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.

Adrian, you’re the best guitar tutor on YouTube. You cover such great songs.

[Kdschaak]

This song inspired me to pick up the guitar over 30 years ago. It was the first song I learned.

[AW-krfl]

Early Cure had some really unique guitar parts. Robert Smith is underrated as a guitarist. Simple but very distinctive and unusual

[Jimbowlcoach]

This song is so beautiful it makes me cry

[SuperEdge]

Yes yes 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 now The Cure. You are one of the best teachers on YouTube. More Cure please.

[tonywilson]

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

[DennisMollanOfficial]

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

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

[martynspooner]

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

[rayclanet]

"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!

[ryanboshell]

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

[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!

[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.

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

[daveaskew]

Flanger is such an incredible effect!!! Great vid

[SeanMC]

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

[davidsalisbury]

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

[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.

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!🙏🤝
