Song: MagnificentAlbum: No Line on the HorizonArtist: U2Composed by U2, lyrics by Bono and The EdgeTranscribed by: jchitty_16Notes:Here?s the song ?Magnificent? off the new album No Line onthe Horizon, this is the song where ?The Edge has made hiscomeback.? This song is truly another epic Edge guitar song,with his trademark delay. Have fun with this one!And this may the first tab out there of this song,if you?re going to steal it, at least give me credit,or link back to this tab.Now The Edge uses so many different guitar sounds in thissong, if you wanted to get technical I?d label like all 5guitar parts separately in the studio. But I?ll keep it downto like 2.HAVE FUN!Guitar 1 ? Lead Guitar, slight distortion with a 390~ms delayOn Verse fills, its about a 250~ms delayGuitar 2 ? Rhythm Guitar, slight distortion, pretty quiet most of the timeGuitar 3 ? Slide Guitar, the solo.INTROThe song starts out on what I think is a synth, eventhough it could be (and they?ll probably do it live)with a distorted bass from Adam.Synth/Bass/(do it on guitar if you have an octaver effect!)e|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|-/16~---\-4----------------------------------------------| A|-/16~---\-4----------------------------------------------| E|-/14~---\-2----------------------------------------------|ON the sixth time the above riff is played, the Edge comes in quietly with this:Guitar 2 ?

I?m really open to suggestions, corrections ifyou can find any, because as we all know, the Edge lovesto make things complicated and every U2 song is harder totab than you think.
