Ranked: Best Guitarists of All-Time

The Edge

By the time The Edge came on to the scene, guitar had developed in some of its most crucial ways. Nevertheless, The Edge taught himself to play the guitar, giving him a unique sound that is melody driven. His dedication to note-taking allowed him to create sounds that were simple yet spearheads the song’s direction.

“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” is a great example for this. The Edge, in many ways, is just as influential in U2 as Bono, giving Bono something to respond to.
