Nintendo Makes Bluegrass Music? - Zelda Fiddle Tunes

[@stevesirois3418]

Overheard at a recent bluegrass jam: "OK, boys, "Nyan Cat" in G. Let's keep it peppy. Y'all know what to do."

Hey Vgrass, Marcel Here.

Eli Gilbert Banjo 👏🏼

Glad to know I’m not the only one who broke their family’s NES by tripping over a cord, but have you ever broken up a jam by tripping over a chord?

^^^ Underrated Comment ^^^

Good highlighting of Miyamoto's bluegrass roots. I've been screaming that fact at everyone who would listen for the last handful of years! Also, I did Baby Shark (guitar player here), complete with the lack of resolution and B part, at our local jam once, and every few jams they ask me to do it again... I've only done it 'again' once... but the seed has been planted. Lol!

[@JosephWeinerE]

The other nyan cat tune is an Irish fiddle tune called the Finnish Polka and it does get played at sessions frequently as it was popularized by Kevin Burke of the Bothy Band

[@zachwaller933]

Just realised the stool up against the door at 08:47 haha I do the same to keep prying cats from ruining a recording

[@barrettludwig4677]

Love the Vsauce reference! Been watching your channel all morning you earned my sub good job

[@zachbaranskymusic2182]

07:03 “yea we totally do.” Lolol, preach

[@BlitzballMadness]

Wow, didn't know this stuff! Great video. It's awesome to see bluegrass/fiddle tunes where I wouldn't expect it.

[@blakejackson4483]

Would love to have a video explaining must know bluegrass terms for seasoned musicians just now falling in love with bluegrass!

[@Weeble_Warbles]

Your mic sounds great with headphones. It's like you're _in_ my head. Great vid as usual.

[@TheEknaian]

This video is awesome from start to finish, but the dude playing the electric violin, skateboarding around a bunch of kids is just hysterical. 😂😂

Thanks man. You just helped me confuse a lot of my friends.

[@uriahedwards]

So glad im not the only one who noticed this! If there’s any debate, I’d recommend listening to the Horse Race theme from Ocarina of Time. Furthermore, I’d recommend listening to the horse race mashup posted by SiIvagunner that’s around 11 minutes long. It really shows how fiddle tune-y some of our favorite Melodie’s are.

[@Composer19691]

The 8- bit video game font was a nice touch.

[@PaulMazzolapdm]

The title theme to the Wind Waker is a great fiddle tune.

[@itsCheezeh]

Paul Mazzola and it actually has some fiddle in it!

[@syntax2710]

This was too dope. Please keep making videos!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Did you know that September 13 is not only the birthday for Super Mario Brothers in Japan, but also for bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe (1911-1996)? We all know Shigeru Miyamoto loves bluegrass!

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

Not necessarily bluegrass, but sort of still related to this video. The over-world theme to Super Mario Bros 2 is straight up rag! It sounds like something Scott Joplin could write and you would hear on some saloon piano back in the 1900s!

I FEEL VINDICATED

[@jacoblivingston7387]

This video is awesome! I bet if you gave Nyan cat some fiddle tune name like "Cat's on the Rainbow" or "The Calico Reel" it would catch on. I've been trying to find old Japanese Shamisen songs that can be turned into fiddle tunes or bluegrass tunes. Check out the song called Bad Apples. Its Japanese but sure has a fiddle tune feel to it.

[@ryanstanford2333]

The v sauce reference was a nice touch

[@sunnysachdev5039]

more of this plz!

[@FailingStreetBridge]

I accidentally started playing Concerning Hobbits as a little riff when learning Red Haired Boy.

[@youarenotalion]

a lot of the Kirby nightmare in dreamland music fits the AABB pattern!

[@IAmZellixx]

Is that why A Child Born off of Tony Rice’s Backwaters always reminded me of a Zelda tune?? Or probably Zelda’s Lullaby is a spin-off of A Child Born. Check it out, you’ll hear it too, guarantee it.

[@logannday]

This content is excellent

[@ajk240]

Brilliant man

[@facelessmule]

What about fiddle tunes that sound like they should be video game music? There's one called 'Blind Man's Reel' that I've been playing recently that sounds like it would fit right in as backing to to Super Mario level!

[@JustinHollandFitness]

That Vsauce background music

[@willhide]

That Game Theory reference! Ha!

[@CamBoone]

This is awesome

[@FutureFolk]

Made my day.

[@FutureFolk]

totally doing a banjo version of these

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

Glad you're still playing our earthling music. I hear Hondo is nice this time of year.

[@rhyspowell7334]

Bubble bobble!!

[@ehripley]

So you mentioned in one old video, meaning to do a Jerry garcia song😏

[@ehripley]

I'm sorry not in a video, it was in an article on your website

[@iloverumi]

Check out the band The Hit Points asap You will not regret it

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

Ooooo, good call!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I wonder how this kind of music could be done using the five essential bluegrass instruments, as defined by Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys circa 1945: 1. Mandolin (by Bill Monroe) 2. Acoustic guitar (by Lester Flatt) 3. Banjo (by Earl Scruggs) 4. Upright bass (by Cedric Rainwater) 5. Fiddle (by Robert "Chubby" Wise) And on the side... 6. Dobro (resonator guitar) 7. Harmonica 8. Accordion

[@LessonsWithMarcel]

No need to wonder, it's been done! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5a0kINuj6d5fLM
