This song is supposed to be on the new album, the release date
is March 1997 I think, but you can here samples of this song on
the web. I just thought I would try and tab the samples out.
You can e-mail me and I’ll get the files to you, I have cleaned
up the audio on them….
All of the guitar is a grindy sort of distortion…
The intro starts out something like this:
E-3—0-0-0—3—0-0-0—5—0-0-0—3-|
A-5—5-5-5—5—5-5-5—7—5-5-5—5-|
D———————————|
G———————————|
B
E
The rest of the band comes in here, right after the intro thing…
Ok now after the intro Edge goes into this little thing….
play four times
E-3—0-X-0—5—0-X-0—3-0—0-3-0-h3—| X — mute these beats quickly
A-5—-X-7—7—7-X—-5-5—5-5——-| with your string hand
D————————————| h — hammer
G————————————|
B
E
And after that is played four times, the guitar cuts out and there’s
just this drum thing, and singing «Let’s go, let’s go, lets go,
discoteque»
When he comes to the discoteque part, that second riff starts in
again…
This seems to be the «chorus» part of the song also….
You’ll really have to listen to the clip over and over to get the idea
I’m trying to convey, I did, and I’m not saying that this is *exactly*
what
he’s playing, I think it sounds like it….

Howdy Folks.
Being this my first tabbing *attempt* please forgive any rudimentaries,
and so forth. I am also only an eight month guitar player, so my ears
probably need a little work as well. But this is my interpretation never
the less. Any comments are welcome, I appreciate it.

Song: Discotek (Discotech?) Heh.
Group: U2
Album: None thats been released yet.
U2 in fine style, I think this song rocks. Not too hard to play either.
If you happen to have some sort of distortional pedal, thats good, but
I just have a pokey little acoustic. My timing isn’t exactly
professional either. God knows there are worse tabs out there.
Just play it loud, and play it with the song. If you really
want to get into the spirit, look in your closet for some fine 70’s
clothing. You’ll get the hang of it. :>
* Intro
-Go nuts.
