Three Imaginary Boys - The Cure - How to play

Just a quick once through all the parts. I figured out the chord voicings from watching bits and pieces of live performances by the Cure themselves so I'm sure the chords are all correct. The solo on the other hand...take it or leave it. lol

@valyx94

Thank you! I think I could have done a better job if I played along to the actual music track but at the time when I made this video I had seen the youtube lawyer nazi's shutting down a lot of people who were doing that with Cure music. I think they have calmed down with that or maybe my disclaimers are working so I still do want to do a proper cover. Maybe if I can get out of my procrastination rut I will get it done someday soon. lol

(Also when you play the G, keep the G in the bass and play the C on the B string, but keep the bottom E sting open. I think that's how they do it.)

[boldstandard]

Instead of barring the chords, such as the B and the C, if you leave the bottom E string droning the whole time (the B string maybe too), you will get that spooky discordant feel from the original recording. That's my primary criticism. Good job going up to that higher voicing of the B chord though, a lot of people get that part wrong. I do a slightly different voicing up there when I play it, but that sounds close too.
