Sadly, I've taken the time to figure out and arrange the whole theme of the classic 8-bit Mario Bros for Nintendo. Recorded it with Leafdrums2.2, Cakewalk, guitars and bass. There's also another old NES tune tacked on the end; see if you can figure it out. No, it's not embelished with fancy sweeping or legatto runs. This is the real thing, dude. For all you video game nerds (you know you wanna hear it):

Hey, right on. I checked out their site. Those guys ROCK! I love their cover of Castlevania 3 and Megaman 2. They really manage to capture the feel of those vintage games. It didn't quite occur to me just how complex some of that 8-bit Nintendo music was until I heard their stuff. They almost always have 2 dual guitars playing at any given time. Very nice.
