Push - The Cure - guitar lesson / tutorial

[@jiriulbrich9542]

Steve, how to set up the amp.? Thanks

[@StevoGuitar]

Hi Jiri, I have my amp usually set with quite a clean tone, with maybe a little gain. My pedal had a delay of about 0.4 seconds. Some reverb and a little compression. I'm sorry i cant be more exact but it has made me realise that i need to make some notes when i do a vid so that i can answer very good questions like yours. Thanks for watching Stevo

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

Massively underrated song 👏🏻

[@StevoGuitar]

Too true!!!

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

@Ni K what you listening to it for then?

[@briancoyne6700]

I know. I only discovered it this year when I bought the album. Beautiful song.

[@Luxarium]

@@Seventeen_Seconds he means it’s not underrated for him, meaning it’s probably one of his fav songs by the cure

[@mortega7871]

they have been played it all ttime

[@neil742]

I can't thank you enough sir. Push is one of my fave songs by The Cure ever.

[@StevoGuitar]

Too true it is such a good song but i have loads of cure favourites, fascination st, boys don't cry forrest to name a few. Thanks for your comment much appreciated.

[@neil742]

I was wondering if I could ask you for a big favour please? Could you possibly do a video lesson of The Cure Shake Dog Shake please? Thank you.

[@plev10]

Oh man I have been looking SO LONG for someone to do a complete tutorial on this song. Thank you so much for breaking this down! I just saw these guys last week play for almost 3 hours and they were phenomenal and of course they played this one. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR THIS!

[@StevoGuitar]

Glad I could help!

Thanks christian and agreed, rarely played song.🤔

Great lesson! Love this album. One of my faves from The Cure

[@StevoGuitar]

Thank you. Was that ' head on the door'?

[@hrldoliente1]

@@StevoGuitar Yes, the album is ‘Head on the Door’

[@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_]

@@hrldoliente1 in my opinion,..the head on the door is one of their best records,.songs like A NIGHT LIKE THIS (my favorite song of this record),in between days,...six different ways,.screw,..sinking,..sooo fabulous,..all in all,..

[@LuisLondonG]

Thanks mate ! I just love the sound of Robert's guitar in this song. Now I learned it!

[@StevoGuitar]

No problem! Yes it has a lovely ring yet crunchy too.... I saw him cop the needle once and throw one of them across the stage. Bet the crew were in trouble that day!!!!

[@therealrusspick2669]

Brilliant song, nice tutorial. Always loved this song but never thought of playing it, no idea why. Going to have a look at few more of your vids. Cheers

First I was a bit sceptical because there are no tabs. But it is very well explained. Keep up the good work.

[@StevoGuitar]

Thanks, Glad it was helpful!

[@Gonzax]

Awesome tutorial, thanks a lot. I thought this song would be way more complicated to play, I'm gonna give it a try.

[@StevoGuitar]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.🙂

[@SepticShocker]

Thank you so much for this excellent video. It's an amazing job. The only thing I would suggest is describing the strumming pattern. Thanks again!

[@StevoGuitar]

Hi S,S. sometimes i dont get notifications of comments for some reason , so i must have missed this. Sooooo, strumming pattern. Its one of my bug bears really. I found when learning that i actually found it very confusing listening to others explaining strum patterns. Just Found it much better to keep playing it until the pattern came. True, some have to be explained but i try to teach the way i found it easiest to learn , if that makes sense. Thanks so much for the comment, very interesting to hear your opinion.👍

[@MarcoGarcia-nj3cf]

Great work.

[@StevoGuitar]

Many thanks👍

[@zrstopa]

Great tutorial, thank you! Any chance you could do an acoustic version? Seen some KZbin's where folks add in a few additional fills on the chords to make it sound full for a single player. Either way, thx man

[@StevoGuitar]

Not seen an acoustic version . I shall have to look that up.....

[@peterernst7797]

[@AndrewOntko]

Thanks for this. Brilliant! Was wondering where the backing track came from at the beginning. Did you make it or is it available somewhere?

[@StevoGuitar]

Thank. I made it myself . There was a website that you could download backing tracks for free but it was closed some time ago. I think it was bought out by the guitar tabs website.

[@StevoGuitar]

Cheers Scott. As has been mentioned in a couple of previous posts.... this was a song i missed for some reason. Love 'the cure' but just missed this one. Then they were on at glastonbury last year and it is top drawer. Well worth checking out imho

[@kebigginge]

I know you posted this 4 years ago, but are you muting at all in the intro or letting both strings ring fully? Thanks so much for all your work!!

[@StevoGuitar]

Hi richard, As you come across the fret board your muting the higher strings. So at first the b- string is open and rings out along with the fretted e-string. Then the g-string is open and rings out along with the fretted b-string. with the high e-string automatically muted by the finger you are using to play the b-string. But really the main thing is to hit the two strings together, with no others, and let them ring... Hope that helps.

[@petervad]

Wow, awesome, thank you!!

[@StevoGuitar]

You're very welcome!

[@Patrick-hf9ze]

Thank you. This song brings back so many memories of when I lived in Germany during my high school years. I'm definitely going to learn to play this song. What kind of reverb box are you using?

[@StevoGuitar]

Have fun! I use a digitech rp360 pedal and a boss katana amp. Its mostly the amp though.

[@seanlowe6092]

You’ve got some impeccable taste, like you, I’d forgotten about this one for some years, an electric intro , what a song. Brilliant typical Bob Smith use of droning notes. Do some more lessons, you’re very good at this!!

[@StevoGuitar]

Thank you kindly!

[@mauricioromero8827]

Excellent work!! more than amazing. What pedal or distortion did you use in this tutorial? Thank you in advance.

[@StevoGuitar]

Bit of reverb some delay and a bit of gain on the amp tp give it a bit of punch.. Cheers mauricio

Was a cure fan many years ago and then saw the live set at Glastonbury 2019 (on TV ;-( . . . awesome perfromance and was amazed that I had not heard this track ever. The Glastonbury set was amazing and Push had amazing drums and intro. Please go and find it and crank up the volume, brilliant.

I watched the same thing Andrew. i also, had never heard it til then.....and its just a great performance. Inspired me to do a tutorial on it

[@amorrelltsprojects]

@@StevoGuitar after seeing your tutorial i picked up my jazz bass and started to work out the riff. Been thinking about buying an electric guitar so might be off to the shop, er web site to get that sorted. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@williamharvey8219]

Hey Steve, As a guitar newbie I have a couple of questions if I may. What pick thickness are you using? it looks to be quite light in weight. And how did you manage to get that sound from the guitar? What settings, amp, that help produce the sound? And lastly :) where did you get the backing track from :) Many thanks! and love the videos!

[@StevoGuitar]

Hi William, Thanks for watching. I rarely use a pick. I use the edge of my index finger for just about everything. That said, if i do use a pick, it will be as light as possible. Downside is that they break regularly. Unfortunately i didnt make notes of settings but i think if you scroll down through the comments i think i have given out my settings as best as i could remember. Definitely some delay and some gain. sorry i cant be more specific but i think its a relatively easy sound to achieve unlike some others. As for the backing track. Sadly the website was bought out by one of those guitar tab sites and now you have to pay subscription to get the tracks. Backingtrack.com. is the site.I searched for the reason it had shut down and somebody had posted a link to a sort of back up copy of the site. Not all of the tracks work but miraculously 'Push' does. Heres the link and i have just tried it and it is working. All the best Steve. web.archive.org/web/20151119053504/www.guitarbackingtrack.com/play/cure,_the/push.htm

[@jorgegoriberg3732]

What efects use

[@StevoGuitar]

Hi jorge, I have digitech rp 360 multi pedal that replicates many different amps and pedals. It was set with a 'chunk' amp . A delay pedal of about 0.4 sec. Also had compression with the level and sustain at about the noon position.....the problem is that i also use an amp that models sounds and i dont remember what settings exactly were on it, though i generally use it with quite a clean tone with a little reverb. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful but it has made me decide to make some notes when i do a vid so that i can answer very good questions like this. Thanks stevo
