This Mario 64 Song Is Too Hard ❄

Cool Cool Mountain from Mario 64 while I wear a penguin outfit.

This tune is basically the same as Slide. It's one of the coolest tracks from Mario 64. Do you get it? Cool? Watch me SLIDE my fingers all around the fretboard to produce all the required notes for it to be the song: Cool Cool Mountain from Mario 64. A game for the Nintendo 64!

If you want more video game covers and original compositions on the classical guitar like this one, TABS, and general acoustic remix shredding, this is the place spot for all your video game guitar covers needs. Smack a sub. Smack a bell. Smack yourself.

what is funny to think about is all the main songs you commonly hear in mario 64 levels (grass theme, slide theme, snow theme) are the same song, just arranged slightly different.

I think Sam Griffin is the only person who can simultaneously make me extremely impressed and want to give up on guitar while wearing a penguin suit

[SorandaGuitar]

It never even crossed my mind that this theme could be played on just one guitar. What a feat! You really can play anything on guitar. Congratulations Sam!

What makes this so incredible is it sounds like 2-3 different amazing

[ethanskywalker]

I'm so deeply confused at the sheer dichotomy of watching a grown man in a penguin bag playing guitar like an absolute god.

[Scortch]

Thanks for bringing back memories of Mario throwing that baby penguin off the cliff

Koji Kondo is a genius. Very underrated as a song writer. He's a legend.

I don’t care what anyone says, the phrasing that Sam gives to the base notes and melodic lines of all his covers blows past stuff like classical dragon for me. Shredding is cool, but I keep coming back to this stuff.

[Shaolinjake]

Just gotta nonchalantly throw in tremolo picking in that B section 😤 😂amazing job per usual, Sam!!

[Weltall]

You have so much control. Every time I see your videos I can't imagine taking the time to transcribe this to guitar. Super cool stuff man 😎

[HarmoniChris]

Dude, sick! The bass motion is crazy. Some of my favorite work of yours yet.

[CherishedGames]

There are some amazingly talented guitar players here in the comments, singing praises about how amazingly talented you are. The penguin suit can't shed an ounce of respect for what an incredible instrument the guitar can be in the right flippers.

[RyanZPianoGuy]

That’s mad impressive, especially those repeated notes 🤯

[PabloCardonaMusic]

1:53 Pablo from the backyardigans? It all makes sense now

[TayTayKemp]

Hey Sam it’s Taylor! The guy you met at guitar center in Chicago!! Hope your gig went well that night and sorry I couldn’t make it!! Awesome job on this 🤙

[HalJikaKick]

You’re a magnificent player and musician. Going through a hard time in my life right now and your videos mske me happy.

[andrewhamilton]

You are such a ridiculous guitar player. Watching your left hand fly around the fretboard and still hitting the cleanest tone. Incredible stuff. What a cover, Sam.

The return of the king 👑👑👑



Edit: wow that tremolo was insane, nice touch.

[reaper]

Wow, this interpretation of the song is unbelievably complex and impressive!!!

Left hand is like a spider playing Twister. The right is a spider who just won the lottery. Really well done, friend, and funny as the dickens. Merry Christmas.
