all u hafta do is lightly lay ur finger across all the strings over a fret that dosent give really good nautral harmonics...it looks like he's at 6 or so...and just strum. downstrokes work better than ups for me. so yeah, thats pretty much it...play around enough an ull get it :)

Ik neem aan dat ik je vraag in het Nederlands mag beantwoorden als ik Daag zie staan?? Om dit geluid te bekomen moet je dempen met je linkerhand ( Als je rechtshandig speelt wel te verstaan). Je slaat dus gewoon de snaren aan maar tilt je vingers gewoon een beetje zodat er minder spanning op de snaren komt en er een beetje hetzelfde effect ontstaat als bij een "palm"demping(Zal je wel kennen denk ik).Dit alles moet wel redelijk vlot gebeuren om dit geluid te verkrijgen. Denk eraan, het is niet voor niks "U2". Greeetzzzz uit Belgium. Vanwaar jij? En als je geen nederlands spreekt: blablablablablahdfgqytaorjkdj!! X

using your fretting hand you mute the strings by touching the strings lightly but not pressing them down onto the fretboard, its best if you mute with a few fingers so that you don't get natural harmonics (chime noises)

I thought that you might like some 'real research'!:
...For being brave and asking questions (which tends not get a 'very clear answer' in these forums) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Edge

Add to that I'll dig up the special and very bl**dy expensive unique effects array that he has reputedlly used ...on the last batch of recordings. I came across it about a month a go ...but I can't 'for the life of me' ...remember it?

"In January of 2004, <snip>...

At the time, U2 was getting ready for their 2005 Vertigo tour, so Schoo needed to find a solution to carrying around the 11 DM4 stomp boxes that they used to create all of the tones from the record. Schoo was wondering if a rackmount version with program memory and MIDI could be built in the same format as the Filter Pro and Mod Pro studio modelers.

Angelo Mazzocco, senior DSP software engineer, senior product manager/stomp boxes Jeorge Tripps and senior software engineer Dave Calvery created the DM4 Pro Rack, which has a custom-designed analog path and full MIDI implementation with assignable controllers for every parameter for real-time, expressive control of the tone and drive knobs.

i would say lightly lay your finger over the 6th fret and do downstrokes also get some distortion and feed back

J'ai vu "It Might Get Loud" et dedans, il motrait sa méga pédale et je crois qu'il l'utilisait pour faire ça lors de l'enregistrement de l'album...
