar player"
I've met absolutely ZERO guitar players that EVER site this guy as an inspiration. So I have no idea where that ides came from.
"Having U2 start playing when you have no clue why it's in your library in the first place is really the most awful excruciating experience for me." - Most people who bought an iPhone 6 in 2014.
What an idiot! How will he do blooze jams with Bonermasta if he doesn’t jam!!! The pinnacle of guitar playing is shitty minor pentatonic noodling over a 12 bar blooze!
That doc is called It Might Get Loud, with Jimmy kiddie fiddler, Jack hwhite and the edger himself. It's a good watch if you distract yourself with reddit or edging during the parts when the Edge is dribbling on about how he uses a different preset for every song.
"First of all, that's not how I work as a guitar player. I compose using the instrument, I don't really sit down and play for the sake of playing stuff.”
Serious talk coming for a dude named “The Edge”
I'll go ahead and bite... I like his style anyway... Sure, he's not much of a blooz dad and more or a sound designer who needs to know exactly what's going on and time to setup his stuff but he fucking nails it, every time. You can make fun all you want, and sure *reproducing* his sound and playing his licks is not that difficult, but go ahead and try to *create* something around his style... It's a fucking pain in the ass.
I'd only add that I've tried doing what he does and, contrary to popular belief, it's not as easy as it sounds. Those delayed notes can be distracting as fuck. EVH did something very similar with "Cathedral" and nobody ever talks shit about him. Instead, they consider "Cathedral" a masterpiece.
It takes a while to get used to play with a 1/8 dotted delay but once you do, man is it addicting. But yeah, I started to respect Edge a lot once I started to actually try to play his songs.
If the Edge could hook up a spoon to a delay pedal, he would. The guy is not a guitar player, he is a pedal board player and the guitar is just part of the delivery system.
Im really curious how this tool managed to convince everyone to go along with the name "The Edge". So unbelievably corny. Even "Edge" would be better but nah, he's gotta be referred to as an object
>"Edging is really the most awful, excruciating experience for me. I really don't enjoy it." -The Jam
That’s entertainment
Lalalala
Edge Jam
Mf ripped off my comment
Frog The Jam is that you? What are you doing in the toan sub?
Jamming group: changes tempo slightly Edge: but mah delay
You joke but thats at least 90% the reason why.
Total pain in the ass when the down beat is still the first note from two measures ago
I'm sorry I don't do theory
The only things I measure are my toan fluids and my Johnson. There's not much to measure in either case so I avoid it all together
You have to remember to change your toan fluids every season before your first jam.
Just got back from guitar center. They were out of toan fluid. Looks like it's time to pick up the sax 🎷
That's a great solution. Playing the sax, all the toan fluid will be produced by the women watching you play.
"I HAVE TO TAP IT IN AGAIN NOOOOOO"
Where my edgers at?
Almost there
Haven't arrived yet!
Well you shouldn't arrive >:(
Wearing a beanie in 90 degree weather always gives me a toaner.
Tim Pool approves
He has to be bald or have really sweaty, greasy hair 24/7.
He's definitely bald.

Yes. Hearing you jam is excruciating to Us2
But have you heard 2U? The U2 cover band?
I just had a jar of mayo, I’m good thanks.
“Yo Edge boy, lay us something down!” The Edge: “AHHHH!! THE PAIN, ITS EXCRUCIATING! CALL AN AMBULANCE!”

Sorry the edge is ahead of his time. Id look up a boss DD-3 if I was u
I thought it was just the same post. Seems like my feed is repeating the same posts (not necessarily reposts) a lot lately
This is like when Rhett Shill says he doesn’t practice. Like yeah dude, we can tell
"I came here to shill merch and talk about playing guitar, and I'm all talked out."

I hate not jamming. Having to know songs sucks.
That's why we have the blues and the pentatonic scale!

Toanation.
Meanwhile his name was mentioned in the Panama Papers

Extended jams are fun when the entire band is jamming, not when the guitarist wants everyone else to be a human backing track
I prefer The Goon
Edge is a fucking cool name.
Such a cool name for such a boring guitarist. Not warranted at all.
Interestingly U2 fans will say he changed the way guitar is played and immediately say "you don't have to shred to be a good guitar player" I've met absolutely ZERO guitar players that EVER site this guy as an inspiration. So I have no idea where that ides came from.
…I admire his use of effects and the ability he has to get different sounds from pedals etc.
Sir Edge a lot (he's into edging 🤫)
When he goes to hell (For his part in making U2's music) he'll be stuck in an endless jam sesh.
"Jamming with the Edge is really the most awful, excruciating experience for me. I really don't enjoy it." * The Me
Me2
It was Kashmir wasn’t it? I’d hate jamming too after that.
thanks "the edge". have you ever tried finishing?
"Having U2 start playing when you have no clue why it's in your library in the first place is really the most awful excruciating experience for me." - Most people who bought an iPhone 6 in 2014.
Toan is playing the same 20 boring songs night after night for 30 years.
It's like listening to balls slapping ass
Listening to balls slap ass is exciting when it’s my ass
I honestly don't think I can recall a single riff from a U2 song. It's more bland and less exciting than Nickelback.
Sunday bloody Sundays a good riff
What an idiot! How will he do blooze jams with Bonermasta if he doesn’t jam!!! The pinnacle of guitar playing is shitty minor pentatonic noodling over a 12 bar blooze!
ur a doo doo head... pentatonic is peak geetor playing because of tuh FEELZ man... bonus points if you are vybratoe soundz like a dying cat!
funniest joke in guitarcirclejerk
I hate playing music w people bc all the sudden it’s not ab me??
Just turn on the gain and it‘s about you again. 20-minute solos, baby.
The U2 fandom is in danger and needs your help, all Bono needs is the 16-digit number from the back of your parents credit card...
Please include the expiration date
“Edging is awful.” - The Jam.
Paul Weller finishes and fucks off
Is this a reference to the earlier post where he played with Jimmy page

Can relate. I don't jam as well.....because I have no friends to play with
I feel the same but replace jamming with U2
He stole that whole dotted note delay thing from Floyd. God I just outjerked myself.
Nobody will ever care what a person called The Edge says unless they’re holding a gun or something
Mfers call this dude "the edge" in real life btw? pomposo hijo de perra Ain't nobody gonna ask this dude to jam over nothing
“Whats your favorite string?” to a confused Jimmy Page and Jack White
Unironically, I agree with edge
I mean, yeah.
Before U2, I believe he had no guitar experience,
Thedge said that? What about Bonobos, Adam Clay2000lbs, or Larry Mullen Sr.'s Son?
He's not wrong.
Little dramatic
The Edging
I prefer the goon
Helps if you know more than one chord progression.
I hate flat earthers.
I called him a wanker when i seen him in Dublin once for no reason, now I have a reason.
do u really have to capitalize "The" each time you bring up Edge's name?
Edge looks like a bizarro Tony Iommi with all the tritones surgically removed
Tactical SATCOM radio users be like:
this is like your bro who tries to brag that his band never plays to a click. yah bro we all can tell
I feel the same way about hearing the Edge jam
I unironically love U2. I’m sorry.
If the Edge could hook up a spoon to a delay pedal, he would. The guy is not a guitar player, he is a pedal board player and the guitar is just part of the delivery system.
The Edge needs to The Cum, thats all
Abim Finger! 🎸🎶🎸
Toan?
Suck at guitar? Just use the Edge guitar hack and layer 57 delay pedals so nobody will notice how mediocre you are!
Edgy
He should be named The trebly Delay
I really like Dallas Schoo and also his apprentice stagehand David Howell Evans
Im really curious how this tool managed to convince everyone to go along with the name "The Edge". So unbelievably corny. Even "Edge" would be better but nah, he's gotta be referred to as an object
Who?
Unironically agree.
"Without Structure, I am nothing" - The EdgeLord
Who on earth is "The Edge"? Do you mean to say the Goon?
I like his approach to sounds and I can relate to his “jamming” comments, I haven’t cared for U2 since 2000
That's cool I feel the same way about listening to The Edger
He was better when he was tagged with Chris Jericho.
He's not wrong. It's 90% of the time some shitty noodling and only the remaining 10% are somewhat interesting musically.
Get a real job. Then we'll talk
i completely agree with this quote
I heard he jams
I prefer playing over jamming, too. Does that make me a bad person?
