No better place for classic video game themes arranged on guitar. Thanks guys!
Yes we are! Our newest stuff isn’t on there but we have three albums of video game covers and one album of traditional pop/rock covers that we did with Dan Avidan - open.spotify.com/artist/2WosnSaZPybvQfyGUvD3NX?si=ypb0Ug3zRJqL1Ypuice8CQ
@westisbe5t Their Ocarina of Time album is sick.
Gotta get them tabs dawg aw man
Thanks! Love the arrangement!
Aquatic Ambiance has got to be in running for one of the best instrumental songs of the 20th century.
Yeah... I used to play many times that stage on DK just to hear this song, and it still has sounding in my head for all these years!
This made me tear up.. I remember being like 8 yrs old and I would beg my grandma to come watch me play DK when her and grandpa visited. She would do it happily, just sit on the edge of my bed and watch me play DK without a complaint just because I was so stoked on the game and I guess she could see that and went along with it just to make me happy. Love you grams.
Your memory made me tear up 😢. This is one game that my mom and grandma would actually come and play with us. When they would come in we would bunch up around them and watch them play 😊
Yes
I loved your comment
made me tear up as well because no doubt we associate this with better times or at least fond ones!
I was already crying but thanks for sharing.
If this ain't played at my funeral, I'm jumping out of a barrel in a new body
This made me lol
I can still hear the barrel firing sound!
Lmfao wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 epic af
Hunter S Thompson had his remains fired out of a cannon lol
You win the internet
Nostalgia activated. If you owned a copy of this game then you had an awesome childhood.
We are the first and only ever to have that kind of childhood.
Truly we were blessed beyond our wildest comprehension
My stepdad beat me with a copy of Donkey Kong Country.
Had the Tshirt that came with the release. Was such a magical time of my life.
My next-door neighbor and friend owned this game and i used to go over to his house and play it. Does that still mean i had an awesome childhood, even if i didn't own a copy personaly?
The creativity that goes into these arrangements is super inspiring
SSNNNNNNN
Nes drunk
Sup Drunk
They should cover your intro!
It's mind shattering. Sam's explosive arpeggio run. phyewsh.
Multi-play with me please. Maybe some Secret of Evermore. I’ll be yer dog.
This song has always amazed me, even as a wee lad.
So calming yet has undertones of despair.
Honestly, maybe their best cover ever, no exaggeration.
100%. I agree.
Honestly this is great wtf
100%
Have you heard Gerudo Valley? This is pleasing though
Maybe? You mean most bloody definitely
Everytime I hear this song I think about David Wise being tasked with making the music for a level where monkeys swim and collect bananas and then creating something so absurdly beautiful
Imagine being the composer of this song and figuring it all out on midi
David Wise is a genius. Period.
Imagine getting that kind of sound down to a couple kilobytes on a SNES music chip. The composition itself is already great, but to have that kind of sound clarity on a SNES was basically unheard of at the time. David Wise is the man!
I have 16 years playing music and I can tell you that what captivates me the most is thinking on how David was able to reach this musical greatness, this magnificent voice movement and sweet chord progressions. Moving this music to 8 or 16 bits I would say is more a technical aspect that can be resolved with the appropriate technician.
@@joserobertocarmona3285 I have 25 years of music and 11 years of computer science and I guarantee you that booth tasks are equally challenging.
@@EduardoRohdeEras thank you, I was just sharing my view, ahd I really appreciate you for sharing yours bro.
I happened to hear you guys play this live in Detroit for the NSP acoustic tour this year and I gotta say, it was an almost intimidating moment, humbling more like, the silence of the crowd while y'all plucked and strummed away. Not even a sound, dude, but the ambience, It was a powerful energy that is going to stick in my brain forever. This song means so much to me and to many of the others out there in that crowd and to hear y'all just happen to play that live, that shit was life changing and it brought tears to my eyes, I was holding my nose the whole song holding em back. Knowing y'all were playing for your friends and family in the crowd too, you guys rocked the hell out of it. I hope I get to see you guys tour again, either with NSP again or on your own, I would to love to see your guys' full show someday. Thanks for the most epic performance in Detroit dudes, you rock!
Dude i just read this comment and just want to say that it REALLY means a lot to hear something like this. Thanks so much 🥹
Oh man I'm jealous, I was sposta be at that exact show but life showed up instead. I can't imagine how intense the feeling of hearing this live would be.
1:35 That run tho
Thank you for calling that out! Holy balls
got instant goosebumps
So insane yet so subtle !
Yup
Doing that on an acoustic with no cutout around the base of the neck is just silly.
This is insane. The skill and dedication here is something to behold. The glass slide to imitate the chorus synth effect is beyond me. Just bravo gentlemen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🤟🏻
I am thinking that same thing 😂
Hell yeah, everything from dkc is a banger
you are not wrong.
Top 25 game soundtracks of all time.
EVERYTHING
Easily a contender for most underrated soundtrack of all videogames. Crazy how good the music of these games was and how little it is talked about.
@@GaudyGabriev well I mean I wouldn’t call it underrated because it seems like people are talking about this soundtrack all of the time, but it’s still amazing.
My uncle is deaf and he always loved Donkey Kong, a game that was part of his childhood. He had an old video game that he played a lot, and I also had a lot of contact with these more retro games.
When I stop to listen to the songs in this game, I feel sad for my uncle, who loves this game but never had the opportunity to listen to these wonderful pieces...
why did this make me wanna cry. this had no business provoking those emotions on me. LOL
You're not the only one. Reminds me of being around 8 years old and playing this game with my mom. Beautiful song that brings up nostalgic, happy memories.
@@headknocker2020 Oh my God, yes. The nostalgia from this is almost overwhelming. I want to go back to those times.
The song sounds very melancholic too, it’s the notes that evoke emotion. Just goes to show how great a composer David Wise is. He’s a genius. The sadness vibes really fit with a dying world theme, pollution in the water, etc.
Holycow!
1. The mix is wonderful.
2. Definitely the best song from DK.
3. You are both on a completely different level, especially when it comes to sync.
4. That shred bro 1:34
1:34 yes, amazing
Best song from DK1 anyway, Stickerbush Symphony is probably the best all time.
Hearing this took me back all those years, me and my brother's sat huddled around our tiny TV and super Nintendo.
4real!
So true man!! My bro and I would stay up all night playing during the summer. I miss the hell out of those days!!
I love how the dynamics are the most important part of playing this song. Every song has a theme that can be translated into a guitar lesson. Great stuff.
Doesnt matter which version of this I hear, I still hear Enguarde going bwoop bwoop bwoop in my head
And I can hear the spinning octopus corridors and diddy screaming "wahhh" when he gets hit followed by him knocking on the barrel 😂
thank you
I'm such a fan of you guys.. this wakes up emotions and mindfulness lying deep within my soul, when my heart was pure...
👏🏻🙌🏻❤
Honestly with that guitar slide this sounds like a Resident Evil save room theme at first
No it sounds like a resident evil save room hands down ,I thought I was the only one
Whoops... I wrote basically the same comment 😅
I didn't realise that until you mentioned it.
Lmao thats harsh. I think it was a perfect touch, since bending the note just wouldn't have sounded the same.
@@puhbrox Oh heck yeah it sounds great. I just thought it sounded similar :D
Hey, we need you to make a song for a video game... yeah, it's for a water world where two apes swim underwater, collect bananas, and ride swordfish.
*proceeds to make the most beautiful and emotional song in video game history*
Just when you think you heard every kind of cover of aquatic ambience, you hear a new kind that feels just as wimsical as the first time you heard it
Damn. well said
Right? It has heavy "John Gomm - Passion Flower" vibes! 🥰
To play this song on sustainless guitars is a really difficult challenge. This cover is a masterpiece. It made me cry helplessly. Nerd tears are the best ones. Thank you!
One of the best videogame tracks of all time. Performed by some of the greatest RUclips musicians.
01:34 Jeeez Louise!! He actually pulled it off!😮😄🎸⭐🌊🦍👊
I was wondering "Oh, another aquatic ambiance cover" but that Harp run flexing was more than enough to justify it. Best version out there no doubt.
This was really fun to listen to. You guys did an amazing tribute to one of the best songs in one of the best game soundtracks of the 90's!
This is so FREAKING coooool!!! Gonna play DK country later at night because of this video! 😁😁😁🎮
Damm... If I could, I would give a thumbs up every single time that I come here, to listen you two playing this song. Thankyou very much for this performance! Cheers from Brazil! God bless you two, your friends and family!
Masterfully executed good sirs.
Amazing!
Nice to see you here 🍄 Amazing cover🙏
I literally just keep coming back to close my eyes and visualize being 8 years old again, and playing Coral Capers over and over just to hear the soundtrack. That was when I knew I was a musician. That connection to the sounds that were coming out of my TV set, was unbreakable. Thanks again Boys.
This song turned me back into monkeh and transported me underwater I can see the level, I can see the swordfish you can free and ride on, I can see the shark and fish enemies, it’s like I’m 6 all over again! Wonderful rendition fellas! Glad to be a subscriber!
Ah, to be monke again.
To be in the 90s again
very masterful combination of the ebow and slide. an interesting solution to a novel problem, and very elegantly implemented.
LOVE THESE GUYS. I felt the stare at the end, Sam. Thank you for piercing my soul
I mean, yeah they're godlike and all, but i bet they can't beat Dark Souls with a guitar amirite?
love your stuff man! that run was sick btw lol
Makes your words like my words.......
I'm so greatfully for this
Lorbors jyoonyor is here!
omg i watched your Dark Souls playtroughs back in tha days
1:34 might be the coolest run in all of guitar playing ever in the history of the world lol
The wholy Grail of game music. Will pay for tabs
We’ve got the tabs for this one already on our Patreon page for only a $5 pledge - www.patreon.com/posts/49089085
@@SuperGuitarBros well hot damn.
This would be a great piece to train the ear!
Simply beautiful.
The run leading up to the main melody legitimately gave me goosebumps. What an amazing cover.
Seeing this live in San Francisco with the gorgeous blue lighting behind them, was an absolute spectacle
Guys cmon. I need a 10 min version of this. Beautiful as always, thanks fellas.
10 hr*, fixed it for ya 👌
right click, loop
Masterful as always
You are masterful MadSeason. And I love how you incorporate the Donkey Kong OST into your videos :)
Love this cover of the legendary song! TBC hype!
Madseasonshow is the reason I discovered SGB in the first place. Thanks to all of you guys for the superb content. It makes my day.
Aquatic Ambiance by two of the most talented guitarist on RUclips. Thanks guys 👍
Man, watching this for the umpteenth time, on the second chorus the backup guitarist is not just playing chords, he's hitting notes that are very subtle yet add ALOT to the complexity. Very skillful.
This is one of the finest 16bit songs ever, as well as one of the best covers I've ever heard of any song. Thank you.
Man this shit have me goosebumps and nightmarish flash backs at the same time from this god forsaken level. Really amazing and creative cover none the less.
David Wise's writing is so effing amazing
This brought back so many memories of my childhood
The freaking slide to open the song, Steve. Aaaahhhhh!!! This song is the poster child for what David Wise did for video game music, so freaking great. Incredible cover guys!
Quem der deslike num video desses, tem que ser surrado de pau!!!!
Ficou mais que perfeito!!!!! Os caras tocam muito bem!!!😱😱😱😱👍🏻🇧🇷
Eita poha do karalho
This warmed my heart as it blasted me right in the nostalgia. Thank you for unearthing a trove of forgotten childhood memories. Cheers
Nostalgic childhood melodies feel my ears!
i shed some tears listening to this. The amount of creatively and passion that goes into your arrangements and playing is really inspiring to me as a musician. Keep up the donkey kong covers i think they are your guys best work! thank you for this awesome video!
This literally might be my favorite thing ever.
Hauntingly beautiful, like no other cover made of this track. None other can compare.
I’m in Love. The water level was my least favorite level in the game, but it had my favorite song in the game. I would replay the level just to hear this song. 😍😍Great job guys!
🤣 same here. Me and my sister hated the water levels, but we liked the music.
Found the next song I'm going to listen to on repeat while I work for the next month
4 minutes of non stop shivers.
Sam’s playing is a lot more ...sensual with the Bros. The tone, the patience, and the focus is so profound.
The harmonies ring out so much deeper with two guitars, making it so satisfying to take your time between chords and let the sound drift and evaporate. So expertly executed.
Amazingly done.
This is top notch nostalgia.
Some of the best guitar composition I've ever heard, hands down. Incredibly beautiful.
Oh my gosh the guitar slide for the intro is brilliant haha
An ebow on an acoustic guitar. Now I've seen everything.
Have you seen an ebow on a banjo?
John Butler loves to use his e-bow on his acoustic :D
@@LoungeFly02 John Butler Trio? Haven’t heard of him until you mentioned it. I’ll check them out!
eBow with a glass slide, too - very pleasant and gentle accompaniment to the nylon guitar lead.
@@JoshGUITARofolo If you like grassroots jamband/funk/alternative you'll enjoy them. He uses the ebow mainly at live gigs, Revolution live or What You Want London 2011 live has him using it.
Used to play this stages only for the music. Such a beautiful song. Great version
omgggg so hype for this
now that it’s finally out.. wow.. so good. you guys went hard i love it
Man... just beautiful.
That ebow... Uh! Chills!
This premieres just in time for my morning coffee break at work.
Enjoy your coffee ! Have great day
@@koYyn thanks mate! Have a great day
Idk why but this made me happy and sad at the same time. Very nostalgic. Well done.
Good choice of song to cover.
This piece always reminded me of Ozric Tentacles meets Tangerine Dream (circa Underwater Sunlight album).
So it's wonderful to see that allusion in a way reach fruition & become realised as this exquisite dual guitar interpretation. Beautifully done ❤
1:34 holy shet Sam. I mean, the whole thing is just amazing, Geez.
Thank you for the nostalgia feeling of a simpler life and the memories
My my, this is gorgeous. Do I hear a full DKC album coming ;-)
Instant transportation back to my childhood. Sitting on the floor with my eyes closed and just listening to this music for the first time. You truly did phenomenal work with this cover. Thank you for sharing.
Imagine having so little taste that you're 1 of 3 people to dislike this video... Amazing guys. Ya'll are my favorite!
Best song ever!
Man I recently went back and played this on the switch digital SNES and that whole soundtrack gave me goosebumps. It goes so hard.
Breathless
I never grew up with DKC but this is easily one of my favourite water level themes along with dire dire docks and that beeping thing that happens in the older sonic games.... ok so maybe not that last one. An amazing arrangement
Garrissey told me to listen to Super Guitar Bros. I listen to Garrissey. I listen to Super Guitar Bros.
Those chords starting at 0:58 or so are out of this world
I got 14 seconds in before tearin' up. (applause)
wtf why this is so relaxing
They really really good
8-Bit Music Theory explains it.
Because the original song is already relaxing as it is, then add acoustic instruments
"wtf why"? Do you really expect someone to answer this for you? What kind of question is basically "Wtf why do I like music"?
@@michaelhaydenbell is a jk bro
Amazing and perfect for the summer.
that legato/sweep run was just amazing! The thought that all notes were played on a acoustic nylon string guitar is just amazing.
It was very satisfying.
it was and is indeed :D@@kikij6465
What a masterpiece
David Wise and Evelyn FIscher did such a wonderful job on this game... tears me up all the time
DKC 1 and 2 were amazing games. Primetime rare. Back when the industry knew how to make soulful games
The first time i heard sams run in this it made me compulsively go "ooooooooh"
TALENT. What. Talent. Amazing skills.
this brought me to tears and I'm not ashamed to say it.
This was a fucking spiritual experience to hear live at the Portland NSP show. You guys are incredible. #longasswater
1:35 that run came out of nowhere and was gorgeous!
Please put this on Spotify without delay
Almost sounds like a Buckethead song this way. I _really_ like it
You know it’s serious when the E-bow comes out to play.
Makes me remember myself as a kid playing the game.
That was absolutely incredible. Always been my favourite piece of game music. Totally smashed it guys !
Fun fact : Asked my ex girlfriend to put this song on one night when we were way deep into a trip. We were both lounging about loving it and I suddenly thought - 'it feels like this song has been on for ages'. Checked the laptop and we were 2 hours and 45 minutes into a 6 hour version haha
