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
@@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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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! 👌👍👏
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.
Such great playing! The quality of the playing and feel take your videos up to the best of what you can even find on RUclips for covers. Also this song feels very Legend of Zelda-esque.
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.
This is a masterpiece! You have a unique talent to make songs so perfect (talent that I do not have) make the castle of Final Fantasy VIII, besides being a challenge would surely be another masterpiece!
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.
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!

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
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?)
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
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

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 feel like I could play this as dinner music at a fancy party and no one would be the wiser.
Impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to this. It just takes me away....
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.
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 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
0:22 Warm and fuzzy feelings commence
This one's always made me feel at peace man. Awesome cover Sam!!
It's such a tranquil little ditty : )
They should put this version in Mario Odyssey, haha.

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.
Listening to it I can remember where I first played this game, what the room smelled like, the entire atmosphere. Crazy.
That was wonderful, Sam
im gonna cry, this is incredible
This was always one of my favorite songs from any video game.
Your ending skits are the best
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.
Oh my days. This is my childhood all over. I absolutely loved this music. This is bloody amazing. Made my day!
Incredible. Would never have thought to transpose this to guitar.
I know man! This was a request. Turned out noiceee

@Ezugo Obuekwe the one played in this video
@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 🙏
@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.
Ezugo Obuekwe stfu
Perfect cover of one of the best songs in the game!
This is possibly my favourite Mario tune! Beautiful!
I tear up watching this. Oh childhood. What simpler times.
In my opinion the absolute best water level theme.
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.

Legendary song. As a kid i left the console on for hours just to hear this one particular song. Soo relaxing..
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.
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.
This piece is buried in the minds of a generation! Thanks for this interpretation.
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.
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! 👌👍👏
Legit. Always imagine sitting on the crisp white sand of a beach and hearing this. Watching the ocean waves pass.
This brought me pure blissful nostalgia
Your "feel" is off the charts! WOW!
This song always carried a level of nostalgia even the first time I ever heard it when I was 12. Great cover!
That shit is beautiful. Amazing to think about how much went into these games. No wonder they can't be matched.
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.

Who else can just hear this and literally smell the room you played it in. The environment. The feeling.
Words can’t describe how well this sounds! My man, you did an awesome job!
How wonderful song
Holy god who didn't find this relaxing as a kid (or adult)?! This rendition just makes me that much more tranquil.
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.
Hearing this song always makes me feel like a kid taking turns playing Mario 64 with my brother. Good cover man sounds perfect
this song is one of the best of the whole game and you made it justice. amazing!
4 years waiting for you to play this song...
thanx, mate
2:15 Asking the REAL questions.
Bless. 💯
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!
I could listen to this non stop
calm music, calm instrument...? I can't keep my mouth shut.
one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...
i got goosebumps in my whole body as soon as you hit the first note. fuck you're good.
I've had this song stuck in my head for like a week, and the magical RUclips algorithm led me right to you again Sammyboy. Thanks bruh.
i cant stop watching your mario64 covers. they are so great. please just make the entire game in a playlist :D
that sweater looks cozy
I remember when I have mario 64 and stay on the "water level" for hours just to enjoy the music.
Thanks for make this awesome version.
Perfect! That's simply one of the best performances I have ever seen! Congratulations man!
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.
Wow! I was going to watch the first seconds and got glued to the screen the whole video.
This is a really lovely rendition of one my favorite video game tunes. Thank you.
your sweater reminds me of Tsundereplane. awesome arrangement and playing.
Like listening to my childhood all over again.
By far the best song from 64
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.
Best song in the Mario Universe, and a completely perfect cover. Great job man.
You're one of the few channels i enjoy watching over and over again, i love your art, good vibes ✌

every detail identical to that of the game is perfect
the good ol 64 days ...... nice job !!!!
For real. them kid times!
Instant and perfect childhood warm feeling received
I'm watching this so many times over the years and each time I dash for the like button, but it's already checked!
This is a masterpiece! You have a unique talent to make songs so perfect (talent that I do not have) make the castle of Final Fantasy VIII, besides being a challenge would surely be another masterpiece!
So many happy memories. These covers make me smile inside.
I would walk down the isle to this song. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you. Thank you for that. I just woked up and watch this. It started my day off right. 🥰
One of your best ever, next to the guile theme. You’re a really good guitar player
When music is so amazing that bring tears to your eyes.
Excellent work my friend. Tis a beautiful melody and it shines through your performance.
Def need to make an album of all these. I heart these so much.
This video has brought back many good memories from my younger years. Thank you.
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.
This sounds amazing and is peaceful.
Another classic. Your skills are absolutely insane man. I could listen to you play all day
Always love coming back to this video. You play it so well! Amazing playing
Loved this music diving down to the sunken ship
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!
