  • Yeaaaa man, great left hand!

  • O_O woow... beautifully played. All i can say.. great job!!!

  • It is indeed a double rainbow across the stratosphere, and it is quite enthralling.

  • You play very well, but my ear never lies, the treble end sounds off key. It may be that its not a 480p vid (which is when sound quality starts to matter to youtube, check out some music which has 360p, 480p, and 720p, the sound gets SOOOOO much better)

  • Sudden urge to play Mario Kart

  • Omg it's a full rainbow, so...intense!!!

    OMG IT'S SO....PERFECT :')

  • I swear i could see all the seven rainbow colors shining around me and in my eyes when i listened to your interpretaition of this song....amazingly beautiful!

  • 8 people want the sheet music REEEEEAAALLLYY badly

  • i just realized rainbow road is a remix of the super mario land :O

  • @msupermario7

    Super Mario Land for the gameboy sucks they didnt even make there own music

    really koopas that explode and when you grab a star it plays the can can thats probably the worst mario game ever.

    really good Playing Im releasing a super mario world medley soon...

  • Can you record a midi and post it somewhere?

  • Comment removed

  • The Wii's Rainbow Road song is crap in comparison of this

  • oh god, i remember turning on my mario kart 64 JUST to hear this song...brings back so much memories ._.

  • Awesome! Really good medley :3 By the way... Spoony Bards? XD FF reference right? :3 xD

  • Ohhhh its rainbow road, its rainbow road, wheen you diiee its rainbow road!

  • dude i would pay you to use software to make sheet music this medly is way sick

  • the 64 theme is so nostalgic

  • How many years did you study?

    Answer please

  • This was impressive. Like.

  • Damn this is amazingly amazing =)

  • Can you make the tutorial? :DD

  • awesome :)

  • Just curiosity how many takes did it take you do this, and how love have you been playing?

    I play by ear too, but piano is my second instrument so obviously it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. lol

  • @Palakto i think this song only took one or two takes. it's a song i play pretty often with my band, so my fingers have sort of memorized it. i've been playing for about nineteen or twenty years now i think? since i was five or six.

  • @AndrewPlaysPiano CLIPS OF YOUR BAND PLAYING THIS, NOW!!!!

  • ´Great Job!!

  • somewhere,

    over the rainbowroad

  • :[] :O BRAVO!!!

  • This is so awesome! I want the mp3!

  • hee! i loved the little 'somewhere over the rainbow' quote in the very middle <3

  • @ancientsound that just kind of happened one day while i was playing around! haha, but i liked it and kept it in there! thanks for listening!

  • Great fingering!

  • @Welytomm That's what she tells me

  • @AndrewPlaysPiano Haha oooooooh, nice.

  • You should make this on itunes or something i can download this because when ever i get mad or sad i listen to this! When I listen to this waves of nostalgia wash over me endlessly. All the good times as a kid..... Love this song again find some way for me to download. Love the song!

  • aww. I only played the SNES mario kart. good job though. it sounds so nice

  • The Spoony Bards?

  • that'll do pig that'll do

  • awesome***

  • well done man very good

  • *Sniff* amasing

  • these songs just make me so happy :)

  • this song makes me feel so happy inside! Sometimes I come on youtube just to listen to it when I feel down.

  • amazing clarity.

  • If i could request a song cover, it would be Eight Melodies from the Mother/Earthbound series.

  • they did cover it for brawl but they didnt put it in

  • @tgeorge Eight Melodies is in brawl. it's in the "Bein' Friends" track from Mother.

  • @AndrewPlaysPiano

    yes but they also had a track acctually called eight melodies that wasnt put in and was put on the lost tracks cd

  • i know you don't have sheet music, but can you try to make some? i am bad at piano, but my dad can. i want to get him more interested in video games, or at least video game music.

  • How did you learn how to play by ear? I really want to learn how!

  • I didn't hear the SNES Rainbow Road theme in there.

  • it's not Rainbow Road from SNES that's in there, it's the original SNES Super Mario Kart theme song.

  • @AndrewPlaysPiano actually, its from the N64 game Super Mario Kart. perhaps that was what you meant. Great job by the way.

  • he hid some additional songs in there

  • Yeah I know, but the title says "Rainbow Road Medley", which would make people think that it would contain every version of the Rainbow Road theme in the Mario Kart series. I know the SNES Rainbow Road theme very well, and the description for this video claims that it's in there as well, but I never heard it at any point.

  • oh, well, sorry for the misunderstanding then. though the description actually does say "This is both the N64 and the Gamecube versions of the song, along with the theme of the original Mario Kart SNES". as in, the theme song of the original SNES game.

  • dont be so harsh he did an amazing job and put a lot of hard work into it

  • just beatiful ':D

  • Somewhere Over the Rainbow Road...

  • Ahhhh !!!!!!! :DDDDDD

  • LOL i love the beginning countdown..... I play mario kart.... RAINBOW ROAD IS AN EPIC LVL!!!! c sumone play that theme to it..... THANKS!!! you made my day!!!! and I hav to agree with ScaryIndeed, it does make u feel sumhow happy... lol

  • Crying on the inside right now

  • wow, wonderful played man!!!!

  • Wo. It only took a few seconds for me to love it.

  • You did very well!

  • :') good times

  • wow!very great! i play it with the electric piano,but that doesn´t sounds so good like your.

  • Insane! :D

  • i liked the 3, 2, 1, Go! Part

  • beautiful =D

  • can you play "Imagine" by John Lennon?

  • LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! Love wat you did with the song!!

  • this is undoubtedly the best rainbow road performance on youtube T.T.

  • ahhh....nostalgia....

    its official. andrewplayspiano just made me cry=]

  • Absolutely beautiful. You really did Rainbow Road justice in this medley. Thanks for making me remember the good ol' days with this piece.

  • i love the rainbow road so much <3 i would love if they made a rainbow cup in the next mario kart featuring the 4 first mario kart rainbow roads then in the next game the next 4 and so on <3

  • omg i had that same idea but with all rainbow roads, not just 4 :o

  • Magnificent. So Elegantly played!! This is so good!

  • thats insane.

  • i need to find some sheet music and play it on the organ like it should be played :)

  • Was that a snippet of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in there? Nice touch.

  • This is soothing :D

    uh oh....nostalgia overload lol

  • AH! So cool, I liked that song (:

  • This sounds really nice on piano. Cool. Nice job dude

  • Yeah! that was a very good job, and also it was so perfectly played, i don´t listen any fail, excelent man! 5*

  • wow awesome O_o

  • can you put the mp3 in the description?

  • im downloading it now, its availiable on rg.ucoz . ©0m

  • *sniff* *sniff* this is, *sniff* JUST BEUTIFUL!! (Starts crying)

  • I dont get how in the holy mother of fuck one can do such a song by ear....

  • You come up with a skelenton first. You generally don't learn chords first, you learn single notes. Then you add chords because the chord is the same key as the note.

  • i know i was just expressing how kickass his playing was

  • it really sounds like racing in space. *sniff*

  • This is awesome...I'm sure a lot of people would absolutely love to see you make a tutorial video on the basics of this tune (myself included!)

  • This is amazing! Loved this song on the game, and you did it very well, sounds especially good on a real piano, and not a keyboard. :)

  • tutorial please?

  • Oragasmic song this is =)

    I am making a instrumental remix on my PC using Sonar.

  • thanks! Sonar is a GREAT program, i used to use it myself.

  • tutorial please?

  • Very good...=)

  • I love this! You did very well on this and I had tears coming from my eyes just listening to it because it sounds so good, and like one user said, this could fit a Mario Kart Credits theme. :)

  • it sounds kinda sad but i felt a tear from my eye at 00:48 - 00:57 as a wave of nostalgia just smacked me in the face xD

    very well played, congratulations. favourited and subscribed.

  • I like it :D

    By the way, Spoony Bards, great band name xD

  • This reminds me of the good old days...... I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • same here, good old 'childhood' days...

    things were soo simple back then..

    always still wishing to repeat those days again..

    adult working-world can be so damn boring & 'dry' sometimes, stuck in an office-cubicle lol :D

  • Makes me feel nostalgic...

  • cool!

  • Sounds like it would fit a Mario Kart Credits theme.

  • Amazing, great job on this.

  • Hi,

    What was the chords of the 3,2,1 part?

    Thanks,Moodz2.

  • Not sure but,

    Right Hand:

    D D D G

    G G G G

    Left Hand:

    G G G G

    D D D D

    G G G

    Which G and which D each one is should be obvious from the video ;)

  • Thanks:)

  • The chords I use for the 3,2,1 countdown are simply G G G G with both hands playing G then the 5th, D and then the octave G, above. so the 1's and 5's.

    The last G chord is simply two octaves higher. Hope you find this useful!

    Thanks so much

  • i think i'm gonna cry xD that was amazing dude

  • could you send me the notes to tht please mate

  • by ear rules. awesome man.

  • Wonderful ! You're the best !

  • THAT WAS FUCKING PERFECT. Best on YT, best ever. I liked it even more than the original one. 5 stars and faved.

  • wow vraiment tu es trop bon

  • "Plumbtasic"!!!- jm764 :D i wish i could play like that again... :( oh well...

  • Amazing! I've played piano for almost 10 years but I absolutely can't play songs by ear. Do you have any tips? ^_^

  • there is no better way to learn to play by ear than.. to start playing by ear!

    just take a simple melody and try to find the right notes on your instrument.. repeat.. when you can find the melody the next step is to find the chords (or more simple the bass notes). You can hear them too if you just try.

  • You can also build up chords after you find the bass notes.. this might be the easiest way if you dont have the knowledge of music theory (f. ex. I know the most common orders of chords used in like all songs)

  • truthfully, people say only certain people can play by ear, but thats not true at all! I was just given the ability to play by ear, but you can learn by listening to a song you want to learn a lot... and slowly go through it by pausing the song every 5 seconds and getting it down! Narriz knows what he's talking about so listen to him lol =P

  • 1 thing that can help you practice is to press random keys on an in-tune piano without loking and try to gess what note it is. and the myth that only some peple can play by ear is totaly not true it can take a while but just keep trying and you'll get it. another thing peple will do is use the first note of asong you know well as a reference. it's easier to explain with an example: I, a nintendo nerd, think of the first note of the Song of Time whenever I hear an A note.

  • same here, except i can almost figure out how to play a song by listing to it for a long time... a lot!!! that's my advice!

  • 2nd part is amazing - impressive piano playing there, incredibly smooth playing - superb.

  • Ooh, I like how its faster paced then it's original form, It makes me energetic. :D

  • Haha wow that's really nice!

  • Great job man! Your medleys are just the pure essence of the song. It's just so great to hear songs like these.

  • amazing work!

  • AWESOME.. !!!

    You're a very good pianist

    How many hours do you play a day?

    Very cool!..

  • I love Rainbow Road!!!!!!!!!!!

  • me too! hope you liked it!

  • I did!

    Maybe you noticed that Rainbow Road from MK64 and MKDD are very similar.

  • "Liked it?" I love it!!

  • Wow. Wow. This is really, really amazing. I play some nintendo music too, you can check my profile out if you want, but this blows anything I've done way out of the water. Truly amazing, excellent work.

  • jesus christ your great at the piano. keep up the good work

  • Jesus IS a decent pianist : )

    Glad you like it!
