At least a piano tutorial explaining chords instead of raindrops of notes as if playing piano was a video game! Thanks a lot for this tuto it is the best!!
June 12th today. My wedding day is August 9th. Will try to learn this beautiful masterpiece to perform on the big day for my wife to be, this is our favorite song. Thank you so much for this great tutorial!
Thank you so much for this! My wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and as a present I used this video to play her favorite song. I had almost no piano experience and little by little I used this video to perform it after practicing for about 3 months. With this new knowledge I'm feeling up to tackling more piano goodness! You are awesome for sharing!
The thumbnail says "accurate chords". That's why I clicked on it. And much to my delight, that is 100% true. I have been playing this song since 1971 when I was 10 and it was new! If you really want to learn this song - look no further. You have found a great teacher...chord based, the way Elton John plays nearly everything. I even picked up a couple of things I had missed, thank you for this. ; )
Your instruction style is a refreshing change... not too much not to little. Love that you wrote out the chords in your video description as well. Nicely done. Tackle Love Lies Bleeding for your next 👍
I saw elton in concert and it was like the highlight of my life! so excited to learn this!! you are so talented!! Im sure it took so so much hard work to get to that point so slay!! I know it doesn’t mean anything from a rando on the internet but Im genuinely so proud of you. God bless and Jesus loves y’all!!
Excellent tutorial for a brilliant song for the piano!!! Having chords shown makes it so much easier. You helped make learning this song SO much easier - thanks!!
Can't believe it's taken so long to actually sit down and learn this, it's surprisingly simple for intermediate players. Thanks, I enjoy your lessons especially The long and winding road!
I have very basic knowledge of piano, but playing it helped me a lot in this quarantine, it kept me sane lmao. But fr, this song is one I always wanted to learn so let's go
Thank you very much for this amazing tutorial. I'm brazilian and I was searching for a tutorial that could help me to play one of my favorite songs in the world. I really enjoy the way you teach! Please keep going with these wonderful tutorials. ❤
Am😁😁😁so happy see your video, i was able learn this beautiful song ... Am a very beginner into keyboard and I was able pick it up .... Thank you so much...
Thank you for making this! I've been wanting to learn this one for a while and i was intimidated but breaking it down this way really helped me a lot :-)
this is a lovely tutorial!! i'm determined to learn to play and record it today bc tomorrow is my best friend's bday and this is kinda "our song" 😝 fingers crossed 🤞
Hi Francesca. Your channel has re-ignited my love of keyboarding. Would you please consider putting a tutorial out for, 'Desperado' - by the Eagles? - It's one of my all-time faves - and a classic! Thanks and keep up the great work!
You must be so proud off yourself. I almost near finishing a song off I love playing and learning from great musicians such as yourself your inspirational because not only you can play but you also can teach very well and makes me want to learn more songs from yourself I personally thank you for taking the time out and upload your videos and now I have signed up to your subscription and hit the like button so keep up the excellent work, Amazing!
@@paulwhite4319 Thank you for your very kind words! It's very encouraging :) I really enjoy making these tutorials and believe everyone should have access to free music tuition! So pleased you're gaining a lot of value from my videos.
Hi there! I have just found your channel and I love your videos! They are so constructive and helpful! I am going back to playing the piano seeing as our school is shut. Thanks so much and I appreciate the effort you put into these! 😄 Edit - I love Elton John! This one is my fav
A great tutorial as usual! I'd just like to know more about the part where you give the chords more rhythm and melody, since when I try to do that seems like I'm just hitting random keys and I guess there should be something to improvise those rhythms, are there any videos explaining this?
I love your style of teaching 🎹…I’m a beginner to intermediate player level and would love to see some Orr lessons from Elton John…also would love to start learning some slow blues rhythms and right hand lead runs licks etc ❤
@@livelongandprosper70 I find his comment/feedback to be very valuable and useful, as it tells me the effectiveness of my tutorials. I applaud his progress :) I don't believe he made this comment to show off!
@@livelongandprosper70 That would be useful to know if I had taught that in the tutorial. Genuine constructive feedback is useful to ANY creator, particularly educational content. I want to create tutorials that are genuinely useful to people, and so if someone tells me they had success with it, that tells me must be doing something right.
@@livelongandprosper70 I'm really not sure what your issue is. He never proclaimed that he was Beethoven and he didn't know it. He was LITERALLY just giving ME feedback on the effectiveness of my tutorial and how it helped him. Which MANY other people comment similar comments on my videos as well as other channels. It's called positive feedback. You don't need to get so offended by it. Maybe applaud people for their achievements instead of dragging them down.
Hi, thanks for your tutorials, with your help I’ve managed to learn Your Song and Trouble. I was wondering if you would consider making a tutorial of Jealous Guy? That would make me a Thankfull Guy. 🙂
Maybe it would be fun to do some of Elton John’s classical music influenced songs. ‘I Need You To Turn To’ and ‘The Greatest Discovery’ for example. Those are great song!
Great tutorial. Can you do one for Song for Guy sometime, please? I've yet to find a score for it that sounds anything like the way Elton plays it. I have learned to play it, but an 'easy' version. I have tried adding some extra notes to the chords, but it still doesn't sound right.
Thanks very much very good video, only criutique i have is that it is a bit hard to see what keeys you play, so something like a orange/blue colour on the keys that you play so it's a little easuer to follow along. Otherwise very good video! Thanks for the coolness i have gained!
I'm afraid that would require me to spend a hell of a lot of extra editing time. I do put which notes I'm playing on the top screen, so write them down. Please remember my tutorials are free. Extra time editing means less content I'd be able to put out. My newer tutorials from the past year or so are much clearer. Thanks.

Bitesize Piano BENNIE AND THE JEYSS
Hey jude
Best part about learning Elton’s songs is that he never plays them the same way so there’s no wrong way of playing it.
Exactly! 😆🎹
At least a piano tutorial explaining chords instead of raindrops of notes as if playing piano was a video game!
Thanks a lot for this tuto it is the best!!
You're very welcome, so pleased you found it helpful :) no Tetris notes here! :p
@@BitesizePiano exactly that, f...g tetris, Ah ah!
I was thinking the same exact thing.

That's amazing! I bet she loved it :)
That's amazing! How did you practice without her knowing?
I’m getting married in March and am hoping to learn to play this for her as a surprise. Is it hard to learn with 0 piano experience?
great, I'm planning to play this for my wife's birthday this year.
Saw Rocketman last night. I’m determined to learn this. Wish me luck
I still need to go see it! More Elton tutorials soon methinks! :)
It's been 3 weeks now. How is it going?
Look4John Animates pretty well actually, thanks. Think I’m pretty much there
This video makes it a lot easier to understand than regular sheet music! Hope it's going well for you!
Same I watched rocketman 3 times in the last 2 days and I REALLY want to learn this!
