The Cure - A Forest (bass cover by Harry)

Words and Music by Simon Gallup, Robert Smith, Matthieu Hartley, Lol Tolhurst

Backing track is synced to 80 bpm. I used a band stop filter to attenuate the original bass (from about 120Hz to 500 Hz; -4dB).

The tab animation is from a Guitar Pro 6 software.

You can support me on Patreon where I have all my tabs in PDF and GPX.

I hope you'll like my cover and It'll help you to play the song the way it was recorded. Keep making the low end sound awesome! :-)

I like the way you do your vids tutorials: the highlighting of the part that’s being played… nails it 👌🏼 good job 👍🏼. Keep ‘em coming 🙂

:) Epic guitar part :)
The bass is good because it modestly did not interfere.
Короче, басист молодец - не выябывался, когда гений играет. Забавная вещь, с клипом вкупе улыбает и радует. И что на лайвах старые кости играли спустя многие лета вызвало у меня решпект. Не тухляк сочинили ибо, не стыдно и сейчас играть.

The stationary bar highlighting the currently playing notes is by far the best tab presentation that I have yet come across. It 'sets the bar' if you will pardon the joke. 🙂

[temme]

nice, I'm gonna get my first instrument (bass) in 3 day and I'm in love with this instrument

[AleZayas]

Great song and great cover. Feels like you tab'd it in double time or something, no? Makes more sense to me that the song is double as fast and not the drums playing double time and bass in constantly in 16ths notes. But maybe there's a reason why you choose it and I would love to hear it!

Awesome video btw ;)

Jeez, I played this bass line at school for our band. This is a lot more complicated than I played it! I was happy with the 5's

[timberwolvesxx]
