Or in space; imagine that! I always thought that this music should have also been used for an outer-space stage later in the game; I guess the designers didn't think of that, though...until later, and I don't think this song is in Super Mario Galaxy. (SHOULD BE, though, right?)
Played the game with my dad(grandfather) and this was the last song I ever played for him on guitar a few days before he passed. I come back here to hear the master play it. RIP Dee
I’m 5 years late but listening to this gave me chills and nostalgia flashbacks. Thank you brother you created a beautiful rendition of this piece of my childhood
@@laxstrat Your left hand frets a note, then your right hand index finger touches (but doesn't press down) directly above the fret that is 12 frets above the note the left hand is fretting. Another finger on your right hand (probably ring finger) picks the string. It's the same idea as playing a harmonic at the 12th fret, but if the left hand is holding a note on the third fret, for example, then the harmonic is now three frets up from the 12th fret, and you'll need to use your right hand to access it.
I'm late to the party, but just thought I'd leave a story here: My Grandfather with whom I was VERY close with got into video games around the time of Nintendo 64. Being a gamer myself this obviously got me very excited as we could share in that. Super Mario 64 was always his favorite game, countless hours and numerous playthroughs we would do together trying to 100% the game, they are my fondest memories. He unfortunately passed a few years ago, but when I listened to this cover for the first time, it took me right back, every memory came rushing back to me and I smiled for DAYS. I come back and listen to this often when I just need to remember life is good. sorry for the long comment but being a musician myself I always love to hear the way my music touches different people (if it does) keep playing your heart out! I can feel that you love to play and that feeling becomes infectious when people listen! Thank you so much for this
Its so beautiful. Brings me back to my childhood. I remember getting this game for Christmas. My first session was 5 hours straight, and my parents had to call me out because they were worried about me lol. But nothing in my life has beaten that moment of playing this game for the first time
I can't believe anyone would dislike this. Even if you don't enjoy the nostalgic feelings of this this is a beautiful melody that is beautifully played.
I will start learning this song through your Patreon tabs, so that when my little brother comes back from his worldtrip I can surprise him with a song that symbolizes our youth together
@Ezugo Obuekwe oh pardon my terminology. There isnt any singing and text so I can't call it a song. Quit whining and find something nice to do with your time 🙏
Oh my god. Such a masterful performance! Crystal clear sound and spot-on! You instantly transported me back to college when I was endlessly playing this with my friends when it first came out. And at 0:45, I started crying joyful nostalgic tears. Wow! Hard to believe it's been almost 25 years. I'm going to play this again and when I get to Dire Dire Docks, I will think about your cover. Outstanding!
The best music, the one Super Mario level that brings you back to that time like 1998-1999, I remember my late grandmother bringing me snacks as an 8-9 yo playing this I miss both her and these times. Thank you Nintendo for helping me create those memories with your wonderful content.
This was just beautiful. Perfectly done. So much nostalgia. Doesn’t just remind me of the game; it reminds me of that time period in my life. Thank you.
I love how you’re almost crying when you say “whatever happened to super Mario 63?” Like there’s a slight tremble in your voice, just adds so much beauty and depth to the meme. It’s as if you put vibrato on your voice, truly an amazing performance and delivery. A true genius would only know how to have such cadence for a punchline. Not only that, but to ask specifically for super Mario 63 rather than super Mario 65, my good sir did an apple fall on your head? Just jaw dropping. Oh yea, and the song is fantastic as well.
It's crazy how much beautiful music there is to be found in video games, and how the music being played outside of when the game it's from is being played is this niche interest, when really the best video game music is as solid and iconic as any mainstream music.
1:48 is officially a contender for one of the most beautiful fucking chords i’ve ever heard in my life. was like a mini orchestra behind him in those bass resonance notes. shits magic man, i’m bein corny but like bravo lmao.
This is an outstanding piece of melancholic and melodious music when played on guitar. It stands alone beautifully even when detached entirely from the game. Brilliant.
Marty Moberly Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 both have a handful of other beautiful tracks like this. “Space Junk Galaxy” comes to mind; I highly recommend looking that one up if you haven’t heard it before.
Mario 64 one of the most underrated soundtracks of all-time. For the amount of praise this game has gotten over the years, the music is never talked about enough. Brilliant rendition of the best song on the OST, imo.
I love this song! Every time my brother played the game and would go to that "water world" I enjoyed sitting beside him and listen only to the music 😊 a lovely piece! 👌👍👏
Such great playing! The quality of the playing and feel take your videos up to the best of what you can even find on TH-cam for covers. Also this song feels very Legend of Zelda-esque.
this music in particular always helped me when is difficult to sleep, so i start to sing mentally this beautiful melody, it`s so peaceful, gentle, like i am diving deeper in waters to a safer, comfortable place. Koji Kondo made unforgettable compositions to universe of games.
Sam I simply love your work. Your arrangements capture the song in a professional fashion. Thanks for this everyone I've shared this with has been really happy to hear it. I can't wait to hear more!
Your tone is so good, so much discipline in your playing. Your use of harmonics is really great. The way they're just peppered in, instead of being used in a show off kind of way is really refreshing. Great pickin my friend!
dire dire docks is probably the most beautiful pop culture song of my child hood nintendo and thje composer behind this was amazing... also your playing was amazing.
I actually just wanted to comment so that the total number of comments would roll over to 667, but then I decided that I should probably also tell you that you made me smile. Thanks!
this could be filing-in music before a wedding ceremony. the real ones would know what it really is, and the old folks would just find it beautiful. damn this is good. huge nostalgia bomb right here
Thanks for picking this song dude! Kind of expected the video to be shot underwater but that's cool.
Lmao, you win the internet for today
That is a task for Davie504.
If he did that, he’d have to add the strings
Lmao

You, sir ... have allowed me to reconnect to a feeling I've not felt in 20 years. What a magical performance!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Man.. same. Tears in my eyes. :')
Same although I never got to beat the game 😢
Ah man you gotta go back and beat it that game is Amazing
naota3k I’m 42. When I expected to be an adult. I have two kids that I raise alone and I’m still moved beyond words when I hear this music.
For real! I just nostalgia'd so hard I almost threw up!
Played the game with my dad(grandfather) and this was the last song I ever played for him on guitar a few days before he passed. I come back here to hear the master play it. RIP Dee
Your dad was also your grandfather?
Omg I cry every time I hear this song idk why I guess it reminds me of how awesome childhood was
Same
maybe you need therapy
Jaahh Rastafari “THERAPY TIME!”
weak ass crying bitch
nvm i cried too
1:30 I love how that suspended 4th resolves up, not down. Great writing, great playing
My man's rlly out here with that music theory :)
Makes it sound all epic.
true, It's so uncommon to hear it resolve up yet It sounds beautiful
I love the 9ths
Excuse me, i am not a native speaker.
Would you please explain the meaning of "suspended" and "resolves" in the context used?
I’m 5 years late but listening to this gave me chills and nostalgia flashbacks. Thank you brother you created a beautiful rendition of this piece of my childhood
Great song, great cover, but most of all, great sweater
Lambo Murphy he looks so fly in it....
I'll show myself out
hey don't be so soar, I laughed ;)
I agree
Really guys? I thought it looked a little plane.
I thought those were fish this whole time
Every time that harmonic gets picked my ears feel a special kind of joy that I didn't know existed. Beautifully done my friend.
Hahah this made me lol. Thanks my dude : )
@@SamGriffinGuitar i dont know how yer doing those harmonics its really pissing me off

I feel like I could play this as dinner music at a fancy party and no one would be the wiser.
Videogame soundtracks can be crazy powerful. They give you this feeling that takes you back to your childhood and a sense of wonder. Awesome cover
I legit almost cried with how beautiful this is.
Soy Face
@@PoopaChallupa stupid
You are probably gay.
Impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to this. It just takes me away....
I used to be too scared to play this level so I had to ask my brother to do it for me... This song brings me back, love it
Merav Roza, haha me too :) nothing used to scare me more than underwater Mario levels
Sweet memory
Because of the eel?
@@kenshin6553 There is no eel in Dire Dire Docks. That's Jolly Roger Bay.
@@L33PL4Y this theme plays in both levels

It's such a tranquil little ditty : )
For real is this not one of the really great compositions of all time? And absolutely wonderful arrangement man. Thankee!

Dude this performance is so magic. I completely love it, one of my favorites songs of Mario 64 in guitar makes it 100x times better.

@Ezugo Obuekwe 'tune' seems like a perfect way of calling this little piece of music for me 🤗
@Ezugo Obuekwe Play legend of Zelda and its called song of storms, song of time etc. I would definitely call this a song.

Incredible. Would never have thought to transpose this to guitar.
I know man! This was a request. Turned out noiceee
This was just beautiful. Perfectly done. So much nostalgia. Doesn’t just remind me of the game; it reminds me of that time period in my life. Thank you.
That was wonderful, Sam
Legendary song. As a kid i left the console on for hours just to hear this one particular song. Soo relaxing..
Perfect cover of one of the best songs in the game!

0:22 Warm and fuzzy feelings commence
So well played!! :'D Beautiful arrangement, Sam!
Listening to it I can remember where I first played this game, what the room smelled like, the entire atmosphere. Crazy.
This piece is buried in the minds of a generation! Thanks for this interpretation.
Your "feel" is off the charts! WOW!
I used to go to dire dire docks just to listen to this song...not anymore. Now I come to Sam Griffin’s channel. Thank you.
Your ending skits are the best
This was always one of my favorite songs from any video game.
1:48 is officially a contender for one of the most beautiful fucking chords i’ve ever heard in my life. was like a mini orchestra behind him in those bass resonance notes. shits magic man, i’m bein corny but like bravo lmao.
this song is one of the best of the whole game and you made it justice. amazing!
This is an outstanding piece of melancholic and melodious music when played on guitar. It stands alone beautifully even when detached entirely from the game. Brilliant.
That shit is beautiful. Amazing to think about how much went into these games. No wonder they can't be matched.
This song always carried a level of nostalgia even the first time I ever heard it when I was 12. Great cover!
Words can’t describe how well this sounds! My man, you did an awesome job!
Oh my days. This is my childhood all over. I absolutely loved this music. This is bloody amazing. Made my day!
Holy god who didn't find this relaxing as a kid (or adult)?! This rendition just makes me that much more tranquil.
im gonna cry, this is incredible
This song is too good to be a super mario 64 song. Just amazes me the music that came out of the golden age of video games.
Legit. Always imagine sitting on the crisp white sand of a beach and hearing this. Watching the ocean waves pass.
It’s gotta be like the most un-Mario, Mario song. I always thought it was a really cool tune. Very deep sounding if that makes sense
Marty Moberly Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 both have a handful of other beautiful tracks like this. “Space Junk Galaxy” comes to mind; I highly recommend looking that one up if you haven’t heard it before.
jSyndeo Music I love the Space Junk Galaxy theme (and Super Mario Galaxy in general)!
I don't feel it's "un-Mario" necessarily but to me it has always felt more like a credits theme than a course theme, if that makes sense.
Imo the "depth" is that aside from the risk of drowning, it feels safe... and almost truly happy... almost.
Something about this song is just so soothing and its even more soothing on a classical. Love this!
Mario 64 one of the most underrated soundtracks of all-time. For the amount of praise this game has gotten over the years, the music is never talked about enough. Brilliant rendition of the best song on the OST, imo.
Who else can just hear this and literally smell the room you played it in. The environment. The feeling.
I love this song! Every time my brother played the game and would go to that "water world" I enjoyed sitting beside him and listen only to the music 😊 a lovely piece! 👌👍👏
Hearing this song always makes me feel like a kid taking turns playing Mario 64 with my brother. Good cover man sounds perfect
Perfect! That's simply one of the best performances I have ever seen! Congratulations man!
So many happy memories. These covers make me smile inside.
2:15 Asking the REAL questions.
Bless. 💯
Best song in the Mario Universe, and a completely perfect cover. Great job man.
I've had this song stuck in my head for like a week, and the magical TH-cam algorithm led me right to you again Sammyboy. Thanks bruh.
4 years waiting for you to play this song...
thanx, mate
They should put this version in Mario Odyssey, haha.
This song and the nostalgia it carries is the cure for the coronavirus. Trust me.
You’re not wrong. Sitting in front of my 27” wooden boxed Zenith TV in 96 again
Im in my friends basement right now in high school
wildebt pretty sure the cure for coronavirus is being a healthy person under the age of 65
@@ThatGuy-y2c I pretty sure that will not cure you, you just got a better chance of survival
Be kind man, not mankind. Since the fatality rate for those under 65 with no underlying medical conditions seems to be about 2%, I like my odds.
Best song ever written for a video game. It's such a beautiful song, it doesn't even sound like something that would be for a game. Well played sir!
In my opinion the absolute best water level theme.
i got goosebumps in my whole body as soon as you hit the first note. fuck you're good.
amazing cover, the tempo is perfect
Excellent work my friend. Tis a beautiful melody and it shines through your performance.
i cant stop watching your mario64 covers. they are so great. please just make the entire game in a playlist :D
you have to be one of the cleanest guitarist i have ever seen, please keep going with all these awesome covers. The mario 2 one was INSANE lol.
the good ol 64 days ...... nice job !!!!
For real. them kid times!
You finally did it. Sounds so beautiful under your fingers, thanks again Sam
I tear up watching this. Oh childhood. What simpler times.
Always love coming back to this video. You play it so well! Amazing playing
You're one of the few channels i enjoy watching over and over again, i love your art, good vibes ✌
one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...
Such great playing! The quality of the playing and feel take your videos up to the best of what you can even find on TH-cam for covers. Also this song feels very Legend of Zelda-esque.
One of your best ever, next to the guile theme. You’re a really good guitar player
that sweater looks cozy
Wow! I was going to watch the first seconds and got glued to the screen the whole video.
Another classic. Your skills are absolutely insane man. I could listen to you play all day
