Monkey Island Theme on CLASSICAL GUITAR!

[@junkivore7379]

What makes this even more impressive is that Sam was holding his breath for 10 minutes while playing this! 😲

[@grenelef]

More like 8 minutes, tbh...

[@thefreshprince-t4m]

@@grenelef Video goes for 2 minutes.

[@EISENKEILER]

its the opposite way .... breathe - then the tune will breathe too ;) no offend I still like it but it could bring this tune to life

[@silversilk8438]

@EISENKEILER The joke is related to the main character of the game series (Guybrush Threepwood) and a couple memorable game moments from this old (what others would call classic) point and click. I think the game series was finished off actually quite recently, maybe even this year? I haven’t checked the date but there’s new artwork and even voiceovers for the rereleased original.

[@EISENKEILER]

I see yes I played the new game@@silversilk8438

[@axebearer]

That's the second best cover I've ever heard!

[@jimbojimjs]

I see what you did there!

[@junkivore7379]

Well done, sir 👏

[@JoshWatsonMusic]

I'm OVER HERE! My name is Guybreesh Threepwood and I'm a mighty pirate.

[@Nokturn]

This is SO GOOD. Don't think I realized how complex this song is until hearing this rendition.

[@meriiyyy0]

Frr

[@acshaw80]

I knew that if I googled “Monkey Island Cover Acoustic” I would find some dude that has perfected it on classical guitar

[@Zorgalon]

Same lmao

[@Cunnysmythe]

Absolutely brilliant, glorious rendition Monkey Island was my childhood, I played the second game so many times

[@santiagodcejudo]

One of the best video game songs ever! You did it beautifully

[@MasDouc]

Second best

[@keva5144]

Bro you're genuinely one of the best at playing video games tunes I've seen on youtube!

[@pumajlr]

that’s the second biggest cover I’ve ever heard!

[@LynxKT]

Those little accents are so beautifully played! I gotta get me dem tabs.

[@jonnyactual]

I’m floored, this is fantastic! Somehow it sounds like 2 guitars playing at once - amazing work 😄

[@twobear13]

I just wanted to say thankyou for this. I still listen from time to time, and still get swept up in the bittersweetness of nostalgia. This is the most beautiful rendition of this theme I've ever heard. Sincerely, a rapidly ageing milennial.

[@JohnRiggs]

DUDE! I love this! Thank you for this.

[@zarkaun96]

More people need to cover music from this game. My band WASD covers this. It's so much fun to play

[@acrophis]

Definitely giving the OST a listen after this.

[@shinichikudo454]

Sir, you are an absolute legend.

[@archivedandgone]

An absolute monke

I am rubber, you are glue...

[@osthyvel]

oh yeah?

[@dominiks.2206]

That's the second best cover of a Monkey Island Theme song I've ever heard.

[@JM.TheComposer]

The attention to detail in this performance is astounding. 👏

[@JoshGUITARofolo]

Best cover I’ve ever heard of this tune, man. Putting on a monkey master class. 🍌

[@MasDouc]

Second best cover you mean

[@mesharialghanem3293]

i agree ..

[@nichtsistkostenlos6565]

Incredible

[@TheBoyWhoWonders]

besides the awesome playing, the recording sounds so crisp and clean. lovin it

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

I can't get over how much I love this cover. Thanks for doing it such justice!

[@zezerik]

Finally some golden PC gaming era love. Thank you! If you have a desire to look in to it, please on some King's Quest 5 music like the Weeping Willow or town music themes.

[@Abrasjefen]

Im not crying, you are. Beautiful.

[@xDMG15x]

You nailed that! From the second i heard that bit where you tapped on the wood, i was locked in!

[@TheTrandeberg]

Finally a nostalgia overdose for an old gamer, wp sir , wp

[@RobertSmith-co2ji]

Nice! Camera work on point too! A little disappointed by the lack of pirate hat, but that's OK. Thanks!

[@Cobrass67]

amazing rendition of the best music in viddy games

[@juliapniewska1817]

Such a beautiful cover ❤

[@keitoulou]

Well done Sam, You are our guitar hero !

[@santiagonovara7250]

You finally played this song! I have waited long for this day to come :D

[@tclare11]

Switching 5 and 1/2 inch disks was worth it for this game. Thanks for this one

[@DocoptikN]

From the first notes shivers and tears my friend. Well Done

[@loejewis]

This slaps. Wally Crying from Monkey Island 3 is dope too, not sure it'd translate to classical guitar so well, but maybe you could find a way.

[@panchemist]

I can imagine a co-op with some people who will go along with the melody and punch in the famous quotes in a line of " THRRRRREEEPWOOOOOD!", "Hi, im selling these fine leather jackets!?", "You fight like dairy farmer" and an appropriate riposte etc.

[@jackellis6550]

Holy F dude that was truly brilliant

[@Helmut-wc3wb]

Beautiful!

[@mikelegault9344]

Every song is a banger, can’t wait for the next round of uploads!

[@DeanLamb]

I cannot overstate how much I love this

[@AugustBurnsSam]

HOLY SHIT, IT'S DEAN FROM ARCHSPIRE

[@whoanelly-]

OMG!! I cant beleive you did this! Awesome!!

[@pippymagoo2718]

You are my favorite youtuber, sam! Amazing performance as usual!

[@musicabilities]

I love you, Sam. Thank you for existing.

[@thomasleroy]

Really amazing! I really like the Monkey Island music, so thank you very much for this great cover Sam! 🤩👍

[@Jascosaurus]

You play such classic game tunes. Have you ever heard the Eye of The North Overture? Nobody’s made a successful cover of it but I feel like you could get that song to “ascend” especially after hearing this.

[@legendofmi]

This is awesome! Thanks!

[@jimbojimjs]

This deserves way more views

[@Kiki.Datter.Af.Lothbrok]

Watching you play is a blessing!

[@Soundole]

I think you really set the gold standard for what is possible in classical guitar arrangements. I don't think there's many players that could match your control and clarity!

[@fllramos]

What a blast! Truly amazing! Revive my early days playing the classic Monkey Island games! Kudos!

[@viktoreimar1240]

Very good! Lots of good details, Good enterpertation. I could tell it took alot och effort to get this done and your brain seemed really connected and focused on playing this one :)

[@babydiz970]

Amazing as always! Gonna go play some guitar myself now. You give me motivation, bro!

[@AaronJSussman]

What an excellent arrangement.

[@akcel1211]

Bravo ! Bravo ! Excellent ! 🍁

[@andrebmkt]

Absolutely 100% SUBLIME arrangement, WOW!

[@kalidusbebop]

Execution incroyable, c'est magnifique, et ca fait dresser les poils des bras :-) trop de souvenir :-)

[@OverratedGames]

I love this theme so much.

[@winterfireofficial2101]

[@evertongomes4248]

That's so good to hear.

[@renaissancemanrogue3543]

Dude, youre sick. Upload moreeee videos! Even if your just talking goddamnit. Sam Griffin is legend

[@DAMusic-qu2ec]

Spectacular arrangement, as usual!

[@drewrose5386]

How appropriate. You play guitar like a cow! (A f**king phenomenal cow...) Amazing, thank you for this, I really hope Michael Land, Ron Gilbert etc... get to to hear this, it was spine chillingly good.... which i'm sure wouldn't bother Murray since he's only a skull.

[@CrawfishParish]

Sounds Amazing!

[@chd1401]

Amazing! Very good rendition

[@Lyverfive]

Dude I am so excited for the new games.

[@gwvfwefwf]

I really needed this, thanks Sam

[@obiwanian2774]

Moving camera?! Wowza

[@silversilk8438]

Somehow this sounded like the sort of music you’d hear from a bard. Loved this rendition! Delicate, relaxed, perfect!

[@loganchristensen5426]

Incredible! As always. Now I desperately want to go back and play this game yet again! Haha Thanks for the great content.

[@Tsumi85]

As a nostalgic gamer, I must admit that you made my heart vibrate, well done!

[@RLocksley88]

Wow, well played, absolutely amazing work.

[@ChrisWhoRemains]

Look behind you! A three-headed guitarist!

[@kfirpopilis4846]

2:03 minutes ago i was looking for motivation to pick up my guitar and play again.

[@tommasocampagnolo9987]

Ok, this is absolutely IMPRESSIVE

[@MattMurphyMusicTeacher]

beautiful man, you just made my week :)

[@felix5287]

Never played monkey Island but somehow this made me nostalgic. What kinda magic u runnin' Sam? Also the slow panning 👌

[@beyondz55]

Bravo!

[@Kelty0656]

OMG my favorite game music ! Thanks !

[@TokyoShizu]

Straight FIRE🔥 never heard of this game, but this is the type of jam i always dig. Such an awesome vibe.

[@HelpTheWretched]

It's from at least 30 years ago but still one of the funniest games ever. The soundtrack is full of similar vibes.

[@jonstirling9169]

That was killer dude. Where can I pay and download the track? Those are some serious chops my friend. Thank you for putting in the effort. This is one of my most favorite games and you did a bang up job translating it - and somehow played all the melody lines, while making it look like you just whip those fretboard shapes out of your back side like it’s just Tuesday..

[@maskmagog99]

That's the second best version I've ever heard!

[@MasDouc]

This is the second best Monkey Island cover I've ever seen

[@jamiemoseley8327]

Excellent musical choice.

[@AlexVR]

Fantastic as per usual brah

[@Traceur172]

Damn, bro, I don't even know what Monkey Island is, but this makes me want to check it out! Absolutely incredible skills Sam! Keep inspiring us bröther 🙉
