This made me tear up.. I remember being like 8 yrs old and I would beg my grandma to come watch me play DK when her and grandpa visited. She would do it happily, just sit on the edge of my bed and watch me play DK without a complaint just because I was so stoked on the game and I guess she could see that and went along with it just to make me happy. Love you grams.

If this ain't played at my funeral, I'm jumping out of a barrel in a new body

Imagine being the composer of this song and figuring it all out on midi

Hearing this took me back all those years, me and my brother's sat huddled around our tiny TV and super Nintendo.

The creativity that goes into these arrangements is super inspiring

Honestly, maybe their best cover ever, no exaggeration.

Nostalgia activated. If you owned a copy of this game then you had an awesome childhood.

why did this make me wanna cry. this had no business provoking those emotions on me. LOL

1:35 That run tho

Doesnt matter which version of this I hear, I still hear Enguarde going bwoop bwoop bwoop in my head

This song has always amazed me, even as a wee lad. So calming yet has undertones of despair.

I happened to hear you guys play this live in Detroit for the NSP acoustic tour this year and I gotta say, it was an almost intimidating moment, humbling more like, the silence of the crowd while y'all plucked and strummed away. Not even a sound, dude, but the ambience, It was a powerful energy that is going to stick in my brain forever. This song means so much to me and to many of the others out there in that crowd and to hear y'all just happen to play that live, that shit was life changing and it brought tears to my eyes, I was holding my nose the whole song holding em back. Knowing y'all were playing for your friends and family in the crowd too, you guys rocked the hell out of it. I hope I get to see you guys tour again, either with NSP again or on your own, I would to love to see your guys' full show someday. Thanks for the most epic performance in Detroit dudes, you rock!

Honestly with that guitar slide this sounds like a Resident Evil save room theme at first

I was wondering "Oh, another aquatic ambiance cover" but that Harp run flexing was more than enough to justify it. Best version out there no doubt.

I literally just keep coming back to close my eyes and visualize being 8 years old again, and playing Coral Capers over and over just to hear the soundtrack. That was when I knew I was a musician. That connection to the sounds that were coming out of my TV set, was unbreakable. Thanks again Boys.

It sounds like a BEAUTIFUL combination of DK's aquatic ambiance with a sprinkle of the Town's theme in Diablo I Dear goodness this is amazing!

Just when you think you heard every kind of cover of aquatic ambience, you hear a new kind that feels just as wimsical as the first time you heard it

Hell yeah, everything from dkc is a banger

Holycow! 1. The mix is ​​wonderful. 2. Definitely the best song from DK. 3. You are both on a completely different level, especially when it comes to sync. 4. That shred bro 1:34

that legato/sweep run was just amazing! The thought that all notes were played on a acoustic nylon string guitar is just amazing.

One of the best videogame tracks of all time. Performed by some of the greatest RU-vid musicians.

Masterfully executed good sirs.

LOVE THESE GUYS. I felt the stare at the end, Sam. Thank you for piercing my soul

I love how the dynamics are the most important part of playing this song. Every song has a theme that can be translated into a guitar lesson. Great stuff.

David Wise's writing is so effing amazing

This song turned me back into monkeh and transported me underwater I can see the level, I can see the swordfish you can free and ride on, I can see the shark and fish enemies, it’s like I’m 6 all over again! Wonderful rendition fellas! Glad to be a subscriber!

This is insane. The skill and dedication here is something to behold. The glass slide to imitate the chorus synth effect is beyond me. Just bravo gentlemen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🤟🏻

Masterful as always

Sam’s playing is a lot more ...sensual with the Bros. The tone, the patience, and the focus is so profound. The harmonies ring out so much deeper with two guitars, making it so satisfying to take your time between chords and let the sound drift and evaporate. So expertly executed. Amazingly done.

The run leading up to the main melody legitimately gave me goosebumps. What an amazing cover.

I'm such a fan of you guys.. this wakes up emotions and mindfulness lying deep within my soul, when my heart was pure...

Watching this live changed my life

Those chords starting at 0:58 or so are out of this world

Guys cmon. I need a 10 min version of this. Beautiful as always, thanks fellas.

Seeing this live in San Francisco with the gorgeous blue lighting behind them, was an absolute spectacle

Man, watching this for the umpteenth time, on the second chorus the backup guitarist is not just playing chords, he's hitting notes that are very subtle yet add ALOT to the complexity. Very skillful.

1:34 holy shet Sam. I mean, the whole thing is just amazing, Geez.

The wholy Grail of game music. Will pay for tabs

2 midas touch guitarists that have spun another beautiful melody into gold with their exquisite rendition.

You can see in the face they feel and love it

David Wise and Evelyn FIscher did such a wonderful job on this game... tears me up all the time

Hauntingly beautiful, like no other cover made of this track. None other can compare.

The sound of a better time - a golden age.

I’m in Love. The water level was my least favorite level in the game, but it had my favorite song in the game. I would replay the level just to hear this song. 😍😍Great job guys!

This is so FREAKING coooool!!! Gonna play DK country later at night because of this video! 😁😁😁🎮

Man I recently went back and played this on the switch digital SNES and that whole soundtrack gave me goosebumps. It goes so hard.

The best video game soundtrack of all time, period.

This is a F-ing jam! Beautiful and nostalgic

The freaking slide to open the song, Steve. Aaaahhhhh!!! This song is the poster child for what David Wise did for video game music, so freaking great. Incredible cover guys!

Aquatic Ambiance by two of the most talented guitarist on RU-vid. Thanks guys 👍

Y’all went F*CKING CRAZY on this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

those fingers are magic

I never grew up with DKC but this is easily one of my favourite water level themes along with dire dire docks and that beeping thing that happens in the older sonic games.... ok so maybe not that last one. An amazing arrangement

This premieres just in time for my morning coffee break at work.

This is honestly insane, the slide just sounds too good

I love how intentionally scaled back this arrangement is, trying to let the notes hang in the air instead of trying to overemphasize them.

This is one of the finest 16bit songs ever, as well as one of the best covers I've ever heard of any song. Thank you.

1:03 is everything.

Note: The proper use of an E-Bow. Well done, impressive!

Everytime I hear this song I think about David Wise being tasked with making the music for a level where monkeys swim and collect bananas and then creating something so absurdly beautiful

This is.. a) the most moving arrangement I've heard of this b) one of my favorite performances by you both c) a DKCertified bop

Found the next song I'm going to listen to on repeat while I work for the next month

I was on the road for a year in a caravan back in 1996 traveling around the UK on holiday, playing this on gameboy original.. Great times with the family. Difficult for a 9 year old to live out of a backpack for 12 months but gameboy kept me entertained when on the road.

sometimes i cry listening to you guys-I'm an old man who has lost everything in life but my ~Soul~ so TY and long live your music ~Peace.

This warmed my heart as it blasted me right in the nostalgia. Thank you for unearthing a trove of forgotten childhood memories. Cheers

Now we are talking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was a fucking spiritual experience to hear live at the Portland NSP show. You guys are incredible. #longasswater

My daughter and I listen to you guys every day. The emotion in this song and video goes deep. Much appreciated gentleman and thank you for always sharing.

Good choice of song to cover.

wtf why this is so relaxing

What a masterpiece

Getting good old childhood memories from this

i shed some tears listening to this. The amount of creatively and passion that goes into your arrangements and playing is really inspiring to me as a musician. Keep up the donkey kong covers i think they are your guys best work! thank you for this awesome video!

omgggg so hype for this now that it’s finally out.. wow.. so good. you guys went hard i love it

This reduced me to tears. Thank you for this beautiful rendition of the DKC water theme.

By far and away the best rendition of this song I've ever heard. Knocked it out of the park my dudes.

The first time i heard sams run in this it made me compulsively go "ooooooooh"

This was SUPERB. When Steve gave us that first sensuous strum at 0:40, I had to catch my breath. People in the comments are calling this your best cover yet, and I might have to agree.

very masterful combination of the ebow and slide. an interesting solution to a novel problem, and very elegantly implemented.

Makes me sad...It's so beautiful with such great memories! Thank Thank guys for sharing! 😭❤👍

An ebow on an acoustic guitar. Now I've seen everything.

That was absolutely incredible. Always been my favourite piece of game music. Totally smashed it guys !

I come back here every day.

Deserving of two plays just to hear the brilliance of this arrangement.

Some of the best guitar composition I've ever heard, hands down. Incredibly beautiful.

You know it’s serious when the E-bow comes out to play.

The flow of this is so much like Dallas green and I'm here for it

Beautiful. Brings back memories of waking up at like 530 am in the mid 90s when I was 6-7 years old just to play this game.

My my, this is gorgeous. Do I hear a full DKC album coming ;-)

You guys have made a lot of awesome stuff over the years, but this is transcendent. It's suddenly hard for me to imagine this song in its original tones. This cover feels canon.

I've been searching for different arrangements for this song. To make it sound good on two acoustics is very impressive, the control of the shifting dynamics (like swelling and fading in volume) and the subtle nuances of the harmonics add so much depth. Excellent. The arpeggios are crisp, not self indulgent, meaning they add to the melody rather than detract, *and* they fit the tune so well. You guys seriously rock.

first couple of chords brought me back 28 years back...man what memories of playing DCK 1 keep it up loving the channel!

Amazing stuff as always guys!

Please put this on Spotify without delay

Instant transportation back to my childhood. Sitting on the floor with my eyes closed and just listening to this music for the first time. You truly did phenomenal work with this cover. Thank you for sharing.

I didn't play DKC. The music still gave me chills.

Ficou muito legal,várias lembranças aqui 😀

The low key palm muted chugs bring so much extra suddle life to this piece.

I was impressed the first time I watched this. But then I sat down to learn the part for the guy on the left and now I’m a whole new level of impressed. Respect earned. 👌
