Gives me a new appreciation for Elton John for writing this
I think he put the music to it, but he doesn’t write songs
@@liamonconlocha4898
He writes the music for his songs while the lyrics are usually written by his songwriting partner and best friend, Bernie Taupin.
Amazing job. Much better than other tutorials, particularly those with the notes that float above.
Omg this dude is amazing, finally after forever if searching I found someone who shows how the ARTIST plays it not some dumb sheet music with the melody. THANK YOU
Hi Steve. Thanks brother from the UK. Really appreciate this. The fact its not edited shows integrity my friend. Showing that you make mistakes in my opinion commands alot of respect. God bless you mate and once again thank you.
8 years later and still calling it TH-cam. Thanks for creating
Thanks for this. I know it's a lot of work to film, but you don't know how much better these videos are than just Synthesia. Seeing an actual pianist using their fingers is so much better than watching coloured blocks slide in and out of view.
Just got my first piano today, have never played before. Have been following along and I’m glad you do step by step, much easier to follow.
Awesome! Glad it's helping! :-)
Perfect! One of the few tutorials which actually sounds close to the original. Well done :)
Thankyou for running through again and again saving me rewinding over and over. made me smile every time.
You are so extremely talented taking on these iconic songs and breaking them down for us. Thank you from a fellow music lover.
Hey this tutorial has helped alot in learning this song. it's different than any other in how it's played. I really like it! thanks!
I graduated from boot camp the day b4 you posted this video. ithink. thanks for posting
This is awesome Steve, thanks for taking the time to do this.
Fantastic tutorial Steve ! Thank you 😊
Watching in 2020 still TH-cam
Great tutorial, more Elton John please
I’ve learned so many songs from you. Better than any teacher I’ve ever had. I love Elton John and I’ve wanted to learn Tiny Dancer but the tutorials are pretty hard to understand. Could you do that one next?
This is great, thank you so much!! You're a wonderful teacher.💖
Your tutorials are awesome! Thanks so much
Literally how every musician should deconstruct songs and create tutorial videos for them. Very well done 👍
Dude ur version of this song is amazing and I'm barely realizing ur the same guy doing this tutorial!! Much love n respect , I'm riding the bus excited to get home and play this. You make this so simplified and easy to understand. Thank you for this video 💯💯💯💯
Perfect tutorial! Thanks Steve!
Good lesson!
I'd like to say that I truly admire your approach, I'm a guitar player predominantly, but I'm also learning Piano and keyboards as well mainly because Piano and Keyboard players are hard to come by, and someone has to do it. but this is great and I hope you will post more than this one song
Great lesson!
And I find that the best way I learn is exactly the way you teach!
Amazing, thank you so much!
Hi Steve, only just seen your videos this week. Just learnt the introduction and really love the tutorial! Good work fella. Looking forward to perfecting this song. Cheers and best wishes from Manchester UK!
Luke Twigden how are you with it now?
Amazing!!!, a lot of thanks Steve
Amazing. Thank you so much. I thought it was going to be harder than that but there aren't a lot of flats and sharps. I think I can do this.
nice bro , thats HYPER ! ty for your time
dude you lessons are amazng , so so good
Thank you!
Wish this guy was my piano teacher
Seven years later and I'm still watching this on TH-cam haha
Cheers mate
Hey just thought I'd let you know that the note that you play right before the cord comes in (like the B flat at 7:20) is called a grace note, or a flam. I've heard grace note more in piano, but flam everywhere else. Not trying to be a snob I just wanted to give you the term to describe it.
I’m here in 2020 and want to thank you for this
Good.
Watching this February 2017! TH-cam still here 😂
February 2021 :)
Thanks !!!
You're welcome! :-)
Ah, man?! What do you mean you are not perfect! :-D This is a great tutorial. That trill from Bb to B is something a lot of piano players fail to play correctly.
Any idea when part 2 will arrive….Part 1 super.!!
Hey Steve. You recreate Elton John so well and I thank you for showing the intricacies of what he is really doing on that piano. However, I think your videos would be greatly enhanced if they were made more concise. I think there is a lot of information in your videos and that is great, but at this level of piano, learners of this type of song should know how to make a first inversion C chord for instance. This way, we would be able to get through and learn what matters in a fraction of the time!
Once again, thank you for your videos, I owe my ability to play at least 3 Elton songs to you!
I appreciate the input and will keep it in consideration. However, I think those with more advanced skills underestimate the number who tune in who need that level of detail and deliberation.
Could you please do a lesson on crocodile rock
Do you think you could do a tutorial on "Ticking' off the Caribou album ??
Watching 8 years later
I like letting my finger hit the b flat and just sort of slipping off of it onto the b.
fantastic ¡¡¡
I have the sheet music... But look at me here. Thank you so much. The intro is not complete on the sheet music
How do you play middle c?
Yep still TH-cam almost 10 years later!
LOL....I think I'm starting to get the hang of making videos ;-)
Hi Steve. When I play the little grace note from Bb to B on the second measure, it's too loud because my fourth finger is so much stronger than my 5th. So the B ends up being overshadowed by the Bb (even though I don't sustain the Bb). Any suggestions?
I know this is months old yet many black to white key flams like this are best played by sliding the same finger down to the next key.
Do you have sheet music?
Danny Finnegan watch and you'll find out :o

Please help me with a basic theory question i have. Why does E (on the left hand) has consonance with the B, A and G chords on the right hand???
Can you give me a time stamp so I have a reference as to where in the song you’re referring to please?
@@PianoManSteve Sure. 11:00. This is just an example. I guess my question is. Why is it possible to play different chords on the right hand with just one bass note on the left...i just don't get it.
I know about basic theory, intervals and stuff. But i just don't get that yet
Ok....good question. I'll try to do my best to answer in a comment. When you get into more complex chords, one of the things you'll learn is that chords can be played intentionally with unusual bass notes...sometimes over the 3rd or 5th of the chord, but also sometimes over notes that don't even appear in the chord voicing at all. It is less common to be sure, but sometimes an odd bass note creates a really unusual sound that is exactly what the writer is looking for. In the sequence you're talking about, the chord changes because the piano is playing a signature line, and therefore is playing both chords AND the melody.....the chord shifts from Em7 to Am and then back to Em7, and the bass note stays the same on an "E".....so if it were written out in chord symbols it would look like, "Em7 Am/E Em7", and those changes occur rapidly in the same measure following the top line melody of that signature intro. I hope that helps clear it up....Elton uses odd bass notes far more often than most rock/pop songwriters....a trait he picked up from both Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and Lennon/McCartney.
@@PianoManSteve Oh you are right. That part goes Em7 to Am to G chord. And thank you. Your answer helped me understand a little bit more!
your tutorial is very good but i don't like that sound of piano for elton
the shawn cheek tutorial of that song is for me better because he uses a real piano sound
Well...thanks for the feedback LOL
It's only been nine years so we shouldn't count our eggs before they hatch.....😅
