Actually was hoping you would either do Rygar or Shadowgate...both have amazingly memorable soundtracks :) I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest these though.
In the 1980s in Panama, my late Korean mother kicked ass at this game and finished it. She was kind of a legend with the other little kids on our block. "Wow, your mom can finish Castlevania?!!!" I never finished either Castlevania I or II -- even if I have seen it finished before -- perhaps because I want to keep it going or something. The music was excellent in these games. You guys have done this justice and I have played along with you dozens of times with great pleasure. Thank you.
Well I wouldn't have said it like that but I have to agree with Bradyabby on this one. Since Sam and I are older (I'm 28) we're mainly interested in covering the old school stuff. Anything from NES/Genesis - N64/PSX and maybe even some PS2 games someday. We already have a HUGE list of old school games that we want to cover and, believe me, it will be a long time before we finish all of them. So yeah, we are here to play the music that we heard back in the day when we were kids/teenagers. -Steve
christmas 1986 i was 6 years old. opening presents christmas morning i ripped open one from my grandma that was a NES cart for Castlevania. there was no box for it because, i found out later, she had to ask the local walmart to sell her the demo cart they had because they didnt have any more retail copies left. when i got it i went crazy because i knew that the big box next to it was a NES. i still have that cartridge and the NES upstairs. these songs bring it all back.
Thank you. We've been getting more Megaman requests than any other game I think. Let us get a couple more games out of the way first and then we will do Megaman. -Steve
We've been working on a new song for the past few months... Unfortunately I'm working all the time and Sam is at school all the time so its nearly impossible for us to find time to get together to work on it. We hope to be able to record the song soon after this school semester is over. Thanks for listening! -Steve
We did perform at Magfest in Washington DC back in January. That was a lot of fun! Other than that we haven't played anywhere else yet. I wonder if there are any gaming conventions closer to Detroit. -Steve
Bloody hell. Watched this fullscreen, and after it was over, a short silence filled my room, followed by a bellowed MOAR. One of my housemates came a-knockin'.
I always figured I enjoyed this music so much out of pure nostalgia. Then, I heard, "Voyager" at the end and wasn't at all familiar with the melody. I didn't recognize it because I never finished this game as a child but it was my absolute favorite! That just goes to show you that Castevania's music is truly timeless!
No tabs for this one yet. We made tabs for the Gerudo Valley video and now we are working on the rest. Its taking a while though so I can't say when it will be done. -Steve
yeah. Meanwhile a group of fully grown adult losers are playing video games and fighting to talk over each other and and that group has like 9 million of them. The world has gone to shit.
Sorry brother i think i understand you and it goes without saying that the masses will always like dumbed down uninspired simple rubbish and if that where the moneys at,then by god thats what we'll make . i mean look at call of duty, medal of honor and battlefield they are practically the same game .
Yeah, it comes down to advertising. Some of the worst products out there are expensive and sought after simply due to a large advertising budget. The more someone is told to like something, the more they feel they really do. Hopefully these guys get some more attention their way.
I've watched this video at least 6 or 7 times. I love it. And for those of you guys saying your English sucks, give yourselves credit. English is the only language I can speak, so you're doing pretty well. Keep it up!
After 40 seconds, I start to smile as I recognize the opening music for Castlevania 1. Pressing thumbs up is inevitable. However, 3:35 - 4:40 : You guys are totally AMAZING. You arranged the music so well beyond words. It gives me shivers, goosebumps. It reminds me the horror of stage 5-1. Subscribe is inevitable, you guys really deserve the title Super Guitar Bros.
The best video i've ever seen on youtube.... I just can't stop listening to you guys..... This medley is perfect... I play it at least 5 times at day.. Thumbs up
@SuperGuitarBros Just a heads up I have been working a lot more lately on tabs for my half of the songs. I try to do them when I have free time, they're nowhere near finished, I have a little bit of all of them done, but they're getting there. And Sam will be able to work on his more once school is finished after this semester is over. -Steve
I listen to this regularly. It's so great. Love vid game music and you guys are doing a tremendously good job. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to more medleys from you two! You are awesome!
I've got a Ramirez R4 ; ) (sam) Yeah the big difference is the strings. The nylon is easier to push down and the strings are further apart for fingerpicking. The acoustic steel is a little closer to the electric in sound and feeling though and lends itself to heavier playing. Sall preference!
My grandmother (RIp Nanny) would have absolutely adored this, thank you for triggering memories of her owning this game on old school NES. She was a beast! lol
@blaksephirot Well we have one camera and two microphones so we recorded the main shot while also recording the audio. Then we came back then next day and recoded the close up shots while listening to the song so that it would be in sync.
Hearing Heart of Fire reminds me of the last corridor before Death that always knocked my health down too low to beat the boss (before learning to cheese him with holy water). Many frustrated days as a kid where I just gave up.
Just great, the rhythm sense of the steel string slinger is impeccable! Nice job with the nylons strings also! Just how great piece of art are there original riffs and themes?!
Imagine that skeleton in the background is actually running right at you, and all you have is a whip to defend yourself. It's a dark and narrow hallway, with nowhere to run or hide. Simon is one brave SOB!
cool duet. Love the music from the original game. Here's my cover of the Vampire Killer theme on .... the banjo! oops :) Castlevania Cover / Vampire Killer / Banjo-Guy-Ollie
lepetittofu well it’s a duet so you’re better off finding a different tab. Unless somebody has already arranged the castlevania theme for one guitar, you’ll very likely only find a tab(s) for the simple melody. Depending on your level of guitar ability this may be satisfying enough for you, but I doubt it would be, because I imagine you’d have to be a real beginner to be content just learning and playing the melody on its own. Melody on its own just isn’t that great, I remember when I first started guitar I would play melodies to songs and themes that I spent hours learning and memorizing, and people would rarely recognize what I was even playing, because on its own, a melody is just a melody, there’s so much more to songs than just the melody. Which is why you need like a band or something or a friend or computer generated instrumentals, or, the song arranged for one guitar, which when I played guitar is what I used to do and enjoy the most, as well as creating my own arrangements. If no one has made a good arranged version on just one classical or acoustic guitar, then you could make your own. When making your own, then those lousy “just the melody tabs” come in real handy, because you could build off of that. Like you could add in your own bass notes that you could alternate (between the melody and the bass) or play simultaneously or throw in some occasional strums to keep it moving or some guitar percussion etc etc etc, the guitar becomes your canvas. I’d laugh if you already know all the stuff in explaining and I just wasted my time typing all that, but I figure it’s worth typing out because just in case you aren’t familiar with these things, they’re really important.
3:05 - 4:30 they are using samples from Bloody Tears. Remember, this is not only their version of these songs, but its a medley. They have ingeniously intertwined songs, as well as write it with their own sound. but if you listen, you can hear the parts of bloody tears that they use.
I'm not sure exactly what kind of guitar Sam is using. I do know it is a classical guitar (it has nylon strings). I'm using a Martin steel string guitar. Don't know whether nylon or steel would be better for folk guitar but I'm sure either would work fine. Have fun!! -Steve
I totally agree. But they would have to be two separate videos. There's no way we could fit so many amazing songs in one medley and play all the way through it hahahaha. That would be a 15 minute video!! -Steve
Me and my little brother used to turn the music off while playing this game at night because of the spooky music. Castlevania and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt were the first NES games I ever had. Thumbs UP guys!
Definitely! We've been talking about that one for a long time. It's going to take a long time for us to make a CC cover. Mainly just to decide which songs we are going to do and which ones we have to leave out. But yeah, that one is a definite! -Steve
If you're looking for Bloody Tears you should check out our new Castlevania II Simon's Quest medley: th-cam.com/video/Nj3dXVIBDKo/w-d-xo.html
Have you/can you (if not) done/do a Castlevania 64 medley? Please?!
134 people who didn't like this because they'll never never be able to play half as well as you guys.
Actually was hoping you would either do Rygar or Shadowgate...both have amazingly memorable soundtracks :) I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest these though.
So after all these years you have completed NES Castlevania games :) Well done, all medley sounds awesome!
@@nurse_thomas yeeees.
Fucking rygar!!! That music has always stuck in my head since childhood.
Good call
What an awesome night to have a medley,
*****
love you too brah.
Haha genius man
❤️
It was not by my hand I was once again given strings, I was called upon by musicians who wish to pay me tribute.
What is music? A miserable little pile of notes!
But enough music... Have at you!
...No! This cannot be! AAAAAAAAAH!!!
perhaps the same can be said of all listeners!
Tribute? You steal men's hearts and make them your fans!

I found this first ages ago, lost it and had been searching for it ever since, finally found it again
Sam freaking loves that game.
-Sam

Enough classical acoustic guitar playing. Have at you!

Game boy advance and ps2 games pls
Super Guitar Bros this is just awesome I come back to this frequently
You guys are so amazing, please do a cover of wicked child, I'm sure you would totally crush it, just like you do all the other covers.
I listen to this whenever I am struggling at work, and I'll be damned if this isn't like finding a pork chop in the wall.
Lucky you, all I found was a wooden steak, no potatoes.
In the first castlevania it was a werewolf chop👍🏻
I can't count how many times I have come back to this video and listened to this. So amazing and smooth.
i've seen this a thousand times now. it just gets better and better
Thank you. We've been getting more Megaman requests than any other game I think.
Let us get a couple more games out of the way first and then we will do Megaman.

Just discovered this video. Utterly amazing. Castlevania rocks!
LEGEND OF KAY MEDLEY! some of my favourite music ever.
This is juts awesome combination nylon and steel string!!
@@spacefiddle6361 thank you Daniel Asbun, very cool
accoustic guitar sounds so awsome when played right and this is it
3:04 Heart of fire was awesome!!!!!
def my favorite
Such an underrated song.
Yassssss
Nothing better than a good old bottle of holy water, candle-lit room and Castlevania trilogy themes.
Been listening to this for so long, and it still amazes me how good this arrangement is. It has became my lullaby over the years 😅
Same here xD
@@davgyyou1554 here too hehe
I feel like F-Zero and you two would be a match made in heaven.
You can't begin to understand the amount of times i listen to this. It's absolutley brilliant!
@LinkRss Link's right. It is Heart of Fire. The two sound a lot alike but we only did songs from the first CV game.
-Steve
I always figured I enjoyed this music so much out of pure nostalgia. Then, I heard, "Voyager" at the end and wasn't at all familiar with the melody.

No tabs for this one yet. We made tabs for the Gerudo Valley video and now we are working on the rest. Its taking a while though so I can't say when it will be done.
-Steve
Its been 8 years do you guys have them now? you know its been borring since the pandemic and all ...
If a big movie production of Castlvania is ever made for the U.S. this is what they should use for the soundtrack. This is great creativity. Good job.
It's just sad how those guys don't get the amount of subscribers They deserve
yeah. Meanwhile a group of fully grown adult losers are playing video games and fighting to talk over each other and and that group has like 9 million of them. The world has gone to shit.
Larry Hood what ?
Im referring to channels like Lts Play, Rooster Teeth, PewDiePie, Robbaz, etc.
Sorry brother i think i understand you and it goes without saying that the masses will always like dumbed down uninspired simple rubbish and if that where the moneys at,then by god thats what we'll make . i mean look at call of duty, medal of honor and battlefield they are practically the same game .

omg, how is it I'm just NOW finding this? EXCELLENCE!
I like how death is chilling to the songs behind you.
Am I the only one who wanted to break the candles?
Nah I wanna break them with a whip!
Thiago Valverde 😂 Killer comment
Thiago Valverde I agreed with your initiative xD.
Is this a heart,coin, health up, item reference 😂?
Worth five hearts!
One more thing... I've been on TH-cam for ages and you are the first people who I subscribed to. You inspire me!

You guys NEED to do bloody tears. I HAVE TO HEAR IT, I DEMANDETH IT.
+cd2220 There's an awesome group called The Altered Beasts that did an amazing rendition of Bloody Tears. Go check it out.
***** Will do, thanks for the recommendation.
I've been comin back to listen to this song for 2 years now. Love it
I listen to this regularly. It's so great. Love vid game music and you guys are doing a tremendously good job. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to more medleys from you two! You are awesome!

Not enough credit for these fantastic arrangements! Great musicality in this.

That will be very good a Mega man medley too ^^

I don't think I ever played that game but I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the request.
-Steve
I've barely played castlevania but this is good
Thank you. I'm glad to see that people noticed that detail.
-Steve
Just great, the rhythm sense of the steel string slinger is impeccable! Nice job with the nylons strings also! Just how great piece of art are there original riffs and themes?!
Man, vampire killer gives me CHILLS!
Phenomenal cover gentleman. I enjoyed a lot.
The fact that those are double candles in the background and not singles really makes it. =D
Good job!!
the castlevania music is amazing and u guys just raised the amazingness bar for the soundtrack
FamilyJules7X brought me here, and for a good reason! You guys kick ass!
Also, throwing Poison Mind in there was fantastic, nice work!
Nice rendition! Though I wish that you could have included Wicked Child. But still an epic piece!
Imagine that skeleton in the background is actually running right at you, and all you have is a whip to defend yourself. It's a dark and narrow hallway, with nowhere to run or hide. Simon is one brave SOB!
His ancestor had three companions and one of them was second strongest vampire ever. Simon goes alone.
cool duet. Love the music from the original game.
Here's my cover of the Vampire Killer theme on .... the banjo! oops :)
Castlevania Cover / Vampire Killer / Banjo-Guy-Ollie
Vampire Killer made me wee myself a little bit, that was so amazing!
Impressive.
But can they play Smoke On The Water?
The holy trinity of rock?
@DaniLeigh79 Thanks. I really like their song too. We sent this song to OCR back in November, hopefully they will vote Yes on it.
de ptm lokos son buenisimos
Indeed. They melded with the music and created a rondo of blood.
you guys are the best :)
The Grim Reaper Stage....sooooo kick ass!
Am I the only one that thought the Prologue and Vampire Killer connected so well?
those double candleabras in the back are a nice touch.
I'm here everyday for Heart of Fire at 4:12 :')
This is one of the coolest things I've seen you guys ever play.
Belmont clan for SMASH roster or even trophy
James Estepa you predicted it simons in the new smash game
wow just wow. you guys bring the perfect feeling with this song. i just feel like simon killing some monsters with my whip
No Wicked Child? I am disappoint.
this one is special. it has an own atmosphere. amazing
would pay for the tab

listening to this while playing Draculas Riddle is just too good to even be possible!
vampire killer > bloody tears
+Christian R.C finally
Komrade Kontroll ??? What
Sorry, finally someone I can agree with
Of course :D
Dracula's Castle (Sotn) > Ruined Castle Corridor > Vampire Killer > Opus 13 > Heart of Fire / Don't Wait Until Night > Bloody Tears
As someone who has heard and seen Castlevania being played I've never played it myself other than that thIs cover is awesome.
how DARE you don't include bloody tears
never mind, this is the soundtrack from the first game.
AussieBeef54099 I spent the whole video waiting for bloody tears... hahahahah
Hey, at least it has Vampire Killer =P
haha, yeah
I read this in Isaac's voice, from Curse of Darkness
3:05 - 4:30 they are using samples from Bloody Tears. Remember, this is not only their version of these songs, but its a medley. They have ingeniously intertwined songs, as well as write it with their own sound. but if you listen, you can hear the parts of bloody tears that they use.
Years later. I appreciate how you guys went ham on Heart of Fire. its my fave from this game, and there arent too many remixes of it.
Ah this brings up so much.. Just started playing CotM again, feels great. Love this.
how does this not have like a billion views.... this is fucking amazing!
Yep! my eyes water with joy everytime!
geeeze boyzz. 2:40 those dynamics! fantastico all!!
I'm not sure exactly what kind of guitar Sam is using. I do know it is a classical guitar (it has nylon strings). I'm using a Martin steel string guitar. Don't know whether nylon or steel would be better for folk guitar but I'm sure either would work fine. Have fun!!
-Steve
I totally agree. But they would have to be two separate videos. There's no way we could fit so many amazing songs in one medley and play all the way through it hahahaha. That would be a 15 minute video!!
-Steve
this blows my mind every time..
@sadriani We learned the songs by ear so there is no tab for it yet. But we will be making tabs as soon as life stops being so busy.
This brings back so many memories. Awesome.
Holy crap. Fantastic listen. Really got the nostalgic blood flowing.
Me and my little brother used to turn the music off while playing this game at night because of the spooky music. Castlevania and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt were the first NES games I ever had. Thumbs UP guys!
Definitely! We've been talking about that one for a long time. It's going to take a long time for us to make a CC cover. Mainly just to decide which songs we are going to do and which ones we have to leave out. But yeah, that one is a definite!

@SuperGuitarBros I cannot wait either!! ^_^ Merry Christmas btw!
0:00 - 0:48 prologue

whenever i listen to this i have to play it twice, once is just not enough.
