Saw Ewan play in Cleveland many years ago and showed him my MegaMan tattoo and told him this song got me into him. Super nice guy, most rad guitar player ever.
I was finding the "covers" of this song pretty boring until I found this one which made me believe by closing my eyes that I was playing the game itself. Words can't express the nostalgia I have expressed tonight. Thank you.
RIGHT! the first time I heard Time 2 I had a really strong urge to burn my guitar and cut my fingers off. But it passed. lol I will never be as skilled as he is at the guitar. But that's okay, because I don't have the same passion that he does. I am glad I get to listen to him though.
It's 2020 amidst the height of the covid 19 pandemic and I'm visiting Jakarta with my gf for the first time.. but this mans talent takes my mind away to somewhere unaffected and tranquil, life is great.
Dude this is just amazing! When this got to spotify i added it immediately to my playlist, i have listened it so many times over and over again. props!
I just signed into my youtube account for the first time in several weeks for the express purpose of telling you how amazing this is and how big a fan I am of yours after having only discovered you thirty minutes ago. You are incredibly talented. Amazing. Liked and favorited.
I never ever thought that somebody would be able to render this masterpiece into an acoustic version and actually make it sound so magnificant! Ewan you really did a great job with this composition! This gave me some serious goosebumps since I'm an avid NES and Mega Man fan! Especially MM2 and Willys stage. Also thank you for the tabs! I'll try my best to learn this song!
There are many versions of this piece here on RUclips . . . and this is the best one on here now! Thank you Ewan! Shotaro Nakamura has a better presentation though.
Sheet music is one of the most useful things on a guitar, or any instrument. You can't read rhythms using tab. It's there to show you where to play a certain note on the board. If I see an E note written on the top line of my written music, I don't know if it's a 2nd D, an open e, a 12th fret E, or 7th fret A. Tab shows me where it's played in perspective to the music. When you see the written out stave above tab, that's what it's for. It's a useful tool. You don't know what you're talking about
Holy Cow Ewan. When my friend Steve and I first heard your music for the first time. We said "man wish he would do video game music".... now are wish has come true. Hope down the road you'll do more :).
I've been here since the beginning, constantly waiting for and watching new videos. No-one spanks the guitar like Dobson. I watch other acoustic video game covers too, no doubt, but, Ewan, your songs have found a way into my playlist of music when I'm playing FPS's (and no not, CoD, not that I have a bias, but games like Titanfall and Gotham City Imposters, and Transformers WfC & FoC and other wonky shooters) it's songs like this that have earned a space on my roster entitled, "Music to kill by". Keep em' coming Ewan, keep em' coming!
wow, I just found your videos and ordered your first and new forthcoming CD's. Wow, fan for life bro. thanks for the awesome visual trips I see each time I hear your songs. You see it, feel it as well as hear it.
Imagine this. What dedicated fans have been waiting for, for over a decade. The ultimate fusion of two things normally not combined, the melodic sound of fingerstyle guitar and the electronic synthesizer beats of retro video game music We present to you: SNES/Genesis/Chiptune/Retro Mix by Ewan Dobson - 2022 Album
You just bless my childhood, thank you. Huge Mega Man fan and love your work. Thank you (highly doubt you'll ever see this comment but it's the thought that counts)
More Mega Man!!!!!! I would love to see an album full of video game covers. your music is already so video game-like, I'd love to hear your renditions of things. This song was so you.
Saw Ewan play in Cleveland many years ago and showed him my MegaMan tattoo and told him this song got me into him. Super nice guy, most rad guitar player ever.
His compositions always sounded like a mashup of NES classic games like Mega Man especially, glad to see this :D
For 2 minutes and 4 seconds I was 8 years old again. I remember Wood Man, Bubble Man, Quick Man, Metal Man and so on...
I remember those days,
Looks like Ewan defeated Guitar Man and got his power!
Perfect comment
That hand position at 1:15. ...Broke my hand in two
Is this even... human ?
romain perriot-amey yes it is, I can play it. =/
PJEstrada006 its not hard dude
dude he's in open tuning thats like a 4 fret stretch. get a grip
I was finding the "covers" of this song pretty boring until I found this one which made me believe by closing my eyes that I was playing the game itself. Words can't express the nostalgia I have expressed tonight. Thank you.
I now know that I will never be as good at anything in my life as this man is at Guitar.
I am not ashamed.
RIGHT! the first time I heard Time 2 I had a really strong urge to burn my guitar and cut my fingers off.
But it passed. lol
I will never be as skilled as he is at the guitar. But that's okay, because I don't have the same passion that he does. I am glad I get to listen to him though.
I never get tired of hearing any of your songs. You have to do some CastleVania songs soon! =D
Sonic songs and SNES/Genesis mix would be epic
I tried to play this song, but I fell in a pit right away.
Highly underrated.
Watch at 1.25 speed.
lol
once you go to 1.25,
you never go back.
It's 2020 amidst the height of the covid 19 pandemic and I'm visiting Jakarta with my gf for the first time.. but this mans talent takes my mind away to somewhere unaffected and tranquil, life is great.
You should totally put out an entire mega man album! Good stuff!
oh how this brings memories back. HAVE TO GET MEGA MAN 2 AGAIN NOW!!!!
I always love seeing rpoland uploaded an ewan video
Mr. Dobson delivering as always, awesome work!
THANK YOU EWAN and the Candy Rat Crew. AWESOME
omg why am i finding this video nowww, i've been looking at covers of this for years now!
I heard that.
That is some crazy control and technique. Wow!
Dude this is just amazing! When this got to spotify i added it immediately to my playlist, i have listened it so many times over and over again. props!
this is just lovely.
I think this is the greatest thing I have ever seen...
Wow...this just made my year.
iTunes🎵で購入してから久しぶり聴いたのですがやっぱり素晴らしい☺️
かっこいい演奏ありがとうございます😊
Please do more Mega Man covers, you are bringing back my childhood memories. 🙏

Ohhhhhhhhhh my Goooooooooood, man you are a time machine, you don't have idea of how far away back in time you took me, about 20 years.Aaaaaaaawesome.
He is just amazing. No doubt to it. Just amazing. I'm slack jawed every time I see him perform.
One of the best covers I've heard of this great classic video game tune, awesome job sir!
There are many versions of this piece here on RUclips . . . and this is the best one on here now! Thank you Ewan!
Shotaro Nakamura has a better presentation though.
Dude, you are freaking amazing. On my best day, I could only play the guitar half as well as you.
Alas, we cannot, for we are only human. He is more than human.
grumblekin
I though it was a lot of practice, turns out you just need to be born :)
I once tripped and fell on a set of drums, that was the closest I've ever came to making music.
10 years and still listening to this :)
Best belated Christmas present ever.

2021 and still love ewan
I smiled the whole way through. Sweet job.
A beautiful piece made better by a gifted musician.
One of my fav video game songs of all time. Thank you, so much!
Oh my he is so great, cannot stop listening. I wish one day some man would do that me lol, meaning the way he handles his instrument, with love.
and he does it so effortlessly, you sir are a GOD
Holy Cow Ewan. When my friend Steve and I first heard your music for the first time. We said "man wish he would do video game music".... now are wish has come true. Hope down the road you'll do more :).
You make this look so easy. It's the best guitar redition I've heard. I'd like to see you doing "Running Around" from River City Ransom.

Wow... Amazing!! I love this ... Great game and wonderful playing... Very talented ....
Mega Man 2 has some of the best soundtracks of the series. This and Metal Man's stage are my favorites. Good job man!!
Such an eargasm!
Throw your audiophile CD in the trashcan. On my audio setup, this is the best record I've ever heard. I hope he will compose more music for old games.
You've made my day, sir
wow, I just found your videos and ordered your first and new forthcoming CD's.
Wow, fan for life bro. thanks for the awesome visual trips I see each time I hear your songs. You see it, feel it as well as hear it.
