Ricco Harbor on Guitar

[@MrSiggismund]

I love how it switches from Metal to Reggae xD

[@xXChrisBXx1]

Such a catchy and upbeat theme.

[@ronbip.5127]

devotion its so rewarding i can't explain how good it is

[@MCHammerBro]

Is there anything you can't do? This is why I love your video game covers - these songs loop and so you can do them over and over again with a new style each time. Rock, Funk, Surfer, Metal, and flat out inprov sounds over the melody is just amazing. You're the person that the guitar was invented for!

[@CSGuitar89]

I have definitely considered playing with a group of people and I really enjoy doing a collaboration once in a while, but I actually really like working on these songs just by myself. It may be a little self-centered, but now I can do whatever I like and have complete creative freedom. I don't consider it a pain at all to record all the different tracks. In fact, it's a really cool experience to build up a song from scratch, multi track everything and seeing it all coming together in the end :)

[@SuperToastytoast]

One of my favorite things about you is that you're not always about heavy stuff! You give soft smooth styles come out too

[@FamilyJules7X]

Dat bass shot. God damn, you are incredible, sir.

[@YuukiLex]

fucking...nostalgia...of...childhood...:c... i want to play sunshine again now :.c

[@Rackdar]

I like how many styles you incorporate in your covers. In this one you bring the funk and it shines.

[@CSGuitar89]

Yes, the Strat and the Vintage bass are the latest additions to my collection ;) I have used the bass in my last three covers though.

[@ickybobclay26]

I love how you respond to your viewers and help them out.

[@TheTeamPlayers]

The king.

[@6footginger]

Sick dude, this is definitely one of my favorite games. Riding the squid in the water with the summery sunshine was always fun. The sandbird theme was very relaxing and touching as well.

[@yoshi127island]

Oh, man! I didn't think you'd be able to pull this one off, but it sounded amazing!

[@SageY91]

a very uplifting piece of music plus brings back some great memories

[@CSGuitar89]

Yes it is :) I've used it in a couple of videos but it's pretty new indeed.

[@CSGuitar89]

Yes I have, multiple times actually. I really liked that game, the whole ambiance, the characters and, of course, the music :)

[@CSGuitar89]

Yes, I recently switched to filming all of my videos with a DSLR and a couple of different lenses :)

[@MRDPAUL13]

Your honestly probably the most UNDERrated guitarist known to man!

[@MikaelLV]

Super Mario Sunshine is the best Mario game ever. Cool cover mate! Love it!

[@RobTheMidgetMan]

THANK YOU!!! I'm glad you did another Super Mario Sunshine one! MP3 HERE I COME!!! :D

[@Narutendo3]

I love how you clearly put so much heart into each remix.

[@SilentSnipes86]

Never stop being great Csguitar89

[@CSGuitar89]

Yeah, I got the Standard Strat a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be perfect for the funky tone I was going for.

[@lkorn9150]

Everything about this video is awesome. Caspar, you are legendary.

[@CSGuitar89]

I got the Strat a couple of weeks ago. I figured I really should get a proper one since I always really liked the clean tones.

[@ajrules124]

So many memories of when I first got my gamecube. Many a restless night on this game. But not a single moment of regret. Thank you for this amazing cover man. Keep em coming :)

[@stario64]

Simply Amazing. That's all there is to it.

[@nate112398]

This song brings back good memories

[@CSGuitar89]

Thanks! I'm using a Canon 550D / T2i to record my videos now.

[@BrandonSimmsAllDay]

you have to respect the amount of work that goes into his videos

[@CSGuitar89]

Hey! No, I've never run into any copyright issues. The whole video game cover thing is kind of a grey area when it comes to what's legal and what isn't. I mean, the composition itself is copyrighted but it's really vague whether an adapted version/arrangement of the song with added parts is protected. Because of the fact that I don't think it's fair to ask money for other peoples works, I will never sell my covers though, so I highly doubt I will run into any problems.

[@Entity-of-Justice]

It's insanely underratted dude! Most people hate it! They rate it on it's newly introduced mechanics and voice-acting, thinking it sucks.

[@CarterArts]

Damn it, you just take every epic song from every epic game and maker it epic-er! Bravo!

[@CSGuitar89]

Hey Jonathan! I haven't really changed anything as far as my lead tone goes, but indeed it is kind of a chorus effect. Basically, I copy the original lead track, shift one of them a few milliseconds forward and then pan the tracks differently to create a fuller tone. It's pretty much the same as a chorus except that I don't change the pitch of one of the tracks.

[@CSGuitar89]

I never found that to be a real problem to be honest. The thing is, if you have multiple guitars, you play each individual one less than when you only have one. So, the strings wear out less quickly. The only thing I do really, is clean my guitar after I've played it and it really helps to keep the strings and fretboard in good condition.

[@CSGuitar89]

Yes it is :) I got it a few weeks ago.

[@Manwhofirstfoundfire]

Holy shit awesome variation in your playing! Thanks for the nostalgia brick in my face!

[@CSGuitar89]

Glad you like it! You can find a description of my entire setup on the 'Gear' page of my website CSGuitar89. com or you can check out my 'Gear Tour' video to get an idea of how I record. Hope this helps :)

[@TheDelRe]

I was right to like this before the video even started. This is sick bro.

[@CSGuitar89]

Well, I have been using it in a couple of videos but yeah, it's pretty new :)

[@KronoNyx]

Man you did such an awesome job on this. Love how this sounded looking forward for the others you be making. Keep up the great work

[@TorgazDethan9]

You my friend, deserve the medal of awesomeness, this is freaking epic. Now, if you could make "Hope never Dies" (Brenner´s theme) , I´ll die happy

[@satisfyingvideosandcutestu7891]

As a drummer I gotta say if you wrote these drum tracks yourself you did an amazing job!

[@Starkride48]

Awesome cover! Always a pleasure to hear one of your new covers

[@Kuya_yan]

I loved this song

[@MasterfulMoose]

Well I certainly hope it gets more work soon!

[@schrottinator]

It's so much fun to listen to this.

[@Keoghification]

This, is beautiful.

[@Minerva_XIV]

Oh man, this brings back memories

[@megaluisdeth]

I wish I could chill at the beach while smoking a fat blunt to this music. Let's see a demo of that ENGL amp you have! Awesome job as always. I still listen to the Zelda album you made in my car blasting it so everyone in my city could hear it!

[@jonathanparecki]

Ahh very cool man! No wonder your leads sound so amazing!

[@ProjectBeastMode3]

Makes me miss this game

[@Chaotix010]

The addicting music of Ricco Harbor has suddenly become more addictive thanks to this video. ;)

[@HylianHero17]

Now I feel like playing super Mario sunshine

[@WolfofLena]

You release this as I'm just now replaying the game. This cover is so awesome! =)

[@CSGuitar89]

Goed om te horen dat je weer bent aangehaakt ;) De Fender is gewoon een standaard Mexicaanse Strat zo uit de winkel en zonder enige aanpassingen.

[@CSGuitar89]

Hey! Well, usually I just start off with a basic drum pattern and change it so it matches the feel I'm going for. It's basically just a matter of what sounds right to me for that specific part. I pretty much always arrange the song and write the drum parts simultaneously to make sure I get the right drums for each part. Lately, I've been programming all my drum parts from scratch and I try to get inspiration from my favorite drummers to come up with the patterns.

[@CSGuitar89]

The Strat is new indeed, I got it a couple of weeks ago :)

[@CSGuitar89]

Wow, thanks! Yeah, I really like those nice characteristic clean and twangy tones of a Strat so I figured I should get myself a proper one ;)

[@Rackdar]

Kind of a funky vibe to this one. Rock on!

[@killuminatoV01]

Fucking awesome. My childhood in a song. Still waiting on sunshine 2.

[@GoTELuckyCharms]

I miss this game! This is really impressive!

[@MattShadows999]

Excellent game... Excellent Cover

[@Cheeser997]

I love the Rhythm in this, very surfy. :)

[@TheAlcalic]

Thank you very much for this wonderful piece of nostalgia in my ears :P

[@TheCoooom]

Thank goodness for emulaters, eh? The game will never be forgotten with those things! I hope they make a Sunshine 2 so there can be MORE guitar covers!

[@ArnyUnderCover]

Fantastic cover! This is a whole new level.

[@CSGuitar89]

Yes, that would definitely be possible. Please send an e-mail to info@CSGuitar89. com with the drum tracks you'd like to have and I'll do my very best to send them to you as soon as possible.

[@bowoflight4]

this cover sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@BIGpapa-dy5kf]

Oh my gosh this is so great

[@philam64]

Great, amazing, insert every possible positive adjective here. Love it.

[@gio_setsuna]

sound of summer luv sms great cover

[@bandhawkp]

I must say, this will be a challenging one to learn.

[@CSGuitar89]

Personally, I'd recommend you to check out what Ibanez, Schecter and ESP/LTD have to offer. They all make great quality guitars and have a lot of experience with guitars for heavier music styles.

[@OhNoTheFace]

Really good cover. Quite varied and awesome

[@SilentSnipes86]

amazing job dude keep rocking out.

[@CSGuitar89]

Hey Will! Of course I remember you man ;) Good to hear from you. How have you been and how are your own covers coming along?

[@AydensGuitar]

The master has returned! Great video loved it! :)

[@Willink4th]

Hey dude! awesome cover! I really enjoy it, mario sunshine was a good game, thank you for your amazing job! take care dude! long time no see you in fact. Now you have a lot of fans I hope you remember me a little :) (Y)

[@chao2006]

Amazing.

[@FishyFod]

Hey Casper, I've heard a couple of fantastic tracks recently and I really think you should consider doing them. First, I'll always like an Okami cover of some sorts, but tha's up to you. Secondly, there's Bouy Base Galaxy which sound awsome, and there's also Final Destination. I think you could do some really awsome covers with them, but it's up to you. And again, amazing job on this new cover! Really like it.

[@CSGuitar89]

Hey! I'm really sorry, but I don't have any midi files of the drum parts because I can't export them with GarageBand unfortunately...

[@_samikoivisto]

Awesome as always! Keep on rocking!

[@Kalamoona]

This is amazing.

[@Mitsukiv2]

Man, you are awesome!! Love every single song you made :D

[@DarkProX]

@CSGuitar89 Casper, Nice song! please do more songs from Super mario sunshine!

[@MrCesaromar0707]

you are awesome

[@bvp5885]

This is awesome! You should do a lot more video game songs.

[@MarvinManio]

I think it's very well known and everybody loves it

[@DenniTheDude]

Ah, fucking school, there are so many games that I NEED to play, but no time, including Sunshine! Damn it! Probably my favorite 3D mario game, but a really long time ago since I played it, It's so damn good and unique.

[@HiMyNameIsAlex_Music]

Man. What a good guy!

[@ezio915]

You are the best Capser, Amazing Work

[@davidk822]

[@mcdcurtis]
