A Forest by The Cure | Guitar Lesson

[@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]

@@rageagainsthememe71 Hes fucking brilliant is Adrian

[@gnutube]

Superb teacher.

[@glendoggett9670]

Spellbound

[@loaneslone7168]

I can't agree more.

[@robbocop33r12]

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.

[@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

[@dotsunmoon]

Thanks!

[@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

[@tonywilson6909]

It's not just your playing , it's your attention to detail with the gear that makes you the best on KZbin, keep them coming master

[@martynspooner5822]

Could not even tell you how much I appreciate your stuff . Thanks for all your brilliant vids always presented with class and humour.

[@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!

[@steveholderness1450]

Amazing stuff.. More Cure please!

[@RayzaEFC]

I second that more Cure please

[@dan_s_higginson]

I third that!

[@rockthedeejee]

#metoo !

[@lachlancalder9610]

I fourth that. There just isnt enough of the cure on youtube

[@plan9guitar600]

Yes - Jumping Someone Else's Train

[@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!!!

[@antonakis79ohyes]

"It's flanger time, kids!" 😀 Just discovered this song, at 45 years of age, thanks to you Adrian, and the youtube algorithm (of course I am a Patreon member)! I will take my time enjoying this! All the best! 😊

[@PeterPettens]

This is amazing stuff. Great teaching of one of the best songs ever made ! And so easy to learn as a one month old beginner. Using a Fender Mustang to get the right effects and off we go... now needing a black wig, mascara & lipstick.

[@ryanboshell6124]

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

[@daveaskew2105]

Flanger is such an incredible effect!!! Great vid

[@ProTonePlugins]

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

[@danielemarturano3548]

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

[@SeanMC5]

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

[@agustinamansur5665]

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

[@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.

[@TushTheTerrible]

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

[@dmanntube]

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

[@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?

[@atakd]

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

[@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.

[@The_Macaroon]

Always great song choices with your lessons. Thanks!

[@El...Presidente]

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

[@nathanmarineau3993]

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

[@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

[@NeilD-nr9vk]

Hi David, Please could you point in the right direction to find the Katana patch? Cheers, Neil.

[@mrjehupitchfork]

Flawless song from a flawless album

[@lexaunculpt]

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

[@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.

[@damiengarrett6545]

Wow! Great lesson, great song.

[@darrenaitcheson1675]

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

[@rickyred001]

love this guy, such a good instructor

[@bombakdik]

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

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

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

[@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.

[@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!)

[@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.

[@dionfitzgerald3613]

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

[@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

[@michaelstephen5827]

Awesome - great job. Lot's of fun.

[@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.

[@SimonM5]

This song is meditative, thankyou👍

[@richodon]

Excellent clear & logical video.Well done!

[@Zbad123]

Thanks for covering these songs

[@childhoodncstalgia]

Thank you for this. Really helped me tonight.

[@taramilton8695]

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

[@youphoenix7]

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

[@fernandoseda5661]

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

[@Breakbeats92.5]

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

[@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.

[@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!🙏🤝

[@WS102]

Very cool. Nice instructional of an awesome song.

[@petelok9969]

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

[@FlimFlame]

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

[@darrenlee1938]

Best tutor on the net! Great songs and great lessons

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 ;-)

[@solesin3]

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

[@christianhahn1299]

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

[@KAchtchouk6660]

You are a fantastic and cool guitarist. Cheers from France

[@mikemike8142]

Very cool My all time favourite Cure Thx

[@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.

[@heidimillington2257]

love this lesson Adrian. Learning so much from your channel

[@mrmikev1]

Amazing selection and tone as always Adrian!

[@fibonaccisrazor]

Awesome song and tuition, thank you!

[@clairethompson8536]

Thanks adrian, a great lesson for a fantastic track.

[@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.

[@glendoggett9670]

I think they discovered the flange effect when overdubbing a guitar track from a tape and someone rubbed their thumb on one of the flanges of the spinning tape reel causing random delays and phase shifts when the original track and the overdubbed tape are mixed together.

[@skutty5773]

Love the way his head wobbles about like its on a stick hahah . Great song choices by the way .....Your de Maaaan ...

[@mikelumbreras4903]

Hy Adrian. Will you be able to do a little session en PUSH van CURE please. Have a great day and many thank for your class. Love it.

[@benhanbury]

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

[@Temple-andme]

I don’t usually comment. But gotta say you rocked it Adrian

[@leebrown3848]

Another great video Adrian it’s like you’ve ransacked my record collection

[@marklewis7484]

I’m loving the Jazzmaster

[@jeffreyhall76]

Thanks for these lessons man. I love your song selection

[@MrWhiskeytangofoxtro]

Thank you. A very good breakdown for an intermediate player.

[@jamesthorley4442]

Adrian...you are a legend buddy and your taste in music is the same as mine (bloody awesome). Please never stop doing these 🤣👍

[@muchgreatness7497]

This is great. At one point towards the end of the intro, during the third repeat of the opening riff, Robert seems to be practicing his scales...

[@nicennice]

Jesus 1980 I bought the single. Another great choice Adrian.

[@mheberling5939]

From the best Cure record. A fav of mine since the mid 80's.

[@mheberling5939]

I need to grab a flanger pedal. I am thinking of the mxr 117. Then will hit this video in the coming week or so.

[@mheberling5939]

O and more Cure songs please.

[@sagrado5]

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

[@Musicology1975]

Out of This world❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@matttheknife3652]

Awesome video! Another vote for more songs by The Cure please :)

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

excellent tutorial!

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

i had no idea about flange being, a Lennon thing... wow, also, i love your authenticity with this style and attention to detail, great channel.

[@Naminorite]

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

[@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
