Today I stumbled upon VGMix.com, an online community of amateur musicians who make recordings of video-game music. This sounded fun to me, so I spent some time recording a guitar version of the Super Mario Bros 2 level-one theme, in the style of Django Reinhardt (gypsy jazz).

After I spent a while recording and mixing this, though, it was just my luck to find out VGMix.com isn't accepting new registrations, so I can't actually post the song to the site. I guess I'll just post it here:

Gypsy jazz Super Mario Bros. 2 by Adrian Holovaty

It was recorded on a small computer microphone, so the sound quality could be a lot better. Hope somebody gets a kick out of it.

UPDATE: By popular request, I've posted the chords for my arrangement.
