Edge guitar lessons through new fender app
The Edge has played a Fender since he was 17 or 18, and used his first professional-grade guitar to record U2’s debut album. He owns a few hundred now, most of which are in Dublin. His current favorite bears his name: It’s a re-creation of the guitar he’s played for decades.
The guitarist often looks up YouTube videos of himself at the beginning of a tour to remember how to play certain songs. In the app, he and the band will help would-be guitarists learn hits such as “Beautiful Day,” “Desire” and “Where the Streets Have No Name.”
“I’m not one who loves practicing the fundamentals the basics, the scales,” Evans said. “The quickest way to bone up on a tune is to see a video of someone playing it, or yourself playing it.”

* correction: the Edge does not teach any of his songs. The app features U2 song lessons

LOL, "Evans said". "Even his mother calls him The Edge". Noobs
I wonder if this is the thing Dallas talked about (when he probably shouldn't). It was something about a guitar app Edge was working on with someone

Yeah, most of the "Play U2" videos on YouTube are garbage both in technique and tone.

Fender realized most beginners stop after a few months playing . The few that continue often buy more (they claimed 5 to 10 guitars) and better guitar. Is it's good for (fender) sales when people keep om playing.. so they came up with this app.
