Super Mario Bros. Theme feat. John Petrucci and FamilyJules

Get this cover (also on Spotify!):

This was a dream come true. Ernie Ball hit me up and asked me if I would like to do a video with John Petrucci this month while he was doing his tour for G3. John is one of my biggest influences of all time, I've been listening to Dream Theater for as long as I can remember and owe so much of my playing ability to his tutorials on YouTube as well as his DVD, Rock Discipline. He is one of my biggest idols of all time and getting to do this with him was immeasurably huge for me. It's so hard to even think of words to describe it here. Thank you again to Ernie Ball for their extreme generosity in giving me this gorgeous guitar and the amazing opportunity to work with John Petrucci! I hope you guys enjoy the Mario theme re-imagined by the greatest prog guitarist of our time.

Usually I extend my covers to be much longer but due to John's strict tour schedule, it was difficult for him to do anymore than a minute long tune. Needless to say, he didn't need much more to annihilate this song. I'm so grateful he was able to carve time out of his busy schedule to do this.

Please check out the Monarchy Series Majesty by Ernie Ball Music Man. It is a work of art and an absolute dream to play. I will be playing it a lot more on YouTube after Year 4 is over!

Check out John Petrucci at G3!

The guy on the left looks so talented, he should join Dream Theater

[digitaldeathsquid]

I love how he just appeared in the doorway and said "It's-a me!"

[chuck]

I’m sure Koji Kondo would never have imagined his song would be so iconic it would be played again and again more than 30 years later by orchestras, metal heads, pianists, a cappella singers, jds, and many many more people and styles.

It is a truly amazing piece. Even my 7 and 5 year old kids instantly recognize it.

[yaboi]

It’s official. Jules has one-up’d every YouTube guitarist.

[TheBitDrummer]

Dude, that is Fricken awesome! Thank you, Mario! XD

[arthurmason]

Jared Dines : I got Matt Heafy on my video
Jules : Hold my beer.

[elBanananas]

Jokes aside, Petrucci's solo in this is seriously amazing

[ryanbradley]

Petrucci is looking like Metal Santa. Giving guitars to people on his "shredder list"

[ColeRolland]

God damn. This is one of the sickest videos I’ve ever seen!

[JSkeletonNintendo]

No. Freaking. Way!!! You got John Petrucci in on this!? WOW!!!! That’s insane!!! What a killer video!!! 🤘🏻

[MikeY-st]

I've lost count of how many times ive seen this video, but im blown away each time, with a big smile on my face, thinking about two of my favorite guitarists/musicians of all time collabing like this...It brings me so much joy, and makes me think about what a wonderful place the world can be :)

[treyxaviermusic]

[Infinifry]

Holy shit Jules! I never expected John Petrucci to be in one of your vids! watching this channel grow over the years has been a wild ride, thanks for letting us be a part of it

[gamefreak]

As a long time Dream Theater fan, I am pretty appreciative of this collaboration.

[JuliaHenderson]

Jules, you just look so so happy throughout this whole thing. Love you guys <3

[Altamyr]

Just a fucking unfathomable amount of hype on camera right now
Congratulations, Jules!! You worked so hard to succeed at music and this is absolutely a direct result of all your effort. I can't wait to see what else you do! 👌✨
