Super Mario Bros cover song on guitar - performed by Mario! And then he FREAKS OUT!

It's a me, Mario! Haha, I dressed up as Mario for Halloween (much to my kids' and the others in the neighborhood's delight), and thought it would be fun to put the costume to more use. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed putting it together. :)

All of the video AND audio effects were done using Sony Vegas. The guitar tone for the Mario theme was originally a straight clean tone from my Peavey JSX amp, and I used Vegas to add the effects - in addition to adding a little reverb, chorus and delay, I used the software's pitch-shifter to duplicate the notes one octave down, and I also used the noise gate as somewhat of a limiter which makes the the notes on the high strings sound almost synth like. For the star power section, I also added some wah wah manually and then added flange/phase/delay/reverb with Vegas. As for the "freak out" section where I rock out, it's the Ultra channel on the JSX. For that solo, I of course used a wah pedal. Finally for the outro of the video where you hear the very low bass notes, that was again played on the guitar using Vegas's pitch-shifting effect to shift the notes down one octave, but in that section I cut out the normal notes so you only hear the lower octave.

@sblazado ... I basically learned from the Thierry Gomez version, although I play it a little differently. If you watch his version, he has a link to his website where he posted the tabs. Rock on!
