Rainbow Road on Guitar

[vgbjason]

You remind me of why I love games, music, and game music. Keep it up!

[LuminousOlive]

Tazmanian devil!

[PkmnMaster1992]

one my favorite songs on your channel! by far the best mario song in my opinion

[cheeseisgood345]

This is beautiful. 'Nuff said.

[AdventTJ]

Gold.. just pure gold. Do you take requests?

[CSGuitar89]

@AdventTJ Wow, thanks :) I'm terribly sorry but at the moment I don't really take requests... It's not at all that I don't want to but I've been receiving so many suggestions lately that I can't even do a small amount of them. However, I do really appreciate it if people take the time to recommend songs and I definitely keep track of the ones that have been suggested the most ;) Thanks for understanding!

[haydos271]

My favourite video-game track made epic. I love you man, homo or no homo, I don't care. This put tears to my eyes with both the nostalgia and epicness.

[Peluca916]

Play the Metroid Prime themes. Those are sick.

[addamhumphrey]

whats the latest pod amp sim

[nerdrage562]

How can someone dislike this?? bha... GJ man :)

[martijno1234]

Hey is it ok if I use your music in one of my vids ? I will give you credits in the description ! :) Love your music ^^

[CSGuitar89]

@martijno1234 No problem! Thanks in advance for giving me credit ;)

[lsbgamer]

that was EPIC!!! can i get tabs bro?

[CSGuitar89]

@lsbgamer A link to the tabs is in the description or you can visit my website, CSGuitar89. com directly ;)

[TurtlePoof]

if i died, and there was a car ride that was going to drive me to heaven, i would blast this song the whole way!!!

[SkittleE275]

It's a road where you go...

[karin131415]

NICE!! I would like to touch the ending of Super Mario 64 you think you can?

[mrjangles1]

By the way, thumbs up for those of you who also wasted a good chunk of your childhood running around rainbow road.

[mrjangles1]

I'm speechless.

[IpLayA7xndBFMV]

I'm currently working on a video response to this but I can't figure out why all of a sudden while using Picture in Picture (I'm using Pinnacle Studio 11 to edit) at around 0:50 into the song, my video and audio just don't want to sync. Would you happen to know possible reasons why this would be happening?

[CSGuitar89]

@IpLayA7xndBFMV Hey! Sorry, I've never worked with Pinnacle to be honest... Maybe someone on here can help you.

[ShinraDream]

Wow, I've heard a lot of remixes like these from various people, Virt being one of my favorites. However this is one of the best remixes I've ever heard really. Have you heard of Virt or Dwelling Of Duels? They'd love to have you submit your remixes I bet!

[CSGuitar89]

@ShinraDream Thanks a lot, I'm really glad you like what I do! I am familiar with Dwelling of Duels but to be honest I didn't know Virt's work. I've just checked it out though and his stuff sounds amazing. I think DoD is an awesome initiative, however, I'm not really in it for the competitive part so it's probably not for me...

[texanmarauder]

just out of curiousity, have you considered doing a cover of the original super mario kart rainbow road?

[LivetysWiretys]

kickass!

[SkittleE275]

We NEED Double Dash's version now! :D

[CantFearWontFear]

Amazing.! Perfect angles and music. so much nostalgia. great vid!

[bonestorm99]

This is a beautiful cover, but I would have liked it better if the lead guitar did more bends to pitch.

[TheSaiyanVampire92]

8 people never played mario kart.

[tarko242]

this made me subscribe to you. awesome cover and keep up the great work!

[MasterJJ2754]

Glad i still have my nintendo 64...you make the best covers btw, keep up the awesome job

[LightningHexagon]

Is that the Tasmanian devil?

[LyS0lAr0uND]

Hey Casper, is it okay if I start posting some covers of your videos sometime soon? If so, I'll give credit where credit is due! I love all of your videos, and I have Hymns of Light and Shadows on repeat, every day! I love your work, keep it up!

[CSGuitar89]

@LyS0lAr0uND Hey! Yeah sure, no problem. If you want you may also post your covers as video responses. It might just help you to get a bit more views. Good luck!

[IpLayA7xndBFMV]

@CSGuitar89 Hey Casper! For some reason my video for the Zelda Market theme is not showing up in my list for a video response. Any thoughts on why that is?

[CSGuitar89]

@IpLayA7xndBFMV Hey man! I had to accept it first but I'm a little behind on my comments and messages so it took me a while, sorry about that ;) It should show up now though. Great playing by the way and thanks for giving me credit!

[IpLayA7xndBFMV]

@CSGuitar89 Thanks a lot man!!! I give credit where and when it is needed. I'll probably post another one for Rainbow road sooner rather than later

[tonylaf123]

Best cover out there. I mean it. You play the real notes in the harmony, right notes in the bass, everything is PERFECT. Not one mistake.

[Christian0405roblox]

dude this is just pure epicness

[KatKawa87]

Anyone else remember the massive shortcut at the beginning of the course for the N64? If you managed to pull it off, you skipped half of the track.

[anikid0392]

F-Zero X

[RandomLords]

man, it sounds like this song is being played by gods!

[Christian0405roblox]

MK 7 mute+ this= epicness

[DQ32]

Ahhh GarageBand. :)

[M374LL1C4RULZ]

Casper why do you never use your SG in your covers anymore? It has such a nice tone (Especially when harmonizing) :)

[CSGuitar89]

@M374LL1C4RULZ Well, I have used the SG in some of my recent covers I believe but more for some additional parts than leads... I don't really know why I don't use it very often though since it's an amazing instrument but I just really like the lead tone that my Cort produces :)

[LivetysWiretys]

@M374LL1C4RULZ yea melodic guitar sounds kick ass!

[addamhumphrey]

whats the amp sim. your using

[CSGuitar89]

@addamhumphrey I'm using Line 6' POD Farm for all my electric guitar and bass tones.

[addamhumphrey]

@CSGuitar89 how do you obtain one of these

[CSGuitar89]

@addamhumphrey You can either download the plugin from Line 6' website or you can get a device like the GX, UX1 or UX2 that come with POD Farm.

[ShitSoda]

what drums are you using?

[CSGuitar89]

@ShitSoda For the drums I use EZdrummer (standard kit) from Toontrack.

[ShitSoda]

@CSGuitar89 thank you, and keep up the great work

[MonoMilitiaMusic]

8 people are mad because they sold thier N64 and can't go play mario cart

[drumgroovemusic]

lol, gotta love typos *this IS amazing

[drumgroovemusic]

this amazing! is it possible to get a copy of the mp3 without the drums? i'd love to do a drum cover of this for my channel

[CSGuitar89]

@drumgroovemusic Thanks! No problem at all, just send me a message with your e-mail address or send an e-mail to info@csguitar89. com and I'll make sure you get the song without the drum track.

[Lordhotshot]

This is my favourite song from you :), you are really good at bringing the memories from old games back to life. Please continue to revive the music from the past!

[cookervillpop101]

[FlyKaiCanNeverDeny]

[SkittleE275]

Do a RR Double Dash cover!

[TheMaryam23]

[ImEverythingYouCrave]

I hate those Chain Chomps on the track

[zemajoad]

Greetings! all your videos are great! thank you very much for sharing your music and your talent with us! You are amazing!!!

[MrRaul042599]

I love how your hands are so relaxed in this song.

[SuperSpaceMaster]

Check out the Rainbow Road theme from F-Zero X.

[BBZak2049]

Nice job dude, I love it. :)

[bubbaboyize]

Epic!

[mrJBKfilms]

What kind of effects pedal are you using?

[CSGuitar89]

@mrJBKfilms I'm using various effects on both the rhythm and lead guitars although they're not real, physical effects pedals, but rather plugins that come with the amp simulation software that I use. For this cover I used some compression, reverb, delay and a bit of chorus.

[2ploo]

epic! now do through the fire and flames by dragonforce! lol

[pezilla123]

@2ploo that song has no skill and is really gay get the fuck out.

[bubbaboyize]

@pezilla123 Dont Gi Hatein

[bubbaboyize]

@bubbaboyize Go*

[megashadow1390]

now THIS is the pure epitome of EPICNESS

[mrJBKfilms]

This is extremely amazing! I have to listen to this at least 3 times a day!

[HAYDS510]

you got some real wicked guitar skills dude. if i would make 1 suggestion.. i'm guessing you're very much a guitarist, and the guitar riffs are spot on.. but the bass guitar in your work is allways playing really really simple riffs, as if to support the guitar in the most basic sense.. be a bit more creative with it and dont undervalue the bass's range ;) everything is really tight though man, i only say this because it seems like it would be hard to find things to improve on at your level.

[HAYDS510]

@HAYDS510 let me change that, in this instance it's simple, i didnt look at all the other videos :)

[CSGuitar89]

@HAYDS510 Thanks a lot for your constructive criticism, it's much appreciated and there's always room for improvement! It's something that I also noted and I always find it difficult to find a good balance between a tight rhythm section and interesting bass parts. However in my last few videos I tried to make the bass parts to stand out a little more and so I really hope I succeeded :)

[Smidgeon16]

I love the Animal plushie ^^

[drtran227]

Who else was mad when this rainbow road song wasn't in Mario Kart Wii?

[NintendoEpic]

Truly Amazing!

[SilverHeart38]

OMG! This song sound like heaven to my ears! Woah!! totally awesome cover. Will be listened to for years to come! Keep up the great job!

[NinjaBeatle]

So this is why rainbows make scout cry.....

He has epic nostalgic memories from his childhood.

[ziggy2007dn]

So epic :D

[WhatsGoodBWood]

You're a god!!!!!! I'm gonna start my own religion based off of you!!

[gta4rulesass]

sounds like something that would be playing in that futuristic crystal cave place from bill and ted doesn't it

[farawayfromlife95]

This brings back so many memorys with the Nintendo 64. I want it back Hum

[mbd303030]

THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE

[tennisplayer268]

[CODMarioWarfare]

I think you should do the Double Dash Rainbow Road!

I love that one!

[Rookworst88]

Very nice! :) Check out our version with a funny twist ;)

[MetalheadEchidna]

You and Familyjules7x do amazing covers of rainbow road, just gonna throw that out there :P

[bosszero]

[Chemowski]

[onemom4boys]

[insecureflaky]

Oh the memories...

[solidmario64]

How can I download the songs on your website?

[CSGuitar89]

@solidmario64 You can download the tunes by right-clicking the song you want and selecting something as 'Save As'. It varies from browser to browser though.

[foofulus]

@CSGuitar89 hey i have been thinking of taking up guitar. i have a six string and i wanted to try and learn the lead guitar part in one of your songs. any suggestions for a good beginner one?

[EggplantOfTime]

@foofulus I'd say Ballad of the WindFish looks easy enough

[CSGuitar89]

@foofulus Great to hear you've picked up the guitar! Ballad of the Wind Fish isn't too hard indeed. You can also try Song of Healing, Zelda's Lullaby or Midna's Lament. Pretty much all the more mellow Zelda songs are very good songs to start with.

[foofulus]

@CSGuitar89 thanks! but small problem... the way you have your tabs and stuff setup on your site are setup in a way that i have never seen :P

[CSGuitar89]

@foofulus Hmm, sorry to hear that but I think the way I wrote the tabs is probably one of the most common ways actually. Nevertheless, with all the different parts I understand that it can be a little confusing... If you need any help with specific parts, just leave me a message,

[jacob0876]

@CSGuitar89 i agree with you on the first songs on beggining guitar, im taking a class for guitar, and i already know the song of healing. by the way, thank you for the tabs.

[Vonajex]

Epicly awesome video man.

[2583060]

I am only subbing cuz Chugga Conroy sent me here.

[runescapefory]

mario double dash... such memories makes me nostalgic

[abazooz16]

7 people fell off rainbow road

[Vonajex]

@abazooz16 No, I'm pretty sure anyone who's played Rainbow Road has fallen off it. :)

[MrMille123]

This should be the original.

[tupacshakur99]

Dont you love the good old 90`s

Damn time is flying

Oh yeah very nice playing man i love it

[Prod1gyX2009]

HOLY FUCK!!!! I Think I just shat myself when I heard this song.. WOW!!!

[blazingdude11]

I loved this song, this brings back great memories! Absolutely EPIC,good sir! This is awesome! XD

[SixStringGuitarist1]

That. Is. SICK. \m/

[sonicfan19941]

:35 - :48 the tasmanian devil from looney tunes is in the background. im glad there is still a fan out there besides my old dad. XD

[joselitovalle52]

hey can you not fade out the part where you finish just finish the song

[DanteStickWarrior]

Brings me back to my childhood.



[Left4meh]

I just shat bricks.

[supersonic71097]

@Left4meh Build a house! xD

[Left4meh]

@supersonic71097 Will do. :D

[jared5255]

what program do you use to edit the vids?

[CSGuitar89]

@jared5255 I use iMovie HD from Apple to edit all my videos.

[robloxian00]

I remember when I beat my older cousin at this track by... 6 milliseconds.

[Flagostomos]

This is my absolute favorite video game music of all time and I can't stop watching your cover. Rock on dude!

[codydjt9]

Ahh, brings back the good old days of playing this on the n64 all day :)

[dfey2008]

amazing!!!

[jofannnn]

Awesome job. Spot on with all bends and vibrato.

[mariomendoza706]

Wow. Just by hearing this it brings back all the memories I had with this game and games like Zelda from your other covers. Your abilities and talent is an example of what inspires other musicians, like me, to keep doing what we love. Amazing job man.

[R0cks4Brainz]

dat nastolgia

[TiNKERhq]

3:14 you didn't have to stop........

[guitarsaitek]

can you play kalimari desert? :D

[ForbidonFruit]

Memories :D

[senz20]

Your skills make Chuck Norris jealous!

[saibertempist]

Hey @CSGuitar89 d oyou have perfect pitch, just wandering?

[CSGuitar89]

@saibertempist Hey! Unfortunately I do not have perfect pitch, but I find that when time progresses and I learn more about scales and theory, it gets a lot easier to figure out these tunes :)
