[MyOngaku]

super mario theme

[megablade12345]

were those subtle little bends intentional? they completed the sound in my opinion so props regardless of whether or not it was on purpose

[OliverMochmann]

@megablade12345 Well, not particularly planned, just a more or less unconscious part of my playing and trying to make some tones singing or sounding more lively (which can sometimes lead to slight intonation problems when playing a melody together with other instruments...) ...attentive observation - thanks!

[adunatio]

Realy awesome! Can't quit see wat you doing butt i will figeur it out!

[TheVlamBoy]

[ronald92420]

made my day :)

[m15vegeta]

...his face looks like he REALLY wants to sing along but he's afraid of the infamous youtube trolls....BACK TO THE DUNGEONS YOU FILTHY CREATURES...

[ReeferFxhK]

Hi Oliver, I love this cover and I'm trying my best at learning it from your tab! It'll be a while but I'm doing my best! xD Could you possibly help me with your Abadd9 chord on your tab? I'm unfamiliar with it. It looks to me like 4-6-8-5-4-4 Thanks if you can help! - Gee

[OliverMochmann]

@ReeferFxhK Hi Gee! You're right - it's like a normal Ab (major) chord plus a Bb (added 9th) on the D-string instead of the Ab. Ab9 would mean Ab7/9 - Ab add9 is plain Ab major plus a 9th (Bb) and without the 7th. I love 9th chords, but you can play a straight Ab chord as well. Good luck!

[ToryToryDor]

AWESOME Arrangement! May I know the Brand &/or Model Of the MIC please? AWESOME sound quality!

[OliverMochmann]

@ToryToryDor Thanks a lot! The mic is an AudioTechnica 4035 - not available anymore. But it's 99% the guitar + fingers, that make the sound. I use either two of the ATs or one plus the internal fishman prefix pu/mic blender system.

[ToryToryDor]

@OliverMochmann I see, Thanks alot for the Fast Reply, Awesome Cover, I'm thinking of getting a Blue Yeti xD But well I'm far from your level xP, really inspired me Thanks alot :D! & HAPPY NEW YEAR ;D!

[barieboy4]

fuck dude, ure amizing! i like the way youre doing that.. i gonna play guitar in 2012.. i hope i can be ever so good like ya! btw: sorry, my english realy sucks :)

[IamTheDRHorrible]

This is amazing! 

[dianejazlyn]

you TRANSCRIBED THAT?.. of course you did, you're OLIVER. O-Li-Ver.

Hi, Oliver. do have any advice on what song i should start with when i start transcribing i can't quite point out what song is easieat to transcribe . THANKS (:

[OliverMochmann]

@dianejazlyn Haha, thanks! Well, the easiest song/solo to transcribe is probably the one you like most ;-) ok, ok, the easiest ones of those...

I don't know your skills and what your heart beats for. But don't think to much, just

||: start, try, fail, succeed :||

O-Li-Ver :-)

[R0ryMyst3r]

so smooth!! not many guitarists give me shivers when playing (Only Andy Mckee) but you must of took the time out to learn this nice work!

[ulykpain]

Pause at 1:50

[SamierAminTuned]

~Unreal bro nice work:)

[wolf9013]

i used to be able to play this...... then i took an arrow to the knee.

[Just1Spark]

ahh yes. THIS is the one i was looking for. :)

[Stratosphr]

Oliver you are the best.

[JAMPAKT123]

mate this is genius, i need to get back into guitar .. any tips on how to get learning this song.

[tjtash]

love it! ... btw, I love your facial expressions!! Keep it up !! :)

[tj67524]

Good Job! Keep it up dude!

[TheLastGuyStanding00]

Day 243...Food and water are running low, fingers are beginning to fall off. I haven't showered in weeks, nor seen a hint of the sun in months.

And I've only learned the intro so far.

[smileyxhappy]

nice.. oliver my new inspiration



[WoDern]

Excellent man, and thank you for tabs!

You rock! ;D

[TheBeauty1313]

woah. only word to describe it. your amazing.

[robinfr93]

can u jst tell me which tuning its in??

I can take care of the rest..

btw awesome cover!!

:D

[OliverMochmann]

@robinfr93 Standard tuning e-a-d-g-b-e ...thanks!

[Theandrebuntoro]

can you make the video of the lesson of this cover? please...

[33ToastedToast77]

that was all TAB??!! omg were learning that in school and we just started tab... were only playin stuff like 1000000000000000 times easier than this this is amazing!!!

[OliverMochmann]

@33ToastedToast77 Thanks!! Well, I took it by ear from the original, but I wrote some tabs for it (see description for URL) - though probably unplayable for most players ;-)

I really want to encourage everyone to learn to listen and transcribe to notes and chord symbols as well. Tabs are helpful, but very limited - though great for getting an idea of how something is played and to have some fun more quickly - well, "quickly" unlikely here of course... ;-)

[antonioponceful]

I supposed to be doing assigments but I rather listen this :D

[bheiqoe]

nice !!



[TheRESTLESSFAITH]

O.O be my teacher !!!

[c3adswaqq]
