The Cure - 5 Basslines For 5 Great Songs (With TABS)
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2020
- Hi! Welcome to a new video! This time I am trying to pay some homage to a band I never covered in my channel until today in the channel: The Cure. Lately I was randomly listening to some of their stuff and figured out it would be nice to put together the basslines of some of their most renowned tracks.
Not listed in any particular order, the tracks I chose were: "Lullaby" and "Lovesong" (from their "Disintegration" album from 1989); "Why Can´t I Be You" and "Just Like Heaven" (from their "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" 1987 album) and "Boys Don´t Cry" (originally released as a single)
Considering many of you have shown interest in having tabs included for the bass guitar cover videos, I also took the time to add them in the lower part of the screen.
As always, dont´forget to subscribe and click on the bell to get notifications if you dig these vids. Feel free to tell me your thoughts about this music/video in the comments section and leave a like/share, it all helps me to continue doing this.
Thanks a lot for watching and see you on the next video with more music!
#TheCure #Bass - Hudba
*2ND EDIT 29/08/2023: If you hear a blank silence in the section which should belong to "Just Like Heaven" that is sadly dude to the decision of BLOCKING this video by their copyright owners / record label, even if this particular video is not monetized, I didn´t earn a cent out of it and it´s painfully obvious that here is being used with musical educational purposes. But that is how things work, keeping that little segment silent is the easiest way to make this video still available and not be taken down by CZcams, so at least you have the rest of the basslines included in the video. Sorry for the inconvenience but there is not much I can do about it for now.*
1ST EDIT: Since a lot of guys asked for more tunes, being "Fascination Street" the most requested, I did a specific video playing that one: czcams.com/video/H-1tM4-ueck/video.html
More of these bass tabbed videos coming in the future! So subscribe to catch up with them. Thanks for watching and have fun playing!
Can u pls do " Baby Screams".? Thk U
Legends say if you play 3 Cure songs in the mirror on bass guitar Simon Gallup appears and gives you a BOSS Chorus pedal.
Lol, that´s a good one. I should try though, since I actually don´t own one today and it could come handy. Or at least it seems more useful than, let´s say summoning Robert just to get some of his make up products.
@@GabrielNardinMusic They're great for that late eighties early nineties tone, new wave, metal... it's super versatile!
@@scottysunday Yes, being serious now... I use the effect with soft simulation if I play with the PC or a multi effect processor if I am on my amp, just never had the chance to own one the classic BOSS analog ones.
Lol
I’m cackling at this 💀
The cure is the biggest reason why I've always wanted to become a bassist. I'm so excited to get mine shortly when I can afford it.
Congratulations on the decision to pick an instrument up then, I hope you have fun in your musical trip. Feel free to save some of my vids when you have it :) Greetings!
@@GabrielNardinMusic thank you! I will 😊
@@SheWhoWalksWithLucifer You are welcome!
OMG the lovesong bass is going straight into my heart
Right On!
You did a really good job pointing out that these songs are actually "made" by their brilliant basslines.
Thanks for watching! I made a couple more videos based off thes The Cure basslines. Greetings!
This guy's pretty cool. Looks like he's having fun, too
Thanks dude! Fun is what it´s all about when it comes to playing/making music and upload it here. Greetings!
This video makes me want to learn to play bass
Then my advice is go ahead with it! It´s fun and will probably get you more satisfaction than frustrations :) Thanks for watching!
I searched "cure Basslines". This is great!!
Thanks Fred! I am glad you found this entertaining / useful. If you like this type of videos, I invite you to subscribe to the channel, I have more of this bass tabbed videos here and will surely keep uploading. Greetings!
Simon Gallup is in my top 5 bass players..!!!! Always loved his playing
Then you have a good taste :)
honestly your face while you play is what makes this video for me
#LongLiveBassFaces ✊
The mojo is in the CTR monitor, nice one
It rounds up the bass tone :)
CRT ;)
This video introduced me to the cure, it's now one of my favorite bands
Thanks man
That is so nice to hear! I´m happy for your discovery then. Greetings!
Great music, great to see someone having fun playing along. Cure has great bass lines, but they blend in so wonderfully with every other instrument. Had Standing on a beach and the unavailable b. sides on cassette in my car forever back in the 80s
Nice! By the time I could afford to get a car, cassettes were already far gone to be played while driving. But, since I´m not THAT young, I do remember the stuff I also listened in that format when I was still a teen; and I´m not gonna lie, I have similar nostalgic feelings about them :) Thanks for watching!
@@GabrielNardinMusic I mention that cassette in particular because it was basically 2 very cool, trippy albums. Wet summer in Australia, leaky diy sunroof. Happy the man with the face that smiles. That could be you, you were having heaps of fun playing.
Simon Gallup is an amazing bassist
Damn right!
the face you make when you release chords or do something involving tension is great. I love silly musician faces, I stick my tongue out during drum fills. awesome stuff
Long live "music faces"!
your expressions while playing are everything !!! i can’t wait to learn some from this video, i love the cure :)
Thanks, glad you liked it. If like this videos I invite you to subscribe or check for more in my channel, I have a bunch more of these here. Greetings!
Look the room!
this man got stuck in 1998
Pd: greath video!!
At this point my monitor gets as much attention as my playing, lol. Thanks for watching!
Hey, that was great. Would sure love to see more. Simon Gallup's basslines always stand out in the Cure's songs. Such a great bass player. Thank you!
Exactly. Those basslines are very important for the overall sound of the band. If you want you can watch more of these tabbed bass videos already uploaded in my channel and maybe suscribe too, I will surely keep uploading more in the future. Greetings!
Since many people asked for more tunes in the comments (being Fascination Street the most requested), I actually recorded a video in response to all these comments. Feel free to check it out here: czcams.com/video/H-1tM4-ueck/video.html
Great, thanks for adding fascination street!

I am glad to be helpful then. You probably already read that in the comments but I added another video with "Fascination Street" after I uploaded this, in case you want to check that one out too. Greetings and good luck with the practice.
Always a pleasure to watch your playing man 🤘

Your computer is as old as my beloved the cure! Loving this video!
Not really, just the monitor for the vibes... The rest is regularly updated. In fact that same monitor was used in 3 different PCs already, but I got the idea. If you like these videos feel free to subscribe to catch up with more of this. Greetings!
@@GabrielNardinMusic subscribed already! Good stuff!
Amazing!! If you consider doing an episode 2, please do Disintegration (the titletrack) !! thanks for the video !!
Thanks a lot, I´m glad you liked it! Since I shatred this video I got recommendations for other basslines from the band and there actually some cool ones so that might be a good call! Greetings!
Last Dance is a fun bassline from that album too... Just saying
@@GabrielNardinMusic my recommendation: "Fascination street", one of the best bass riffs of all time in my opinion
@@fabrislemos Si, vos sabés que otro lugar que vieron este video me dijeron lo mismo. Se me pasó incluirlo, hubiera sido una buena elección para este video. Gracias por pasar!
Baptiste Blm Hi there! Took some time, but you asked, I delivered: czcams.com/video/JcfMglO-3Mc/video.html My cover of the Disintegration bassline.
Great video Gabriel :D
Thanks Matteo! Greetings!
very good and very thx
Thanks Mauro!
Waouh love the cure 😍😍 you play bass so good 😁😁
Thanks fella, glad you liked it!
@@GabrielNardinMusic oh .. i have a question for you ..
What's your favorite song of the Cure 🥰
@@fanmusik37 Probably Lovesong since it was the first one I remember listening from them, and it got me into hearing more of the band.
@@GabrielNardinMusic oh i love this song to 😍
.. did you love JOY DIVISION 🥰😍?
@@fanmusik37 Joy Division is one of those bands that I still have to listen more in depth. I actually can recognize a couple of their tunes and pretty much liked what I heard so far, but I´m not entirely familiar with their whole discography.
In "Lullaby" I'm like, mostly sure its a chromatic walk between B and C#. But super helpful thanks!
Thanks for the input and the comment, greetings!
Lovely
Thanks! Feel free to check the rest of my videos of this series or from The Cure if you are into this. Greetings!
Great 👏👏

waiting for part 2 !!!
Dale, algo vamos a tratar de hacer :)
Search in my list of videos, I made a few more!
when i buy a bass guitar i am soooooo playing these songs
Glad you liked the video! Though I would tend to think that the queen of england should have enough money to buy a bass. Tell henry viii to stop being such a cheap rat and buy you one :)
@@GabrielNardinMusic LMAO
My fave bass lines from the cure are Love Cats, Close to me, A Forest, Lovesong, and Fascination street
Thank you very much! Fascination Street and A Forest had their own cover videos on my channel after I made this compilation since I had maultiple requests for those 2, so feel free to check them out in my channel. In fact I was planning to do even more The Cure since I keep getting recommendations for other tunes, and Love Cats is one of those I want to record, so in case you are interested I invite you to subscribe for more of these videos. Greetings!
@@GabrielNardinMusic Are you going to use a fretless for Lovecats. Love the sound of a fretless. I think of tunes like Wherever I lay my hat by Paul Young or Japan bass lines. Sounds mysterious. Cheers
@@Alpha_7227 Thanks for the recommendations! Unfortunately I don´t own a fretless but I´ll try to make it sound correct anyway
@@Alpha_7227 Didn´t use a fretless but there it is: czcams.com/users/shortsM_M7WFpVFy8 :)

great bass face bro 🤘
Thanks!
The bass on Other Voices is epic.
I might consider it for possible Part 2 of this format, since many guys are recommending other tracks to cover. Thanks for watching!
The faith album era basslines are killer. If people can get past the darkness and sadness of the music, the baselines really, really pop. I especially like the old live performances.
@@krisius1 Yeah, I dig some of the old stuff as well. I just went for some of their most well known tunes but I do like that album.
@@GabrielNardinMusic did a good job
Holy hour is great off faith

Thanks Michel! I have more The Cure tabbed covers in my channel in case you are in for a further listen. Greetings!
Quick question - aren't the Cure's baselines more often picked? Does that actually make a noticeable difference to the sound? (I'm very new to Bass playing, but the couple of Cure songs I have learnt were taught to me as picked, not plucked)
Well, I would say there is no short answer like "Yes" or "No" to that question. To begin with, Simon Gallup does uses a pick mostly to play these tunes, but that doesn´t mean it´s technically wrong to use the fingers to play them. In terms of sound difference, the pick typically provides a brighter sound, more mid/highs presence and a stronger attack. But then again, there are other factors that might get you closer to the same sound such as using new strings, working around the EQ, effect pedals, having a strong plucking attack with the fingers, etc. The only cases I would say it´s absolutely mandatory using a pick (or fingers for that matters) are those where you need to apply techniques only possible with one of the two forms of playing. For example, if you need a permanent full chord power strumming (Think of Californian 90s Punk Rock style) you definitely need a pick because that sound is nearly impossible to get with a bare hand. Or on the other hand, if you need to do slap in funk, you need to get rid of the pick because the thumb has to be free to slap and doing that while holding a pick is impossible too. The stuff that falls in between is mostly manageable according the feeling of the song, the proper techinique of the player, the gear, etc.
I would play them with a pick. A lot of finger bassists like to show off and will refuse to play with a pick even if it sounds wrong.
Great, tons more, Primary, Other voices, A Forest, M, etc
Hi there! Thanks for checking out. I actually did more tabed bass covers after this video based on the suggestions I got from followers/spectators. For example, I have covered "A Forest" (one of the tunes you mentioned) here: czcams.com/video/zIFCXvyxmVw/video.html
Didn't know young Robin Williams plays bass that good
Lol, that is a new one :P
Merci

May I ask what Computersystem do I see on the Notflatscreen in the Background? It looks like a 80/90 setup with the phone :-) not to forget great bassplaying ….

@@GabrielNardinMusic Thanks for your reply. Your playing and the Cure Songs are rearly fine. The monitore fits the 80 vipe… gave my a bit of a positive backflash (a good one :-). Thanks for that… Have a great time

Amo y odio este tipo de vídeos. Los amo porque me recuerdan lo maravilloso que es Simon Gallup, los odio porque ahora quiero volver a tocar bajo y no puedo pagar uno con mi sueldo de estudiante ;(
Hola Juan! Seguramente buscando y buscando podrás encontrar algún usado a buen precio para sacarte las ganas de tocar. Te aseguro que es mejor tener la motivación antes que tener el instrumento pero luego no tener ganas o tiempo de tocar. Gracias por pasar, un gran saludo desde Argentina.
En marketplace de facebook encuentras buenas ofertas de bajos usados ;)
O busca uno en una casa de empeño, hasta en abonos
Monitor de tubo, audacity, telefono de linea.
Te quiero.
De una, si se tocan temas viejos hay que ser consistente con la estética vintage, jaja.
Homesick has a sick bassline
I think I never learned that one but I might give it a try, thanks for the recommendation as well.
what types of programs do you use to run your bass through your computer. my pc is good and i have the same interface
Just for recording purposes here I am using Audacity. It´s probably the simplest and oldest DAW that exists and works fine in almost any regular PC you can find in 2021. Nothing really fancy. I also have Guitar Rig, some analog pedals and a solid state amp if I need to add effects or some extra tone shaping, but most of the times I just record straight forward like this.
