OMG! I am 47 and have played piano since I was 4. You have a God given talent. Don't listen to the negative comments. It's BEAUTIFUL and you are truly an inspiration to young players. Stay with it, I wish I had.
I am just now able to touch the keys again after almost 15 years. I suffered a stroke 2 years ago, and have gotten just a small used upright, but to me- Its the world. Never feel you can't start again. To play a scale is my gift after two hard years of pain..the music has erased so much of it...
Beautiful. from a Julliard pianist- Bernie Taupin wrote Your Song at 17, mailed it to Elton and he wrote the music...The rest is history...Just fill my home with your piano...
Such an inspiration if there ever was one, you are...thank YOU sir. It is people like you that show me you can touch so many peoples lives and never have to say a word...simply speechless you left us ALL.
Elton John was the very first artists I listened to extensively and became an avid fan of. As a teenager in high school just a few years ago, I grew up listening to his music, even though I'm only 20 now. I have seen him twice in concert and he still manages to keep the entire audience transfixed. He is his own orchestra. You did an amazing job portraying his work here. Very well done.
I think a great choice of songs. Elton has written some wonderful music, and I agree it can seem hard to do them justice but justice I think you give them. You have a natural way of playing, and it’s always a pleasure to watch you play. I agree with another person, you do make it look so easy. I only play a little but, it’s so nice and uplifting to listen to good players as you. Thanks for the music.
He messed up a couple of times but the mistakes are so tiny that only someone with a trained ear hears them. But the music he's playing is so beautiful the voicings so complex and rich that you can ignore these. He did a wonderful job. That's for sure.
I think my favourite thing about Estonia johns music is that he uses chords in a way that no one else really does. You can just listen to the chord progressions and suddenly be like "yup that's an elton John chord" lots of 7sus chords. Sounds amazing x
totally agree,I'm a massive Elton fan and always enjoy sticking this clip on now and then.pianodoc82puts his own spin on the songs but oh plays them so beautifully
Whenever I need time to rejuvenate, relax and take my mind off some of my worries, I play your music. Thank you for sharing your gift with many of us, you are a blessing! Hugs to you and continue to spread your Aloha with the world!!!
I have loved my time as a Julliard gradute and playing medleys of all kinds..But now as I hear you play, I would change one tiny, tiny thing and that would be the speed at which you are switching songs. This is a great way to open and practice singing and with your accompaniment it is a great way to regain my breathe control etc. Just a beat slower, so the lyrics can be added. Beautiful...TY so much for this and all your other incredible medleys. Bravo!
Without falling asleep which is what I should do? No way, really, Elton John.. I'll head to bed after this. I'll be back, hopefully, to listen again. We're all blessed to get to enjoy your medleys, fantastic!
You are simply incredible... what else is there to say really. Any adulation is richly deserved. I am a musician, and I KNOW talent and artistry when I see and hear it, and you have both in abundance!! Have a wonderful day, and THANK YOIU!!
Sigh.. Theres times like now that I need some tranquility in my life, there are times of hardship, and listening to this video just helps soothe everything.. Thanks pianodoc you play really well, I hope you dont mind me listening to this video a couple of times
Please do other Elton medleys, there're songs like conquer the sun, the retreat, sweetheart on parade, whispers, and other sweet songs, like some in the big picture album which have a special value for me, I hope you'll cover nearly all Elton songs because listening at your playing is fairy, for an elton fan like me is like a cuddle at the heart.
I just have no words. This was outstanding, unbelievable, highly professional and what not. This piano guy is able to kick any other pianist's ass, both in terms of playing and arranging music. By the way, arrangements were brilliant.
I will be honest, there are 3 of these songs I haven't heard before (the likes of which being Someday Out of the Blue, Blessed, and Circle of Life). However, i do know I can play this and fall asleep immediately. You have no idea how inspiring you are not only to me, but probably to many other people in the world. Thank you.
You played this with heart ,soul & deepest feelings , i touched me realy deeply , as i would love to play like you .Thank you so much man , love to hear more .
LOVE THIS MIX! i love elton so much, even had a dream that I was in this dusty suburban section of a convenience store and figuring out which candy/gum/chocolate to buy and he walked in wearing an aubergine velvetine suit jacket, a chartreuse and orange craveat, gold platforms and bejewelled specs and danced with me to Your Song. and in the dream I magically knew all of the lyrics, and I am the worst at remembering lyrics IRL! I love his tunes, he is a living genius! other faves include (but are not limited to) Crocodile Rock, Sweet Painted Lady, Nikita, Something About the way You Look Tonight, Daniel's Song, Grey Seal (just naming a few that would translate well to piano (which you should cover) LOL) keep up the good work! SO inspiring!!! i feel like taking up piano again after 20+ years because of this compilation, she's a beaut!
SIMPLY AMAZING !!! very NICE (YOUR SONG) VERSION !!! I can play this piano song but not the way like you !! Fantastic ! Congratulations !! Great player ! Thank You for this lovely piano !
well men , you are so great , really great , in spanish beacuse i speak spanish jejej. mi pana soy de venezuela y te digo loco eres muy bueno realmente muy bueno sigue asi mejorando siempre , te escuchas muy bien , que bueno que sacastes esas interpretaciones del sir elton john , gracias por darnos ese regalo
Hi pianodoc...met your mom and dad at event the other evening...mom told me about this link and you are indeed a talent and inspiration. Thanks for sharing your gift!
When you are multi- tasking - such as cleaning the kitchen, for example, complete one chore at a time: wash all the dishes one by one, then dry them all, one by one. If you haven't already done so, play chess as a hobby using a mechanical board or an app. Eventually, play chess while you are performing other tasks, such as reading a book, but say the words out loud, without a mistake - to develop flow, focus and mental stamina - as you play chess. Meanwhile, check my grammar and syntax in this comment!
with response to this "I was a little hesitant to do it since you can't really do piano better than Elton" : To each his own style. Your interpretation is graceful, whereas Elton John's full of punch. Gd job!

Ditto
One of top 100 videos on TH-cam for music. What a talented pianist.
If I'm ever in a horrid mood, knowing I can come to youtube and listen to your beautiful medleys vastly improves my quality of life. Thank you. x
Such an inspiration if there ever was one, you are...thank YOU sir.

Damn, already 32 years old. Time goes by real fast
you are a Lucky guy to be born with such passion for something

Never heard goodbye yellow brick road like that before, truly amazing.
If Elton saw this he would be proud!!! Beautiful!! I'm just learning some new Elton songs myself, not sure if this inspires me or intimidates me!!!!
nearly 15 minutes of playing and not one note messed up, amazing!
i could watch this video repeatedly. beautiful music
He messed up a couple of times but the mistakes are so tiny that only someone with a trained ear hears them. But the music he's playing is so beautiful the voicings so complex and rich that you can ignore these. He did a wonderful job. That's for sure.

Your interpretation is graceful, whereas Elton John's full of punch.
Gd job!
