That was awesome!!!!

[nintendoman647]

[EricVierthaler92]

[inechiSAN]

[aclose]

Lovely, you got the bassline perfect. The transcription i have misses a few notes.

[dreamcatcher093]

[Dezziscool89]

[groovintomusic]

[1andrewman1]

this totaly take me back to my megadrive days

[MMBADBOI]

I NEED TO LEARN TO PLAY LIKE THIS btw ur awesome

[ALE3000GT]

Beatifull song. very good.

[SamusAbe]

this sounds great I think the pacing of the tempo is fine

[matthatter56]

The begging of this music always sounded to me like Han's and Leia's theme from Empire Strikes Back. Just the very begging. Is it just me or does anyone else think it to.

[OrinokawaMizuki]

Personally, it reminded me of the Moonlighting TV series' theme song, which is a romantic song.

Star Light Zone and its theme supposed to be romantic stuff, couple stuff.

If Amy and Sonic was ever in this zone at the same time. Sonic better hope those speed shoes can outrun her.

They haven't officially released a lyrical song of this melody, just Dreams Come True's version that is slower, more jazzy, less cheerful, and lower pitch.

[CNS2776]

lindo!

[zckls04]

This is great, but you should give it a try with a metronome- you're not quite in time. Eg the fourth note you play with your right hand should be held for a full 3 and a half beats; you're rushing into the next section a bit quick.

[sonicfan23]

Not looking to be perfect lol but thanks for the advice =]

[michiruvampi69]

@sonicfan23 its perfect :D i enjoyed it

[Sprinkles12345]

this is AWESOME!

i love how you added the bass in too :D

[sonicfan23]

thanks :]

[wickdaman]

For some reason, your sound setup reminds me of Mario on SNES! Haha! I love this song, it's one of (if not, the best) song on Sonic 1 :).

GOOD JOB!

[Ahmidsviper]

i saw many videos of guys playing this song, this is the best i saw

[RyanakaRhino18]

awesome =]

[Gameblack90]

that sounded pretty nice... mrtamsula iz a hater dont pay him any mind

[Guillebag66]

The era of 16 bits that good memories :D Sega+Sonic+Soda= Relax

Excellent work man!!

[checkthataccount]

hahaha ! =P

Sega+Sonic+Soda= Relax

what a combo =D

[paulocca]

man... you play verry nice

best version on piano..

^^

sorry my english ^^''

[Removes]

What the hell are you even on about, mrtamsula? You probably have no talents other than being a king douche on youtube because you're jealous of other people. I don't see any other reason you would specifically click a Sonic 1 link titled as it is then proceed to bash the person playing it. Absolutely retarded, this video is 5 stars.

[tact06]

its sooo soothing ^~^

[whispy]

great run thru! love the song

[sonicfan23]

thank you!

[sonicmaster110022]

@sonicfan23 yeah! You're so calm and I don't like it when people get to loud. I love it!

[VoiceOfThePlains]

Man you are pathetic, mrtamsula.

[martoksneghvar]

what are the keyboard letters you use could you please send me the key notes like a c f e c etc as i would like to practice this

[Kallypso018]

WOW good job

[mrtamsula]

that was excellent, but please dont take offense when i say you have no life.

[sybnios]

ahh pathetic people. Why he has no life? How do you describe life? Do you represent the term for life for all the people.

[mrtamsula]

well he most likely spent alot of time trying to do this perfectly, but all he is getting is a couple of comments that say good job!. he is not making any money. he is not being looked at by record companies. what reason would someone have for doing this. playing video games is a big waste of time, but copying the music from the game and playing on a piano is a major waste of time!

[sybnios]

well as i said before your comment about who is wasting time in his life thank god is not determined by you! If you had the ability to play videogames you will find that is something that will give you not anything material as you said, record companies.. gaining money is just too shallow but possibly you are too shallow. Being an artist is not equal with gaining money is what you do because it comes from the heart and you do it no matter what with dedication! That is what matters!

[sonicfan23]

it's just not what you like to do man get over it lol. i didnt think this star light zone video would make your life so angry but i thinki it's funny

[RivekTheFallen]

Your comments here lay out the true reason why you will never accomplish anything of importance, mrtamsula.

Nobody ever enriched their life by shunning music because it's "a waste of time".

I pity you.

[handofstand]

Haven't you ever done something just because you wanted to, Mr. Business Man?

[Megastaw]

How could you not take offense to that you idiot!

[mrtamsula]

oh sorry. this might work better. FUCK YOU!!!

[sonicfan23]

i dont get it why are you being such a douchebag to me? lol

[1lindsay1111111]

what sound are you useing i no how to play it but dont have the right sound

[Guillebag66]

Amazing! that memories! : ´D thanks! Greetings from Argentina.

[Guillebag66]

Asombroso!!!!!!!! que recuerdos! :´D

gracias!!!

Saludos desde Argentina.

[Curmudgeon420]

you can hardly hear the bass... but very good :)

[sonicfan23]

i hear it fine lol.

[sTriKeR501K]

i hear the bass as well, must be your speakers.

[Guillebag66]

jajaj brilliant! it is my favorite song of Sonic 1 Thanks for the video, enchants to me.

[Metaru100]

Wow, I learned this song before I knew about your videos, and you play it the exact same way I do. I looked at the keys you were hitting, and it's all the same! Creepy...

[sonicfan23]

Well I learned it by ear so that's probably why :)

[Tixxy4you]

Wow John, Your so good. Just the fact you can play most if not all of this stuff by ear.

[sonicxtreme78]

i was wrong about this song being my 2nd favorite: THIS IS MY #1 FAVORITE SONG!!! BETTER THAN GREEN HILL!!!

[sonicfan23]

lol eh idk about that.

[sonicxtreme78]

My favorite part is between 0:44 and

0:58 MUST LISTEN!!!!

[sonicfan23]

haha when i watch it i sun myself :P

[FabioNunes777]

Very nice!

Record it with piano sound in the whole keyboard.

It´ll got to be so much better i believe.

[sonicxtreme78]

this is my favovorite song after greenhill zone

[frybend]

great job man

[ruddy564]

HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!

The timings are completely different, how did you make your brain control your hands at different times?!

You are a genius my friend.

[sonicfan23]

lol dude i amaze myself sometimes :P

[icy201]

kool!! i love it

[cheegum]

BEST RENDITION EVER!

[leolava]

Wooow love it

[gremhiilzoone]

Really impressive job!!! YOu rock man, I love this theme, love my childhood!

[mamaustroso]

wow dude this is amazing man i love this song its my favorite from the whole game and well now i wanna learn it

[savageboygettem]

you are a god!!!! lol you played it perfected im inspired to learn this hopefully it will be before im 30

[6johansenad]

if i watched you play this slowly i could make some sheet music. could you make a slower video where i can see where your hands are? i really want to learn this.

[checkerz0105]

freaking awesome

[dtb2111]

dude nice keyboard sound and you played the song very well...lol for some reason i hear like a pulse like a bass sound keeping tempo eh...anyway did you learn this from music or by ear?

[sonicfan23]

by ear :) thanks

[tnpan]

What I do is I tab with guitar, I transcribe it to piano. I can't worry about bass cleff on piano I have no control in my left hand, because I am a lefty guitarist, so all fretting skills are on my right hand.

[thefalloforange]

Nice, this is one of my favorite songs from a video game. I used to pause the game when I got to this level, just to listen to the music for a while.

[sonicfan23]

haha yeah it's a good song, but on this game when you paused the music stopped playing :P

[thefalloforange]

Hmmm maybe I just stood there then, I haven't played the original sonic on genesis since the 90s so I don't remember lol.

[sonicfan23]

lol oh ok

[handofstand]

sound test

[Thisisace]

Me too.

[Locke1620]

Glad to see someone can keep the tempo correct. Everyone seems to rush the faster part and it sounds horrible.

I was trying to puzzle out a part of this on my own keyboard and this really helped. Thanks!

[sonicfan23]

thank you, and I'm glad I could help :)

[SGTFAULK]

WOW!!!

[dal19844]

good now i wanna learn how to do that hey do me a favor and play green hill zone

[sonicfan23]

I already have a green hill zone video...

[killamay007]

that means it's good

[handofstand]

Then I misunderstood you. Sorry about that.

I never expected that the word "kill" would be given a positive connotation in slang because of what the word means (by no means an affront to you).

[killamay007]

this dude killin that shit

[sonicfan23]

im not sure if thats an insult or compliment lol

[handofstand]

He/she did not mean it as a compliment, but because she/he was not hearing it like they were accustomed to (i.e. from game, MIDI or MP3 file), and so it *sounded* inferior to them.

Excellent work, nothing sounds wrong outright, but since it is not played by a computer, the differences are either insignificant or meaningless. But that is music, right?

I loved it (your rendition)!

[sonicfan23]

thanks!

[spearsmanofthegale]

awesome, dude. i've always loved the music and loved your rendition. bassline correct, tempo correct... very smooth. keep posting

[sonicfan23]

thanks :) check out some of my other videos!

[XrisSmiles]

i PRAISE the version, u are the 1st one to get the baseline correct.

i will be posting my version soon, ill send u the link when im done. i hope u will like it.

[sonicfan23]

thanks! ill definately watch it.

And yeah, I try with my videos to not be so typical by making my versions differ from others.

[timeshifterb]

heh i love the music from the sonic the hedgehog

[Rentalgreenspy]

Definitely one of my favorite sonic tracks, great job on this rendition.

[djrive]

excellent, on of the best sonic music tracks

[cleomagoolando]

You're playing well, but rushing a bit in spots where you need to rest longer. Play it with a metronome more and you'll see what I mean. Otherwise, very good job.

[sonicfan23]

lol ok

[firehawk887]

Good job dude. 5 Stars

[zipppaddlety3]

Don't listen to that dude

don't change it

that sounds like its directly from the game

[sonicfan23]

haha i agree :) thanks

[chemicalhaven]

Awh its so romantic :] I always loved this one

[TailsFiraga]

Nice job. You've inspired me to make a rendition of this song.

[crodo]

hi! i´m from brazil.

starlight is the best music of sonic 1.

good job!

[sonicfan23]

thanks

[Rael0505]

Your playing is good, but your rendition of the song is so simplistic. Why not look into Gori Fater's arrangement? All of his renditions are very complex and generally more fun to play than simpler ones (even if they can be very difficult)

Check it out at gamemusicthemes(dot)com , maybe you'll be interested ;)

Keep up the good work.

[sonicfan23]

i know what you mean but i like it the way i play it lol. thanks for your thoughts though

[BWXLC]

The best one yet!!

[sonicfan23]

really? maybe it's cuz it's very basic like the original haha

[ShadowOfZabuza]

good job

[JayFoxFire]

nice job dude 83

[sonicfan23]

thanks

[Sonicrulez11]

Woah, awesome.
