I remember the first time i ever heard this song,i was at a biker festival and i was half pissed,about 10 years ago. I just heard that opening guitar sound and i ran to the tent where the band were playing it,i was just mesmerised by it,and the band were absolutely fantastic at it too,the tent was all lit up by a green light and it was really late at night,it was just a fantastic atmosphere,loved the song ever since.

[@AW-kr9fl]

Early Cure had some really unique guitar parts. Robert Smith is underrated as a guitarist. Simple but very distinctive and unusual

[@MattRichardsEsq]

Adrian, you’re the best guitar tutor on KZbin. You cover such great songs.

[@rageagainsthememe71]

Anyone else here after ceremony?

[@dermot51]

[@gnutube]

Superb teacher.

Spellbound

[@loaneslone7168]

I can't agree more.

[@Kdschaak]

This song inspired me to pick up the guitar over 30 years ago. It was the first song I learned.

[@konstantincvetanovic5357]

Same, except it was just 2 years ago

[@CreedM8]

What age are you now?

[@Luxarium]

Same, this was really the first Cure song i discovered on my own. I was instantly drawn in, crazy how tremendous the trilogy was in the early days.

[@9lettere668]

same.. in 82

[@Jimbowlcoach]

This song is so beautiful it makes me cry

[@SuperEdge67]

Yes yes yes.......this is what I’ve been waiting for! Adrian you have great taste in music. Loved your Siouxie and the Banshees, Smiths, PIL and Happy Monday’s riffs.....and now The Cure. You are one of the best teachers on KZbin. More Cure please.

[@oscarvillaescusa208]

True

[@agustinamansur5665]

Robert Smith thought of us the beginners at the guitar when he composed this song 😂💜😙🔥Thank you for doing such an understandable tutorial!

[@DennisMollanOfficial]

YES!!! Fantastic video... the Cure is so overlooked in the guitar community

[@markntexas8265]

[@plan9guitar600]

Yes - Jumping Someone Else's Train

[@rayclanet9927]

"It's flanger time!" Loved that intro! Thank you, Sir, for an amazing tutorial of this Postpunk classic. I salute your good taste and courage for choosing this and other songs I LOVE!!! Your work on The Cure, Siouxie and the Banshees, Wire, The Fall, Cramps, etc, is a class act. Suscribed!

[@ryanboshell6124]

Wonderful tone, wonderful lesson(s). Thanks mister.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Probably my favorite Cure song ever. It's so damn moody.

[@The_Macaroon]

Always great song choices with your lessons. Thanks!

[@danielemarturano3548]

This is one of the best guitar lessons I've ever seen

[@davidsalisbury9465]

Managed to download a great patch for this song to my Katana and was looking for a tutorial. This is fabulous - thank you so much you are an excellent teacher

[@dmanntube]

You're on a roll with the indie favourites. Brilliant!

[@DragonDevil100]

Good man keep the great work up, the only guy I can understand on KZbin when describing how songs are played

[@SeanMC5]

Awesome content! I like that you add a bit of theory in there too for us nerds. Thank you, Adrian, thank you.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I can still remember going into Doncaster Sth Yorks UK and buying the single after hearing it on John Peels radio show, I then saw the band at Sheffield Polytechnic shortly after, to be honest, they were crap but I did see them again years later at Sheffield city hall and they were amazing a really tight polished act.

[@whssy]

Your name rings a bell. You're not from Barnsley by any chance are you?

[@prasadbidaye]

This is just what I needed. There are so many covers and tutorials for this song, but this is the first one I've found that actually offers some explanation of the solo, the improvisation and the dissonance at the end - thank you!

[@robpearson-wright9163]

Would love a further delve in to the solo and ending dissonance. Part 2 needed!!!

[@daveaskew2105]

Flanger is such an incredible effect!!! Great vid

[@El...Presidente]

Absolutely amazing video. Probably the clearest guitar tutorial I’ve seen. Glad you showed up on my feed.

[@shug73shug99]

I'm going to savour this one! You might have unlocked a massive list of requests for other Cure songs (Killing an Arab, being one!)

[@Wantar]

Thank you. I knew some parts of the song, but you filled the missing partsnin a clear and educational way. Easy to learn and follow.

[@dionfitzgerald3613]

Absolutely fantastic lesson video!!! not to mention one of my favorite Cure songs. Thanks a lot!!! keep it up!!!

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

Massive Cure fan, absolutely love this song, great cover!

[@stxdxnt]

I have literally no idea how to play the guitar but only after 30 min I can play the melody of my favorite song because of you!🙏🤝

[@FlimFlame]

Thanks, realize I've been playing it a bit wrong, those accents make a massive difference, one of my favourites

[@nathanmarineau3993]

I really appreciate you putting this together and explaining the effects used! 🙏 👍 Great playing as well!

[@ryanklemmer5352]

Saw this performed live three times and this lesson is the perfect way to teach it as Robert noodles more on this song than others.

[@siddthekid5046]

Such a great song. Thanks for the lesson! Very concise and supremely in-depth!

[@mrmikev1]

Amazing selection and tone as always Adrian!

[@hadeseye2297]

I remember learning this by ear. And I got it right. No internet, no books or any other sources of knowledge. Just guitar and a casette tape. Primary is great. Especially The Concert version.

[@petelok9969]

Great. There's that tiny bass accompaniment bit before the song gets going at the end of the first change. Priceless video thanks 🙂

[@childhoodncstalgia]

Thank you for this. Really helped me tonight.

[@fernandoseda5661]

You really are the best tutor! Having so much fun! Thank you

[@rickyred001]

love this guy, such a good instructor

[@jeffreyhall76]

Thanks for these lessons man. I love your song selection

[@Naminorite]

This was Ace, I am going to buy a flanger this week just to get started *I've loved this tune since University days many decades ago and I'm hopeful your lesson (watched probably 100+ times) will help me learn to play it

[@youphoenix7]

Excellent Adrian...A great lesson on a fabulous song!

[@heidimillington2257]

love this lesson Adrian. Learning so much from your channel

[@michaelstephen5827]

Awesome - great job. Lot's of fun.

[@cerclesvicieux]

Really amazing song. Thank you. And I agree with the commet below. You're one of the few turors on this site that I acutally learn something from.

[@damiengarrett6545]

Wow! Great lesson, great song.

[@sagrado5]

Great Adrian! Many thanks, what a dark atmosphere that this song has, from a pure 80s post punk era

[@richodon]

Excellent clear & logical video.Well done!

[@aqualemon6453]

This is just amazing! Love the content.

[@atakd]

First Andy Gill then Robert Smith - you are the gift that keeps on giving.

[@darrenlee1938]

Best tutor on the net! Great songs and great lessons

[@bombakdik]

You are the greatest on KZbin. I would love to CCR’s Green river.

[@blueskyoverus]

Great tutorial which inspired me to buy a E-guitar again after many years which I have heard music but didn't play. You teach many songs on your channel which I like very much although I'm quite a bit older than you and live in another country but music unites generations doesn't matter where they live. Thanks.

[@fibonaccisrazor]

Awesome song and tuition, thank you!

[@christianhahn1299]

What new piece of sweetness is this! Great (unexpected) choice. Flange it!

[@carlyates6438]

What a lovely version, really like this

[@GeorgMierau]

Such a great song for a beginner to learn, since almost every modeling amp nowadays has some built-in effects! Thank you and get well soon!

[@nottoberacistbut20]

Thanks for covering these songs

[@lexaunculpt]

Just found your channel. Where have you been all my life? New order and cure songs and Andy Gill! Bless you

[@CAP21]

You play some of the coolest songs on youtube. Nice to have variety.

[@taramilton8695]

Thank you Adrian, great lesson, and you had a cold too, respect mate!

[@darrenaitcheson1675]

One of the first songs I ever worked out on guitar. Classic.. and beginner friendly.... Oh and every new guitarists fav pedal ;)

[@mtsn]

the final solo is really different every time, it's more like a jam. I really liked when they did these extended live versions

[@TheGazzadj]

One of my favourite guitar tracks - learnt this a while back but wasn't so good on the power chords, so going to watch you do it the right way ;-)

[@Hotdogger808]

Thankyou for clearing up the flange part in a forrest . Its been 25 years trying to work out how they did it. The riff i am talking off is the verse riff. Its what gives the song its intensity to me. A bassline not on a bass. I have seen them live but prefer them on vinyl. The verse riff phases in and out in the track a little adding further ambience to me. I must have heard it well over 5000 times and it never gets old.....like me. I was in my 20s when it was released. Thanks for a great video....props. The beginning of fascination st with Rob playing the intro has a similar ambience and depth.

[@erichechinger2347]

Wonderfull ! i love this song. You're a good teacher and you have a very good feeliing with your Jazzmaster. Thank you very much from France.

[@SimonM5]

This song is meditative, thankyou👍

[@igotyourmomful]

Is it me or do the simplest things to play always sound awesome

[@solesin3]

I really reallyreally enjoyed practicing this even though i play mostly bass, you are an excellent teacher thank youso much

[@benhanbury]

Loving the song choices on the channel, cheers mate! :)

[@andrewmorse4324]

Great tutorial. Really opened up a whole new world of dusty black coats, black nail varnish and patchouli. I'm off to swirl now. Watch my cider chaps.

[@mrjehupitchfork]

Flawless song from a flawless album

[@clairethompson8536]

Thanks adrian, a great lesson for a fantastic track.

[@Naminorite]

You are KILLING it!!!! (So wish I could play like that)

[@TheGarageJump]

Thanks Adrian. Really enjoyed this one and 'Play for today'. Re the BF-3 - I just bought one of those, before I saw this video (honest) and just before I saw 'Play for today' the other week. Both videos very well explained and easy to follow, cheers.

[@skutty5773]

[@eduardoquintans8188]

Love this song!

[@drewa1999]

Great lesson! Thank you!!

[@patrickphippspa584]

Who would have thought that exactly one year later, this comment 2:42 has people's eyebrows hitting the ceiling. Hope your well Adrian. You got me with this one buddy. You had me jamming right along with you on my air-guitar. You're a wizard! Order's in on the "Broadcaster." Thanks.
