I've been a fan of Ewan's for over a decade.......THANK GOD for UA-cam.......if not for Utube, I may never heard his music. He's the best.....why would anyone desparage him ??? Just read that garbage in the NOTES ABOVE. Grow up whoever said that.
how could it possibly get better, on tour? no I think he is as happy playing on my computer as I am to watch and listen any time I want with no crowds ect, no I would pay this man do continue what he is doing right here before I would want to pay a ticket agency and autidorium, so no Ewan is best doing exactly what he is doing please never change your way of playing and to go commercial is when the magic would die. I again Thank You Ewan.
I propose all 90's video games are remastered with his guitar in the background. I'd love to play Mortal Kombat or Super Mario on Game boy again with this in the background.
dont know about u. but this lvl 5 and 30 tune reminds me good old times when i was kid who played amiga and nes , when i close ma eyes and listen this, i can still see me playing argade games and baground plays 8- bit or 16 bit intense gaming music.
Really... Don't compare this music to a game... This is divine, a game aint.. I'd love to hear more from you Ewan! Another inspiration to start playing guitar :)
The other guitars in the background are ones from his other videos. Every time he has to use a new guitar cause they either catch on fire or explode after the songs are finished. The ashes are used as chief source of potassium for farming in poor countries. The ground yields great harvests I hear.
Oh, yes, and thank you Mr.Harding! My Mother certainly did teach her six children(and many of our young friends) that which you reminded everybody in this introduction of, that being, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Timely advice more people should follow, in my humble opinion. Thank you Mr. Harding, for sharing what you share!
OMFG HOW I LOVE HIS MUSIC. this is just phenomenal and puts a smile on my face yet again. Love to see this guy in concert, i heard he from ontario whereabouts?
I came across this completely by accident and had no intention of spending 10 minutes watching a video. I was looking for something else. To not let this run the full 10 minutes seemed a horrible sacrilege. This is incredible. It's barely believable! Ewan, please, please keep doing what you are doing, and please consider touring in Scotland, as soon as is possible. Are you signed up already? Where can I buy this? Where have you been all our lives? O.K. sorry, I don't believe in idolising either, but for the love of God!
@dariusberne As I've stated before, the sound coming from the guitar went directly into the mic on my Canon. What you here is what he played - note for note - no EQ. He's just that good.
@Aro2220 well its the same notes just its done on acoustic with no effects, but you have to look up level 5 marion on youtube and come back and listen to this but you have to believe that you just heard is the same as this
Who the heck does T-Down????? -_- You, sir, are amazing! :D Dobson and you made me take up mu guitar again after some 10 years of no playing. I know that it will be difficult, but I WILL play this..... :)
Nah - he stumbles at 2:10. But damn, he recovers real quick. When i play live, and maake a mistake i progresively get worse throughout the song. This guy don't let that happen lol
Amazing talent. I find the background visuals on some of the vids distracting as they're so generically, uh, cheap (sorry). I'll be checking out Ewan in person at The Station Gallery in Brantford in the next few days and am looking forward to it. You can find me on here as well,, for my professional 'cred'...(pro piano), look under 'Performance Video'.
This song is not from super mario its his own original song probably inspired by nes games , if u listen to candyrat/rpoland level 5 version he change some of the bassnotes for example the part at 01:24 smooth stuff :) respect to ewan he is the man

One of the greatest guitar player + composers of our time. No joke.
This sounds like all the video game songs from my childhood rolled into one! :D
A real master on the guitar. He is an idol for me
This is THEE best performance of both of these songs. Just love the transition.
Saw him live and he played this by request. Ewan is so fucking sick.
Amazing playing, 10:02 of greatness.
3 people got blinded by his awesomeness and couldn't see the like button so accidently hit the dislike... it happens
Very well done... I was smaked by a flood of memories from just about EVERY NES game ever published. He's da SHIZZ!!! Thank you Ewan

it must have been a hard labour delivering him ..guitar and all. must have been born with it in hand.... amazing skillzz thanks
I just came back from a cottage trip in Collingwood... Too bad he wasn't playing when I was there.
Simply beyond amazing. TRULY awesome!
I get to see him in all his glory on April 4th! So pumped... he better have his visualizations!!!
If i only had a pinch of that talent....
***** Practice, lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of practice... :D lol
THE BEST!!! респект и уважуха!!!
These pieces are a joy to experience outside of the games. I presume these pieces are from video games, if not, great, if so - even better.
Mind blowing.
I propose all 90's video games are remastered with his guitar in the background.
I'd love to play Mortal Kombat or Super Mario on Game boy again with this in the background.
This another amazing song from him, wow.
Lindo ..... muito lindo !
dont know about u. but this lvl 5 and 30 tune reminds me good old times when i was kid who played amiga and nes , when i close ma eyes and listen this, i can still see me playing argade games and baground plays 8- bit or 16 bit intense gaming music.
You sir, are one of the most amazing acoustic guitarist ive ever seen! Please come to Australia....
So good to listen to both songs one after the other! :D
Really... Don't compare this music to a game...
This is divine, a game aint..
I'd love to hear more from you Ewan!
Another inspiration to start playing guitar :)
MOAR!! I NEED MOAR!! lol :D
must be a rare video seeing he isnt casting his musical wizardry onto the surroundings. melting the walls with beautiful colors and patterns
fantastic focus
I should be studying my math ... great playing Ewan

Amazing guitarist Ewan is
OMFG HOW I LOVE HIS MUSIC. this is just phenomenal and puts a smile on my face yet again. Love to see this guy in concert, i heard he from ontario whereabouts?
your my idol dude!
very nice guitar skills!
@6tringerz i agree. his right hand has mind-blowing dexterity!
GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!
@ 7:02 his fingers move with a robotic precision. Just amazing...and of course, that isn't everything...just wanted to point that out.
unbeleivable
@shibbyclairex
the song is the background music from tetris, may explain a few things
If I remember correctly this song was in Guitar Hero 1986 :)
His lead rhythm is taken from Fleetwood Mac "Rhiannon".

@3:36 .....words cannot express
God? i would have never recognized you without your hat :O

I've been playing guitar for 17 years and I can say it takes dedication and skill to get this good. Also old game music is great. Nice work!
Nice!
how could u dislike this???
Probably the most awesome song I've ever stumbled on UA-cam !!! Keep rocking man !!
@shibbyclairex
Thats kind of the point. lol. Hence the song being named "Level 5 and 30". : P
Nah - he stumbles at 2:10. But damn, he recovers real quick. When i play live, and maake a mistake i progresively get worse throughout the song. This guy don't let that happen lol
@neek49 He probably meant the meaning of the music to him :P because Ewan definitely doesn't mess up there.
Amazing talent. I find the background visuals on some of the vids distracting as they're so generically, uh, cheap (sorry). I'll be checking out Ewan in person at The Station Gallery in Brantford in the next few days and am looking forward to it.

@neek49 i was just saying to Heldure that to photoshop a video, use aftereffects :)
Imagine chilling with him...
There is something same that in band called In Flames. \,,/
@MegaRyan1987 He's from Toronto.
Was that a slip at 209. I think the grin at 2.11 says yes :-)
Amazing stuff.
This song is not from super mario its his own original song probably inspired by nes games , if u listen to candyrat/rpoland level 5 version he change some of the bassnotes for example the part at 01:24 smooth stuff :) respect to ewan he is the man
@faroutcoraltrout If you have Facebook you can ask him. I've added a link to his Facebook fan page from this video in the info section.
@shibbyclairex I think thats the point, check out the title of the song. :P
Nice play, US marine
8:26-8:32 The Hero stumbles, gets back up, tries again.
This guy is devastating really o_o
LMAO UPLOADER NAME NEEK 49 HAHAHAHA XD
Thanks for the upload though :P it's amazing :)
@91FroSt91 Glad you find it amusing...
I think that the composition is inspired by video game music, but not taken directly from any particular game or pre-existing track.
@djthund3r WoW doesn't deserve music this good. Though if it should be anywhere in that game I'd say the Kael'thas fight in Tempest Keep. :)
is he a robot?
@shibbyclairex he does it from Super Mario games, hence level 5 is level 5. It sounds close but he changed it and its 1000000xs better
Yyaasss!!!
@DWMKirbissin Sorry - I don't hear it. Then again, I don't play guitar. But I do listen.
Pew-pew-pew! CONTRA~!
@MegaRyan1987 check "ewanguitar" on Myspace for concert listings and updates
@novanerved At least one of those people were only joking, poking fun at Ewan's use of computer generated backgrounds on his CandyRat videos.
Holy crap
when do we get to level 50 and the final boss ?
Holy shit..
How is this even POSSIBLE?!
@Coopster54
lol.. so funny!! :-D
What is the tuning he uses ?....Does anyone know ?..........
more views more 5 star ratings more telling your freinds about this guy!
@woodshed42 ?
@stuck777 yeah that's what i think too.
@neek49 Ah, true that. I just wanted to point it out, I'm notta hater :D *listening again*
@shibbyclairex
saw the name of the song? think a bit more before posting please
@EsronUnderhill I was being facetious...
@woodshed42 how 2 photoshop a video?
@woodshed42 whaaat?
@Heldure aftereffects :)
OP barring is OP
@Spazticspaz You mean Nintendo stole a lick from Fleetwood Mac?
@neek49 oh ok :D
ganz nett, wo lernt man so zu spielen?
@laxmagic55 No they are haunted by nightmares of failing at tetris
you're amazing at guitar but I dont understand the outfits
@ikeman1156 sounds nothing like any mario game song i've ever heard
it does sound like something from the nes days though
