      Or in space; imagine that! I always thought that this music should have also been used for an outer-space stage later in the game; I guess the designers didn't think of that, though...until later, and I don't think this song is in Super Mario Galaxy. (SHOULD BE, though, right?)

      @@laxstrat Your left hand frets a note, then your right hand index finger touches (but doesn't press down) directly above the fret that is 12 frets above the note the left hand is fretting. Another finger on your right hand (probably ring finger) picks the string. It's the same idea as playing a harmonic at the 12th fret, but if the left hand is holding a note on the third fret, for example, then the harmonic is now three frets up from the 12th fret, and you'll need to use your right hand to access it.

    I'm late to the party, but just thought I'd leave a story here:
    My Grandfather with whom I was VERY close with got into video games around the time of Nintendo 64. Being a gamer myself this obviously got me very excited as we could share in that. Super Mario 64 was always his favorite game, countless hours and numerous playthroughs we would do together trying to 100% the game, they are my fondest memories. He unfortunately passed a few years ago, but when I listened to this cover for the first time, it took me right back, every memory came rushing back to me and I smiled for DAYS. I come back and listen to this often when I just need to remember life is good.
    sorry for the long comment but being a musician myself I always love to hear the way my music touches different people (if it does) keep playing your heart out! I can feel that you love to play and that feeling becomes infectious when people listen! Thank you so much for this

      Be kind man, not mankind. Since the fatality rate for those under 65 with no underlying medical conditions seems to be about 2%, I like my odds.

    Mario 64 has some great music and you played one of the best songs, might I add very well; but this is to be expected you're an amazing player and we all know this. Good job bro, love everything you've put out; keep putting out ;)
