I have heard many other guitarists say things like "You can't play that on guitar". But these classical Spanish guitar guys, especially this guy, just say "hold my beer" and blow it out of the water!
Some modern games still have good soundtracks. My girlfriend’s brother used to play a game called Destiny 2. It had a fully orchestrated soundtrack that was quite good.

I have been playing guitar for about 30 years and this stuff still blows me away. I love Van Halen and Slash but they got nothing on you guys like this. Keep it up man.
You somehow always manage to play every important part of the song simultaneously, it’s so impressive dude. One question though - would you consider linking the pdf of the tabs of your arrangements? I’d really like to be able to practice these myself
Thanks so much! I really try to get as close as possible. Sometimes to the detriment of my joints and tendons... I'm working on the TAB video now so that should be coming soon, like next week
@@TVonGuitar well let me tell you, some of your covers are the single best versions of those songs I’ve heard, so your work is definitely coming across. I don’t think anyone is going to beat your gerudo valley cover anytime soon
@@TVonGuitarSurely you are not doing all these arrangements in TAB are you?! I can't read TAB anymore LOL As impressed as people are, I still don't think they understand how much work it is to arrange something like this to be so close to the original and then work it up to speed. Thanks for doing the work and sharing your fantastic playing!
this is so amazing. Just going through every single video now lol. Blows me away how insanely well done all of them are. I'm just thinking now of like over 20 years ago, internet was very different and some website hosted audio files uploaded by people playing guitar. I was 15, learning guitar and some guy uploaded himself playing the underwater theme from Super Mario Bros.. I loved it so so much, even emailed him asking if he had tabs for it. It was all i ever wanted in life, to know how to play that song the way he did. He never responded though and I never put in the effort to learn it myself. Haven't played guitar in probably 15 years but this all makes me want to go get one again and teach myself the underwater song. inspired man. So cool
You sir should definitely have millions of views and a ton more followers… as a guitarist I can say you are just crazy great! And I know how hard this style actually is to play. Keep up the amazing work and excellent song selections!
You know they’re good when they constantly look to the right. Where’s Sam Griffin? Great cover! Always blows my mind that there’s a ‘bass line’ going on under the main melody. Incredible.
Beautiful performance. I've tried learning some classical stuff, but I'm just much more of an electric player. This is so good, I hope you're really proud of this accomplishment.
Not sure I've ever seen a solo fingerstyle rendition of this song and I've been hoping to find one for many years. Such a brilliant arrangement, thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us! 🤟🤟
And all of a sudden I feel like I'd love to see an arrangement of the song “Flower Garden” from Yoshi's Island on classical git fiddle. Masterfully done, as always.

@@controllerfreak3596 🤣😂😂💯🙌🍷

It's not a spanish guitar!
It's a nylon guitar!
It originated in New York!!!
@olliegueret4348 whatever!
Imagine you are a kid again daydreaming about video games and then randomly hear this playing in public somewhere
I have a large smile on my face watching the video and the same smile would be there if this was in public.
Well, I randomly hear this playing in my head. Same thing!
This deserves more views. This guy is so talented. You can see the dedication to his craft.
I didn't think it was possible to play both the bass and melody parts of such a fast ragtime song on guitar, this is insane!
Bass, harmony, and melody on top of it all. What a master of his craft.
Playing the guitar like a piano.
this is the most impressive guitar playing ive ever seen in my entire life
How old are you? Five?
@@jhna314 Yes
@@jhna314 you'd be surprised at how impressive it really is
@@AlexEEZ Im not surprised. There are 8.2 billion people in the world. There are countless people who can do something very well.
I appreciate how athletic your fingers were for this theme.
Underrated comment lmao
So does his wife
I see what you did there
This is SO good. Video game theme song being a compositional masterpiece used to be commonplace
Yes. Koji kondo should be a historical figure just like Beethoven or Bach...
Well some still are. I mean elder scrolls is pretty good too
ESPECIALLY if your last name was Follin.
@@marvinbyrd5967 An elder scrolls game hasn't come out in 13 years

Man he really crushed that part between 0:00-0:58. Bravo 👍🏽
I think you meant that part between 0:00 - 1:10
How do i even go about learning this? This arrangement is a masterpiece
Thanks! Check out my channel - I have a video with the TABs for this guy
@@TVonGuitardo you have the standard notation anywhere?
I think you've to learn Greensleeves first
@@TVonGuitargoing crazy, aching to learn this but can’t find the tabs on your channel…

This indeed is athletic level of guitar.
Beautiful arrangement!!!
Thanks!

You are talented! My 12 year old has been playing guitar for about 5 years now, and he will love this stuff! Thanks for putting out these videos!
Insane. I couldn't be more impressed.

@@TVonGuitar oh yeah the movements you do must be taxing after a while lol
It is. I’ve needed to learn how to pace myself so I don’t overdo it

Who on earth is this guy, ?? He is playing the melody and the base throughout. Wooow
My god. A ragtime piece performed on classical guitar is some serious feat of skill. Amazingly done!
absolutely insane right hand...just wow! one of the best if not THE best renditions of this on acoustic
This is the best I’ve seen so far. You have an amazing talent. Super clean.
Now you need to beat the game while playing the theme the entire time.
I can't believe I'm only just now finding this channel. Incredible stuff. Sam Griffin gave you a shout out and I am blown away
This is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. Raw talent
Two years later I come back to this video and it still brings me to tears it’s so beautiful. Thank you again Alan!
this is beyond incredible.
Such an under-rated theme and an amazing cover!
The walking bassline is hard enough by itself with all those crazy intervals and accidentals. But to play the rest of it at the same time is absurd.
Jeez man you got extra strings hiding behind the neck or something? Amazing job 👏
How do you not have more subs? This is awesome!
It’s amazing how you keep the bass so consistent even though you’re sliding all over the place
Forget the nostalgia, this just sounds f***ing incredible
This sounds like Mario taking a vacation on Cuba 😂 This is so insanely cool!! 🔥

Extremely impressive, that song wasn't made for gitar nor was the gitar made for it but you did it!
"Thank you, so nice!"
I have cramps in my eyes trying to watch your hand play this.
Dude, you're a freaking wizard. There's no other explaination. 😂
That double slide thing at the beginning sounds so cool
Only 35K subscribers is criminal. This is talent like I've never seen!
If you follow the bass notes, his rhythm is literally perfect.
Even if this man ever gets ED, his wife will stay satisfied
You can remove my brain and I'll still remember this tune for eternity. Beautifully done, man.
Damn he plays it flawlessly too
i cant stop hear this 😮😮😮❤
I have literally clapped at the screen for every piece I've seen you do so far! Thank you
Bravo!
You sir should definitely have millions of views and a ton more followers… as a guitarist I can say you are just crazy great! And I know how hard this style actually is to play. Keep up the amazing work and excellent song selections!
One of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen tbh, crazy how many talented people we are exposed to thanks to the internet
My day just took a step up on the awesomeness scale thanks to finding this vid. Great performance, what skill in reproducing such a great melody!
Thank you for recreating my favorite childhood melodies. Love this and your Gerudo Valley arrangement. Bravo!!
I was transported back to the 90's
That's just gnarly. And really impressive. 🔥🔥
Seriously incredible
He's mastered stuff that no one or very few would go near or attempt your the best ! and humble to top it off, bless uos bro.
You know they’re good when they constantly look to the right. Where’s Sam Griffin?
Great cover! Always blows my mind that there’s a ‘bass line’ going on under the main melody. Incredible.
This was delightful
Dude, you rule!
This guy needs a million subscribers ASAP. Unbelievable technique!
Now this is what TH-cam is for!!!! Bravo
I just came here to say how amazing this is. You guy rock so much.
Absolutely superb
I will always remember this song. Beautifully played good sir
Incredible! I'm on a fall drive up in the hills on a winding road
As a mario fan, you have my seal of approval.
Beautiful performance. I've tried learning some classical stuff, but I'm just much more of an electric player. This is so good, I hope you're really proud of this accomplishment.
Your skill and your passion are an incredible font of inspiration for me 💪💪💪
O.M.G!!! As a guitar player myself, this is one of the coolest things I ever saw! 😂
I would 100% buy a tab book of you arrangements
Bravo!!!👏🏼 Such a happy song!
Had a version of this played at my wedding
Congratulations to Your Gerudo Valley ❤❤❤❤❤ Adam sir love from India
Nailed it, I love it when guitar covers of mario music don't sound "corny" or lame
I think this guy is the best guitarist I've ever heard.
This insane
Not sure I've ever seen a solo fingerstyle rendition of this song and I've been hoping to find one for many years. Such a brilliant arrangement, thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us! 🤟🤟
Dude, you are awesome! Makes me want to play all the retro again! The best! 💪💪💪💪 coming from. A DJ, your tempo and BPM is spot on!
Your cousin sent me!!
That was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What an arrangement. Sounds like Jerry Reed ❤
sometimes i watch videos like this and i love it so much that i forget to "like"
Nintendo should definitely invite him to one of their conventions.
Absolutely amazing, on repeat for the past 15 mins..
Wow you play the background melody at the same time as the main one 😮
Well done bro! 🤘
Great job I almost started dancing
Unreal... hat off to you, this is perfect!
Incredible as always.
Brings back good memories
I really thought it was impossible until my eyes can't believe what they see!
Koji Kondo is an incredible writer!
I still love this game
Super Mario 2 main track is one of the best nes songs ever
Just incredible
And all of a sudden I feel like I'd love to see an arrangement of the song “Flower Garden” from Yoshi's Island on classical git fiddle. Masterfully done, as always.
Criminal view count, keep cooking my guy
- Koji Kondo composed this in a cave, with a box of scraps!
That was fucking wild
Yup, it’s the same on the piano, I know many Mario pieces but this one always makes my fingers hurt. And I’ve been playing since 2001 lol
How come the 90’s produced so classic, timeless content?
Also. Koji Kondo is the greatest composer of all time
Play this through my head at work
Koji Kondo the goat
Holy shit! That's frickin sick man!
Oh my face just melted off
Simply magnificent !
