The Cure - A Forest - Bass Cover

[@marcozuleta133]

This song was the one that made me want to be a bass player. When i saw the video and how cool Simon looked aded to the hypnotizing bass I was hooked and needed to get me a bass and start a band!

[@badboy46528]

the same years ago together with peter hook david j of bauhaus

[@guiguih2998]

The same for me !

[@johansson66]

The Cure, The Smiths.. a tripe to my 20s and just goose bumps, ftw.

[@XX-zk2lf]

So simple and so epic. One of my favorite bass lines ever.

[@guiguih2998]

The best song of all the time for me, as a huge Cure fan. Please more Cure bass covers, please !

[@Mark-ln9hj]

I was first turned on to the Cure in the early 1980's in high school. I saw them just once in July of 1986 at Poplar Creek music theater in Hoffman Estates IL when I was 17. Thank you for the cover, it helped me figure out the bass line. There is a live 1980 performance video of this song somewhere on youtube, which was also useful in figuring out some of the subtle variations played live, not present in the recorded version--and it's certainly cool to see them that young, Robert Smith with no makeup and pretty normal looking short hair.

[@lordclancharlie1325]

most bass covers miss the part at the beginning and start from the drum intro, you nailed it and your sound is great

[@sgtvbdn]

WOW man, this brings back memories new wave, best times ever and great job again, tnx

[@PINI73]

Excelente!! Mi canción favorita de todos los tiempos!! Bajáso!! 💪

[@thepinkmannamedfloyd4144]

Nice job! When I was learning the bass part on my own to show it to my bands bass player I came up with the exact same part. Great Minds think alike!

[@sierra6936]

Nice 👏👏 strong key base note . We should remember all instruments that make up a song

[@infusion26]

This Lakland bass has have Bartollini pickups with a 3-band active preamp to let you dial in an incredible range of tones.

[@gustiguzman]

Such a wonderful performance man!! Your fingers did it perfect, haha!!! Congrats!!!

[@andyb1037]

This was only bass line I could play. TY Sunil for showing back in the 80's. Over to Gavin to do the 21 agains!! and breath.

[@Dustin_Curtis]

very very good. I MUST buy the bass!

[@haydenwittig8877]

SIMON GALLUP JUST CALLED ME AND SAID YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB. PERFECT HE SAID.

[@aaron1708]

Hayden Wittig hahahahahahaha

[@santamariadenigris5989]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[@icedbass]

Certains diront que c'est une ligne de basse facile, ok, mais pour bien la jouer, il faut un son bien lourd, surtout bien caler ses notes et un bon feeling, j'ai retrouvé tout cela dans ton interpretation :)

[@maplaylistamoi]

Je peux écouter ce morceau en boucle pour sa ligne de basse, tellement c'est bon... et là, bravo, je me régale !!! :)

[@markreyes7454]

What An Amazing Video! Great Job! Fantastic Work! This Is A Great Song , Too . This Song Reminds Me Of My Trip To San Francisco , Btw!

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

[@adkest9914]

Heerlijke basssss...lijn.

[@StarDida]

Fascination Street would be amazing! especially the extended version

[@AutisticWeasel]

Oh man, awsome sound... You got it

[@ZETAova]

Impresionante versión... Espectacular.. saludos desde Ushuaia Argentina 🇦🇷🫂

[@roccocarlino067]

Very good effort, the better Forest covers around, I don't agree with the negative comments.

[@jeanmarienoe]

thanks so so much i just saw them in november in london ..

[@danidiams]

I love it!

[@hippiedave1362]

Great work

[@michaelmulligan5484]

Simon has always used a pick from day one. That a big part of his tone Great job though !!!

[@roccocarlino067]

Watch the film clip.............

[@NoirVelours]

yeah live he use a pick

[@NickHarman]

Yes but you need to pretty nimble to play this with a pick. Which he is.

[@wormsjpink]

Great Job men

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

You're the only one I've seen who got the Little scale run in the intro. I always thought it was guitar but then I saw that it was actually Simon live.

[@LouDog27]

Awesome!!!! Thank You!

[@FiresignSongs]

great job

[@rogercageot-prod]

Very soft and clear interpretation, Nice! But I think there's a part missing at the end of the chorus (2:24), a short descent of 7 notes in 4 beats.

[@mariaribeiro3877]

the wonderful

[@quepasacalabasaa]

thank you so much! you rock gooble!

[@AscensionEarth2012]

Thank you!

[@chessdude67]

@infusion26 Thank you! I'm sick of over thinking this. I'm going to order the American Standard Jazz bass. Thanks for your time. Tim

[@fortreadconfecccoes7651]

The cure forever

[@RikKendell]

Fantastic tone, this sounds fantastic. Do you have any effects pedals set up there?

[@hola070699]

Genial!!!!

[@santamariadenigris5989]

SUPER BASS!!!

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

i saw them do it live, 1980

[@orangemancometh]

Fuck it, we'll do it live!

[@haileyschoenfelder570]

this is really good, but the intro to the bass line has a bit more at the beginning if you listen really closely. a few notes before you hit the first note in this. if that makes sense haha. But this is an amazing performance!

[@zx7gp]

You have such a wide taste in Music and this one proves it.If i scroll through your songs am i gonna find Bela Lagosi's dead by Bauhaus or maybe some Love and Rockets? Great stuff bud!

[@Ikillpeopleforfree]

You are only a few years older than me and I remember when the cure was a new band and they brought an edgy punk pop style bass line to the scene. I always liked how Robert was way ahead of his time and today he would fit in even more with the way the young kids look. Are you using a line 6 Pod x3 or something for a DI to record with? I can't believe you have over 300 videos. I watch a new one almost everyday! I don't have your ear to play by and need tabs like a cry baby or I won't ever play.

[@ricardoroberto100]

I use the bass booster app set to 35 with headphones.... wow.

[@infusion26]

Be careful with your eardrums :)

[@ricardoroberto100]

@@infusion26 ha ha yeah no worries.

[@infusion26]

@chessdude67 I like Fenders a lot and they are really good.

[@BIGeSTRING]

GVD wat heb je toch een lekker geluidje in je Lakland

[@chessdude67]

Excellent! Thumbs up! Question: Lakland does NOT make a lefty bass. Would the Fender American Standard Jazz bass be close in sound and playability? Do you like Fenders? Thanks for any advice. Rookie at work! :) peace! Tim

[@sixtogomezdominguez627]

Para mi la mejor canción para lucimiento del bajo

[@paparulo321]

¡¡que produccion!! te vas para arriba como pedo de buzo!!!

[@SeverinoSE]

May I ask which pickups you're using for this song, please? Bridge, neck or both? I like your sound! Oh and what about speaker size? 10" I'm guessing?

[@infusion26]

I know that band and they have a great bass player Les Claypool.

[@moskitt9324]

Now I know from where "KINO " Have such cool ideas )))))))))))

[@quepasacalabasaa]

Gaaaahhh! I've been trying to figure out the intro by watching you, but I can't. And I haven't been able to find accurate tabs... Wanna help me out?

[@infusion26]

What can i do for you ? I don't have tabs.

[@mr.paperbag713]

Fat tone . Love it

[@TRIVIUMrocker123]

Are you familiar with any Primus songs?

[@infusion26]

Sorry I don't have tabs.

[@mythomania_band]

bitch its 4 fucking notes don't be so cocky, and get a picc please

[@mickplays12wowzers73]

Die Angst are you ok?

[@idontunderstandthisworld6433]

Всё-таки те, кто недооценивают бас - очень неправы. Хотя, конечно! если просто дёргать четвёртую струну, водя пальцами по грифу, причём на фоне перегруженной гитары, чтоб баса и слышно небыло - конечно бас не будут оценивать по достоинтсву!

[@Feanor128]

where u get tabs?

[@TRIVIUMrocker123]

indeed :D

[@RickCostello]

Sounds good to me. Word up.

[@oaklandrogues3387]

That's not entirely true. Play For Today was a single as well... I think...

[@dylanbutcher2618]

It was only A forest. Despite a music video and it appearing on Standing on a Beach/Staring at the sea complication album, Play for Today was never a single.

[@infusion26]

Good luck :-)

[@KaiPonte]

Interesting, not using a pick.

[@mikeblock48]

Think Gallup uses a pick...

[@ronienrikey]

Mike Block if you watch the music video he doesn't use a pick

[@lisabaken]

Hiii can you give me your tabs?

[@quepasacalabasaa]

Okay, I'll keep trying. Thanks anyways, and keep up the good work!

[@pepireb2225]

Best part of bass. The end it doesn't show the playing

[@KortovElphame]

omg! can someone ever do a bass cover without the background music! uggh!

[@WeDwellinaFiefdom]

Mc Panik the waiting parts would be a bit boring though

[@alinetteetcarottecanteloup1344]

u

[@Alberto-bu7gt]

Please use a pick!

[@basehead617]

Use a pick

[@m-axblender2485]

it's not accurate at all, he makes changes that are not in the song and misses the line after each verse. Not bad but not good either !

[@morloxx]

Very good, but The Cure are not a rock band

[@gooble69]

I just tabbed the intro for you but youtube won't accept all the spaces and dashes in the comment field. It starts fifteen, seventeen on the d, then fourteen, sixteen, seventeen on the g. run up then run down again twice :)

[@pasha28dio]

Are you Geezer Butler?! (He plays Laklands...) :-)
