EJ was one of my greatest musical influences growing up in the 70s. Thanks for making this video!!!
Hey, that's great. Me too, although I discovered him in the 90s! One of the real greats.
What an amazing series of videos man.
Thanks for that! I'm really enjoying making them. It really requires a lot of digging and research which I love.
Great information 👍 I'm really into Elton's style of playing 🎹
Thank you, Andrew. Yes, he’s such a masterful composer, singer and piano player. I don’t even know which is the right order for those!!
This series is so good man. So clear. Really insightful and great communciation. Keep them up.
Thank you very much. I really try to make it accessible. I'll keep going!
Superb analysis! Many thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the support!
One of his most underrated songs is Mona Lisas and Mad Haters.
Thanks for the Video. I'll study it.
I must confess - I don't know either of those. You study my video and I'll go study those.. :)
@@martinfinnmusic It's one song called 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters'. :D
This is a fantastic insight into Elton John's techniques. Thank you so much!
I hope so! Thank you very much for the support. :)
Always cranking out high quality content. Thanks Martin.
Thanks for that Bill. I'm so glad you like the videos. :)
You are so talented and great at dissecting and then explaining. I love this. Thank you!
Thanks! And you are so kind to say so. Keep watching. :)
These videos are the absolute best man, I’d love to see a Bob Dylan video because I feel like even though he’s a very simple player there’s some great tracks in there like Ballad of a thin man and went to see the gypsy. Great for beginners like myself!
I'm getting so many requests to do one on Bob Dylan. I really have to start researching his different styles. Thank you.
He really influenced my piano playing, and it took me way to long to realize that. His use of sus chords and the triple feel style really changed the way I played!
Really? That's great. Me too. I just love that half time groove and I do those incidental sus chords all the time - probably way too much!
As a kid in Edinburgh I learned piano. Got my 1st classical diplomas. But I abandoned my Victorian teacher when she battered my fingers one too many times with the lid or knitting needle 😢. Beatles ending, Elton taking off at the time I would have loved to play their styles... Your explanations are clear and almost inspire me to relearn... but I'll just keep plodding on with guitar/ harmonica/ songs. See if I can inspire more kids to learn piano with you. Thanks!😊😊😊😊
Thanks, it is useful and interesting
My pleasure! Thanks
So amazing!! I hope someday you can dedicate individual videos to quick lessons of songs, just covering each chord change in this brisk style. Each of these snippets is so informative, I wish I could have a peek at the rest of each song with the same accuracy.
I may end up doing just that. People seem to like the format. Thanks for the feedback.
@@martinfinnmusic Thank you for considering! It would be a unique approach to teaching, one that you've already nearly perfected. Either way, can't wait to see more.
Hey! I just wanted to say that I really enjoy these type of videos because they help me to understand the different ways of playing the piano. It helps me a lot.
Greetings from Argentina! ❤
Glad you like them! Thanks for your support. Good luck to you from Ireland!
Merci beaucoup. Trés intérrisant.
Merci!
Great video, much appreciated.
It’s my pleasure. Stay tuned for more!!
Fantastic
Thank you!
cool lession!
Much appreciated. Thanks!
Terrific instruction - really enjoy this video!
Thank you very much for that!
Nice voice.
Thank you for that!
Very, very interesting thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for the lovely comment.
Awesome work, well done dear Martin....Bernard
Many thanks, Bernard. Really appreciate that!
An episode on Cat Stevens would be great!
I love Cat but his music is not really piano heavy. The only one I can think of is Morning Has Broken. Right?
@@martinfinnmusic His music is perhaps as piano-heavy as his singer/songwriter peers Lennon and McCartney at the time. His piano hits include, just to name a few in chronological order from 1970 through 1978 (his second stint in the music business), "Maybe You're Right", "I Think I See the Light", "Sad Lisa", "Miles from Nowhere", "Tea for the Tillerman", "Sitting", "Silent Sunlight", "Sweet Scarlet", "Foreigner Suite", "The Hurt", "How Many Times", "King of Trees", "Bad Penny", "Majik of Majiks", "Remember the Day of the Old School Yard" and "Randy". An episode on his unique piano style would be great! His hymn "Morning Has Broken" doesn't really qualify, since Rick Wakeman provided the piano bits for it in the studio on the spot.
4 styles of Brian Wilson please!!
Yes, everyone is looking for this!
Next video - the 1 style of Brian Wilson
Really? Just one? I'll have to do a deep dive and get back to you on that!
8th notes that’s BW style
Thanks for being so important to my musical education. Was really hoping for someone to explain Elton John’s amazing piano style. Also wouldn’t you mind deliberating the “And the house fell down” solo please. Or Take me to the pilot live
Hi Alexis, thank you for your kind words. I know the recorded version of "pilot" but I don't know the other one. I'll have to take a look at them..
