Level 1


"Level 1" refers to the iconic overworld theme from Super Mario Bros., the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System platformer directed by Shigeru Miyamoto. Composed by Koji Kondo, this melody is one of the most recognized pieces in video game history. For electric guitar players, it is an excellent beginner-to-intermediate study piece, offering a catchy single-note melody, opportunities to experiment with chord arrangements, and a fun entry point into video game music transcription.

  • Super Mario Bros. was released in 1985 for the NES, making this theme over four decades old and still widely recognized.
  • The overworld theme is commonly arranged for guitar in both fingerpicking and single-note lead styles, making it versatile across skill levels.
  • Learning this melody is a popular first project for guitarists exploring video game music, given its short, repetitive, and memorable phrasing.
