- "Sacrifice" is a ballad performed by musician Elton John. The lyrics are by Bernie Taupin and the music by John. The song appears on the 1989 album Sleeping with the Past. It was first released in October 1989, then in 1990, and was the second single from the album. It achieved success, particularly in France and the UK, where it became his first solo chart-topper, spending five weeks at the top.
I hope you enjoy my instrumental.

I never ever thought that there would be one guitarist that could be so talented to play so beautifully as this man Goeff. Thank you so much. Don't ever stop playing.
Класні мелодіі, люблю таке звучання гітари...всі мелодіі чудові, дякую!!!
Так приємно, що вам вони сподобалися.
Це мелодіі 70-х, минулого сторіччя?!..мені вони завжди подобалися!
Был юнешей делал гитары и усилители. Добивался звука Ваших гитар. Всё это было в 60 и 70 - Х годах. Вы братья моей юности. Мы хиповали а я играл то что вы сейчас играете. Аппаратура слабенькая была но девчонки были в восторге.. Сердце щимит и радуется. С Уважением ко всем свободным и спокойным Сергей сын Александра рождённый у родника реки Иня в глубокой сибирской
Это были прекрасные времена, мой друг. Я играл в некоторых местных группах в 60-х, но без особого успеха.
@@geoffers47 Спасибо за внимание. Вы профиссионалы. Древние говорили - чтобы стать великим не надо делать дюжину умных вещей, надо делать что - то одно но очень хорошо... Это про Вас друзья мои. Ваша музыка меняет психологию людей в нашей деревне. Думаю надо организовать как в 60-х клуб. Купить аппаратуру, вспомнить молодость., взбодриться наших девушек. Молодёжь, после ушедших в небытие ДИСКОКЛУБЫ, ждут от нас соприкосновения с настоящей музыкой от души.
С Уважением к Вам мои друзья, к свободным и спокойным. Сергей сын Александра рождённый у родника реки Иня в глубокой сибирской деревни Инюшка.
Absolument nous avons devant nous un véritable génie,la grande classe,merci pour ce clin d’œil à Elton!
They say Hank Marvin makes a guitar talk, you make yours talk, sing, dance and bring my soul to life. Thank you so much!
Kind of you to say Philip. Thank you!
SACRIFICE je jedna od najdražih pjesama od Johna. Lijepo si je izveo dragi prijatelju. Čovjek ne može ne slušati tako divnu melodiju!! Savršen posao dragi Geoff, užitak je čuti tvoje izvedbe! Hvala najljepša!!❤❤💯💯💫💫👍👍🙏🙏🧓🙋♀🙋♀💐💐
Tako mi je drago da si uživala Barbara
The more number of times i listen it the more melodious it becomes....
Thats real magic sir.
Thank you!
Geoff you feel the music perfectly and play it! I only recently got acquainted with your work. I will only say one thing-thank you very much for being here! Health to you!
Thanks for you appreciation.
The first 🎸 I heard was Chet Atkins... Dad would be listening right now and telling me to click *replay*...👌👍👍😁😁...and the rebel in bratty me would come back with a "But, Dad!!!!! The handphone's in your ✋!" 😄😄
He was a tenor, played the harmonica, clarinet and saxophone. The first song he taught me was Mario Lanza's The Donkey Serenade.. 😅😅my poor Mom not just had to put up with one but two wannabes in the home.
Geoff, you don't need to reply for I know how impossible it is to answer to everyone of us appreciative fans to your superb music.
Take good care of yourself 👌. God Bless You with many good years of Good Health and pure joy of strumming 🙏🤭....golly, I AM a chatterbox 😅😅
Not easy, but i always try to reply to those i feel a certain connection with.
I've made some good friends here on TH-cam, (and enemy's. lol.) and personally met a few!
My family were not at all musical, apart from singing in church, and dad considered all "pop music" to be rubbish and said "it would never last". My Mom liked Mario Lanza, and i remember her going to see "The Student Prince"
Probably the only time we had a babysitter. lol.
Best wishes from another chatterbox!!!
IreneMy : You are honest & true ....exactly the sentiments I feel towards Geoff.....a great artist ...will never be forgotten as long as his music is online !
Congratulations Mister !! It was M A G N I F I Q U E !! Merci pour cette merveilleuse interprétation .

I HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN! FANTASTIC RENDITION OF A BEAUTIFUL SONG! YOU'RE TRULY A GIFTED MAN AND TALENTED. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS GEOFF!
Thank you for your kind words Robert. Very much appreciated.
Those times, where artists were known not for their bed affairs, but because of the music they created.
I could not wish for a better interpretation of this classic.
God speed, Geoff!

Many thanks my friend.
Geof it's good to be associated with a star since I've always loved the guitar. It really means so very much to stay in touch. Thx. For all the compliments on my poems. It's a blessing to hear beautiful songs that you play almost every single day. I've learned to play, Apache, The Last of The Mohicans, A love so beautiful, Lonely Street, El Condor Pasa, and others. Thx. Again.
Thx. Geof.
Hermoso,gracias señor Geoff. Lovely
Muy contento de que lo disfrutes Angelina.
Geof that Sacrafice so wonderfully nice! I like it so much I'll listen twice! Elton would love to hear your special rendition that's done with great intention to bring love to this troubled world and that's why I'll give it whirl. Thx. Geof.
It's kind of you to say so Steve, and leave a comment before you leave.
I try my best, as you well know, and pleased to hear you like the "show"!
Yes Geof thx. I'm playing some songs on my guitar and writing poetry. Yours are some of my favorites like Last of the Mohicans, Apache, Bridge over Troubled Water, and others. My picking.out songs for instrumental playing is getting better. Thx
True music played by a true musician. Music just for the love and joy of music! Even by your high standards Geoff, this was a masterpiece of wonderful guitar happiness!

Oh doamne super armonie patrunzatoare în suflet si în gind. Pace pre pământ.
I just love guitar cover versions of hit songs. first got hooked on a UK guitarist David Monk and Ricky King, and you are the latest discovery. I don't know if you do requests,but one of my favorites is The Power of Love. Looking forward to watching your next videos.
Hi Noel. Welcome to my channel. Dave Monk is an institution, Lol, and has helped me out over the years.
I don't play requests, as i get so many, but i played The Power of Love many moons ago!

Vielen Dank für Ihre letzten Kommentare, mein Freund.
Hello, Geoff you play beautifully, I'm from Brazil, I recently retired and with the pandemic I'm not leaving the house, you inspired me to learn to play the guitar I'm already playing some like Ghost Riders In the Sky, Santa Maria de Guadeloupe etc. Gratitude. God bless you.
Many thanks Wagner. Keep practicing my friend.
Don't forget to play Santa Maria de guadeloupe my friend....anytime anywhere and anyhow.... I love that song so very much. 🙏🌟🙏🌟
@@alexsanderherly9661 Yes I am already playing reasonably. This song is really beautiful. Thank you answer, a big hug.
@@wagnerpereira9536 you are very welcome.
Today I played The Last of the Mohicans and A Love so BeUtiful. Geof has inspired me to pick on until the brink of dawn even though sometimes I must yawn. His music soothes the soul and fills a hole to bring about peace in a special way. Yes I love to hear him play. A little Rocket Man fits in well with his guitar plan!!!!😁🤩😛😁😼
Thank you for your kind words Steve! They are very much appreciated my friend.
