Elevation

In this lesson, we’ll figure out the solo of this U2 song by ear. It may sound fast because it’s tremolo picked, but don’t let that stress you out. It’s played entirely on one string and the notes don’t change quickly.

How it works: grab your guitar, figure out the notes you hear and fill them out in the tab below. Then, when you think you’ve got them right, click ‘check answers’ to see how you did! If you made any mistakes, you can give those notes another listen. If you get stuck, or want some help you can click ‘show next note’ for some guidance.
