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.
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 TH-cam. More Cure please.
"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! 😊
"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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks a lot. Two years ago i bought a Squier VI + Mustang GT100. Now i have time and got a nice Flanger-preset and it sounds...hmmmmm. I'm listen to The Cure since 1981. More Vids, please. Greets from Germany/Frank
That was very satisfying to watch you play this. Flanger was the first effect pedal I ever had, an old mid 80's DOD one and stereo. I way overused it for sure. lol
Early Cure had some really unique guitar parts. Robert Smith is underrated as a guitarist. Simple but very distinctive and unusual
Adrian, you’re the best guitar tutor on TH-cam. You cover such great songs.
Anyone else here after ceremony?
@@rageagainsthememe71 Hes fucking brilliant is Adrian
Superb teacher.
Spellbound
I can't agree more.

This song inspired me to pick up the guitar over 30 years ago. It was the first song I learned.
Same, except it was just 2 years ago
What age are you now?
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.
same.. in 82
This song is so beautiful it makes me cry
Thanks!
It's not just your playing , it's your attention to detail with the gear that makes you the best on TH-cam, keep them coming master
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 TH-cam. More Cure please.
True

Amazing stuff.. More Cure please!
I second that more Cure please

Yes - Jumping Someone Else's Train
Could not even tell you how much I appreciate your stuff . Thanks for all your brilliant vids always presented with class and humour.
"It's flanger time!" Loved that intro!

Would love a further delve in to the solo and ending dissonance. Part 2 needed!!!
Wonderful tone, wonderful lesson(s). Thanks mister.
Flanger is such an incredible effect!!! Great vid
This is one of the best guitar lessons I've ever seen
YES!!! Fantastic video... the Cure is so overlooked in the guitar community
True true total guitar band 3 pc in the beginning
johnny marr 🔛🔝
Awesome content! I like that you add a bit of theory in there too for us nerds. Thank you, Adrian, thank you.
Good man keep the great work up, the only guy I can understand on TH-cam when describing how songs are played
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
You're on a roll with the indie favourites. Brilliant!
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.
Robert Smith thought of us the beginners at the guitar when he composed this song 😂💜😙🔥Thank you for doing such an understandable tutorial!
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.
Your name rings a bell. You're not from Barnsley by any chance are you?
First Andy Gill then Robert Smith - you are the gift that keeps on giving.
I really appreciate you putting this together and explaining the effects used! 🙏 👍 Great playing as well!
Just found your channel. Where have you been all my life? New order and cure songs and Andy Gill! Bless you
Absolutely amazing video. Probably the clearest guitar tutorial I’ve seen. Glad you showed up on my feed.
Always great song choices with your lessons. Thanks!
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.
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.

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.
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.
Absolutely fantastic lesson video!!! not to mention one of my favorite Cure songs. Thanks a lot!!!
keep it up!!!
You are the greatest on TH-cam.
I would love to CCR’s Green river.
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.
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!)
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.
Massive Cure fan, absolutely love this song, great cover!
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!🙏🤝
One of the first songs I ever worked out on guitar. Classic.. and beginner friendly....
Oh and every new guitarists fav pedal ;)
Wow! Great lesson, great song.
love this guy, such a good instructor
I really reallyreally enjoyed practicing this even though i play mostly bass, you are an excellent teacher thank youso much
Flawless song from a flawless album
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.
Thank you Adrian, great lesson, and you had a cold too, respect mate!
Probably my favorite Cure song ever. It's so damn moody.
You really are the best tutor! Having so much fun! Thank you
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.
Excellent Adrian...A great lesson on a fabulous song!
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 ;-)
love this lesson Adrian. Learning so much from your channel
Great. There's that tiny bass accompaniment bit before the song gets going at the end of the first change. Priceless video thanks 🙂
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.
Awesome - great job. Lot's of fun.
Thanks, realize I've been playing it a bit wrong, those accents make a massive difference, one of my favourites
What new piece of sweetness is this! Great (unexpected) choice. Flange it!
Excellent clear & logical video.Well done!
Very cool. Nice instructional of an awesome song.
Amazing selection and tone as always Adrian!
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!
Best tutor on the net! Great songs and great lessons
You are a fantastic and cool guitarist. Cheers from France
Thanks for covering these songs
Thanks adrian, a great lesson for a fantastic track.
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.
What a lovely version, really like this
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...
This song is meditative, thankyou👍
I wish you lived in my town so that I could take lessons from you. Brilliant tutorial!
Loving the song choices on the channel, cheers mate! :)
Another great video Adrian it’s like you’ve ransacked my record collection
Awesome song and tuition, thank you!
Love the way his head wobbles about like its on a stick hahah . Great song choices by the way .....Your de Maaaan ...
Very cool
My all time favourite Cure
Thx
Thank you for this. Really helped me tonight.
Jesus 1980 I bought the single. Another great choice Adrian.
Thanks for these lessons man. I love your song selection
Great Adrian! Many thanks, what a dark atmosphere that this song has, from a pure 80s post punk era
Thanks a lot. Two years ago i bought a Squier VI + Mustang GT100. Now i have time and got a nice Flanger-preset and it sounds...hmmmmm.
I'm listen to The Cure since 1981. More Vids, please. Greets from Germany/Frank
You play some of the coolest songs on youtube. Nice to have variety.
You're The best!! I love all your videos. Saludos desde Argentina.
when i want to learn a song in music to my taste...This is the place I go...thanks mate
Awesome video! Another vote for more songs by The Cure please :)
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.
brilliant I never thought I'd get a flanger pedal but now I want one
Do it - you won't regret it!
You are KILLING it!!!! (So wish I could play like that)
Adrian...you are a legend buddy and your taste in music is the same as mine (bloody awesome). Please never stop doing these 🤣👍
I’m loving the Jazzmaster
This is just amazing! Love the content.
The Low Spark of hi heeled Boys!! Yes,thnx Mr A love your choices.
Thank you. A very good breakdown for an intermediate player.
the final solo is really different every time, it's more like a jam. I really liked when they did these extended live versions
From the best Cure record. A fav of mine since the mid 80's.
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.
O and more Cure songs please.
Thanks I leaned it very quickly def really cool to play, thanks m8
Merci, merci, merci Adrian.......C'est génial, génialement expliqué. Wouah ouh..........(très content)
That was very satisfying to watch you play this. Flanger was the first effect pedal I ever had, an old mid 80's DOD one and stereo. I way overused it for sure. lol
stunning tone and playing man
