Sonic Mania Guitar Medley | FamilyJules

If I don't make it, tell them I went fast.
I had my doubts about Sonic Mania, but damn was I wrong. I've been loving every second of it and hope now that it's out on Steam everyone can enjoy it. The music is absolutely steller and I had a really fun time trying to wrap my head around how to put it on the guitar.
Now I know this is the second time I've done Green Hill (*3rd time) and Chemical Plant but when I was deciding how I wanted to do a medley for this, I figured what better way to tribute all the amazing music than try to play every single zone in one go! Of course I couldn't do all 24 songs so I had to pick the ones I thought would sound best on guitar (and some just to appeal to my favorites, of course). I hope you guys liked the choices and hope your favorite zone acts didn't get left out, it was really hard getting 12 songs into a medley as it is!
This medley was SLAMMED in just about 5 days! It was probably the most intensely I've ever worked on a medley since it's so relentless and I had to get it done before travelling. Hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes throwing this together before PAX West! I hope I got to see all of you guys who went and I hope you guys enjoy the medley!

[@YabukiShingo4]

This gives the feeling of the old days when Sonic's credits were a medley of all the stages. I love it!

no matter what we do, we can never escape green hill Good cover

[@marcymarblez]

Palmtree Panic

[@MegaNerdX]

Good ol' Flying Battery Zone!

[@norbertoenrique8340]

The best part

[@kielanENmiles]

Flying Battery is the most metal Sonic track to begin with. Always a winner in this format.

[@TigerTailsTV]

Damn, that Titanic Monarch Zone segment... Sent shivers down my spine. So good! Fantastic work overall, dude.

[@Nintenrock]

Sonic Mania is so goddamn good!

[@neildarr]

Nintenrock yes!!!!

[@AniGaAG]

It shares my #1 spot for my favorite game (or games, rather) of all time together with Nier: Automata and Undertale.

[@cameronharding6055]

Nintenrock I’m just glad that it managed to fix Flying Battery. I was so worried that it would break my playthrough with anger.

[@nintony2994]

Don't even need to listen past the :03 mark to know that this is gonna be baller af

[@weeqoo123]

Just a video from him is baller

[@GonKillua85]

You nailed every song. The Oil Ocean is my favourite! You did an amazing job with it. You absolutely killed the Studiopolis and Press Garden. You perfectly captured the speed of Flying Battery. I enjoyed singing HUEs along with your Stardust Speedway! Your ocarina-style Mirage Saloon will stand out as the most unique. Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Hydrocity and Lava Reef strummed my nostalgia strings....pun intended. You truly put the 'Metal' in Metallic Madness...PUN INTENDED! And finally, I can go to sleep tonight knowing that nobody will ever cover Titanic Monarch better than this. Absolutely sensational!

[@dingles3393]

I loved the transition from Green Hill Zone to Chemical Plant Zone. It was pretty great.

[@PiousMoltar]

THIS IS EPIC It's a shame it's a medley tbh. You should do each song in full and release a fucking album of it.

[@jordangraham758]

I'd buy 20

[@GoldStorm07]

Even if a Sonic game isn't amazing gameplay-wise (which Mania thankfully was), it can be counted on to provide good music.

[@revolvingworld2676]

GoldStorm07 Sonic choronicles tho

[@GoldStorm07]

RevolvingWorld You got a problem with that amazing OST?

[@VictorCh4os]

Except Rise of Lyric

[@ryancarter2959]

GoldStorm07 agreed

[@ryancarter2959]

You know what has a great soundtrack in my opinion? Sonic Heroes

[@gabocarina96]

This game is so freaking good!! Awesome job on the medley, man!

[@SJC82]

I noticed at a couple parts in mirage saloon he's playing a ocarina that's amazing

[@Serveza6]

This reminds me when i was a child,everyday,everywhere playing Sonic while my parents told me that i had to do my homework. Thanks for make me feel these feelings man ;)

[@guibanana]

holy crap dude... that Flying Battery Zone hit me hard! Thank you so much for this, AWESOME JOB!

[@giolf752]

I love how the music evolves as you progress through each level. It is perfect. Great cover

[@noahpulliam8212]

I'm back years later. And this shit still slaps soo hard.

[@PiousMoltar]

METALLIC Madness. Needs to be a full metal song. I mean it's in the name. And you make it work SO FUCKING WELL.

[@daggerpardus1216]

I can only imagine how amazingly epic you'd make the boss themes sound from Sonic Mania! Just amazing! Keep up the amazing work!!! Love this!!! 😍😍😍💜💜💜

[@maikexes5678]

Jules. I love, that every song you repeat over the time, has his own style. Like the green hill zone theme. Someone who knows your previous covers will noticed that. Dude, you make every song to your own unique.

[@boricuappsllc2007]

This is awesome man, I enjoy your work so much. Pumps me up.

[@SimosFunk]

Great job and great playing , every time I come back to listen to one of your arrangements the playing gets better and better and it was already damm good to start with . Thank you (the jazz made me smile and love your right hand technique) Have Fun :)

[@ChathamGames]

Nice seeing you at PAX! So happy to see this medley of my favorite series. Keep up the awesome work.

[@XxRAND0MxG4M3RzZ]

Mirage Saloon Zone was perfect

[@RikujoMarame]

Love every bit of this man. Especially since sonic was my childhood. Keep it up jules!

[@Myles]

This has brought so much happiness into my brain. Thank you for making this!!!

[@Powere25]

Love that transition from Flying battery into Press garden Act 2. Love your work man...keep it up!

[@cubedtothex]

This is so awesome! Tears of joy here, especially with Press Garden Act 2!

[@StainedRevenant]

Really impressive selection and remix compilation. I was not disappointed!

[@SirJeffhog]

This would've made for an EPIC end credits medley! Ace job as always

[@The_Mofologist]

Titanic Monarch blew my mind! Sounds so much better with live instruments! Love Tee Lopes work don't get me wrong, but holy moly!

[@Rob_Morrison_GB]

And i've just subscribed!! No medley could top this!!! Great job my man!!!

[@eddieplaysgames8685]

I can tell you had a lot of fun with this. I got Sonic Mania the day it came out and I had so much fun discovering all the zones.

[@alexgochenour8740]

Duuuuuude Oil Ocean was sublime. This is such a beautifully arranged medley.

[@speedbdash4360]

Man, what a amazing job! Seriously, it made my day. That Titanic Monarch is simply superb. Congratulations!

[@deniskdenisk1985]

This sounds awesome! Wow you even put the gameplay in the background which is in sync with the songs you play! Truly remarkable work!

[@nathanking452]

Man that’s amazing. Sick how you play everything. Sounds just like the mega drive, how it should sound!

Always loved the melodies and chord progressions in the sonic series. Nice job, dude.

[@XmasterlinkxX]

I love the little details you added in the background. Such as the song being played is on one of the two monitors

[@peaberry9413]

Nothing makes me happier than a Jules cover of this length. All in five days, *and* tossed together before PAX? He never fails to astound me.

[@drop0ut606]

no shit, you know thew thing that makes his medleys so good?it's not the harmonies, or the chops (which are damn good) it's the TIMING, the thing he does that makes his stuff work so much better than the other metal video game guys is that he actually understands and has exceptional timing and groove.

[@M3atY]

this just blew my mind! thank you so much!

This is something Sonic Mania's credit sequence really needed, the classic medley of the levels' themes played over them. Thanks for making something the game overlooked. It was great!

Great reprise of Chemical Plant. You nailed it this time!!!!

Not only are you one of my favorite guitarists to listen to, you're also one of the funnest to watch! Your enthusiasm for the music permeates your whole demeanor and I feel it in the music and see it in how much you seem to enjoy yourself in the videos. You're a superstar!

This was amazing! You did an especially great job with Metallic Madness and Titanic Monarch. Those were beastly songs that worked the best on the instruments.

[@Dreygen5]

I had actually just commented on your 2013 or 2014 version of chemical plant and how for some reason it didn't hit that pleasure center of my brain quite like I thought it would. Hearing a little snippet of Chemical Plant here, I definitely felt it. I've always loved your stuff, and will never cease to be amazed when I hear a nostalgic work you have covered.

[@rachelliu8776]

Awesome medley! Keep up the good work dude! :D

I could listen to Metallic Madness and Titanic Monarch aaaall day. Legit hoping you go one-by-one through the list, but I won't hold my breath since you made the medley. Love it! Listening to it on repeat all day
