This was beautiful. And like many probably says, brings back wonderful childhood memories. I remember walking many blocks to my friend's apartments in the city by myself at 8 years old and playing this game and the opening screen was so memorable. I can't imagine allowing my children to do that these days. Times are so different now. I shed a tear for memories of the 80s
I have listened to so many acoustic, different renditions, different covers of this song and this is by far the absolute best. Thank you for sharing your talent man. Please show more!
Great stuff but I feel like you get started too fast. 3 times for the build up of barren space before you get into it would added more I think. Just cut and paste the 0:06 mark three times for buildup.
I listened to this and learned as much of it as I could a few years ago. I thought of it today. It's just the best rendition of this beautiful music I could hope for.
Jonas Lefvert I was born about a decade after this game came out, so I never got to experience it then...nor did I have Zero Mission when I was small, but having played through ZM and part of this one, I can say both are very memorable. It's a beautiful theme and you did a great rendition of it. Just out of curiosity, do you have a music degree?
When I searched acoustic metroid covers, because I'm thinking about doing a Metroid Prime one, I saw this video and the one you recorded 8 years ago. I love seeing how you evolved it over the years.
Born 1977 - 86 was "Metroid" 1 of 3 games Me and my brother got that year..,, being a guitar player myself but not A classical guitar player, i'm not sure how anyone can imagine how I feel about that "opening" just great !
Just saw a recommendation for your music on Geek & Sundry's Signal Boost. This is a haunting arrangement of the title from one of my favorite game series. I think Mr. Tanaka would approve. I'm looking forward to getting the tabs to try it myself. Thank you for this.
Hello sir, Amazing cover, I feel a lot of nostalgia when I listen to this tune. I was wondering if I could use this theme for a demo reel for my portfolio, would you let me use it? Thank you.
Okay, you usually surprise me with what you are capable of doing on a guitar, but this was above and beyond the horizon. Holy crap, the flageoletts O_o Well done, Jonas. Du äger :)
Wonderful transcription, loving that harmonic intro. On that note though i think tying it off at the end is a little better if you repeat the intro before fading into the open strumming. Just a thought! That's what I do when i play it :D
Beautifuly done as asual ✌️ So Good music writers in videogames its crazy! This transelvania and Diablo. They are all fitt the atmoapere of each games perfectly! ✌️
You can find some new tabs on my Facebook page (Jonas Lefvert Fanclub) before they will be released on my new homepage. Lion's Pride (WoW), Sweden (Minecraft) and Priscilla's Song (The Witcher 3).
Bra jobbat! =) Metroid var riktigt roligt att spela. Vet ej om det är "möjligt" men det vore intressant att se dig spela någon musik från spelet Gradius :)
Anton Kvarnström Tackar! Jag har spelat musik från Gradius med ett band som heter Mihaiway. Det kanske är dax att göra en version för klassisk gitarr :)

Thank you! I got this game for christmas when I was a kid :)
Just...wow. I was looking for a metal version but actually this works much much better acoustic. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this!
i highly recommend stemage aka metroid metal, his arrangements are godlike
I love how you use harmonics. So awesome.
Eagle Martinez schildt Thanks a lot!
@@JonasLefvert are those the Lenny Breau style harmonics?
It's amazing how well an acoustic guitar captures the atmosphere and feel of the music and game. Thank you for your efforts.
Ian Dickerson Thank you! More songs from games coming soon :)
I've heard a lot of metroid theme played on guitar on youtube. And I could tell about 5 seconds in that this was the best one on here.
l008comm Thank you! Your comment makes me happy :)
I have listened to so many acoustic, different renditions, different covers of this song and this is by far the absolute best. Thank you for sharing your talent man. Please show more!
All of the emotion of my youth, expressed in 2 minutes
I don't understand how you're not as big as you're supposed to be
he looks around 6 foot. how tall was he supposed to be?
@@itisinickt I meant his engagement in TH-cam.
@@moikel888 whooosh wow
The past isn't always better but why cant we just admit it when it is?
You can now find tabs to this song under the Guitar Tabs on my homepage.
thanks a ton! really cool arrangement
Great stuff but I feel like you get started too fast. 3 times for the build up of barren space before you get into it would added more I think. Just cut and paste the 0:06 mark three times for buildup.
Thank you! This music is so beautiful. That Hip Tanaka sure was something
this is absolutely incredible
Thank you!

Can’t believe I just stumbled across this. Takes me back to being a kid again. Haunting title music given its just deserves. Well done.
Por alguna razón, siento nostalgia al escuchar esta canción, en mi opinion es el mejor tema de metroid.
I played it as a child and that is why I came here I wang to thank you
XxGamingninjaxX ha
"Wang"
Did Mister Wang receive your thanks?
I literally got chills when this starting playing from your Playlist!
I really love this version. Metroid is still my all time favourite NES game, thanks ❤
This is inspiring man, you really paid tribute in the best way. Kept the original spirit of the tune
Thank you! I will :)
Great song, so much old memories!
Thanks! Old good memories.
Love this cover delicate descent of notes at 0:30 and sorry for the bad english.
I have listened to this maybe 100 times through.
This is the best video on TH-cam. I'm here daily!
Wow! Thanks a lot :)
Jonas Lefvert still coming back. 🙌
Still here.
Thank you for this soul-searing rendition of the Hip Tanaka classic.
Thank you too! :)
I've been playing classical guitar for over ten years and didn't know that you could do harmonics like that. So cool.
1989theblacknight Thanks! Look at my video "How to play classical harmonics".
awesome, bro.
+Mariachi Entertainment System (MES) Thanks!
Perfect. Tears streaming down my face.
Thank you very much!
I really like this one, I've never thought of adding the harmonics. Love it!
Thank you! I like harmonics. It's a cool effect :)
thank you so very much for investing the time into this. means a lot
Roger Smith Thank you Roger!
So many good memories while hearing this.
Old good memories!
The acoustic guitar works well for the more melancholic tone of the original NES Metroid theme, nice work here.
Thanks a lot!
This is unbelievable.
Thanks a lot!
The less I can do is sharing it. Thank you, one of the best things I've ever heard
