Elton John - Levon

[rockroland22]

That is just simply an amazing rendition. I have just started to learn this song in the last few weeks. How long did it take you to do that so well and which sheet music did you use before you added your own touch to it?

[Njg43]

Great cover ! Willing to purchase a transcription if possible of at least first 25 seconds of song. Thanks love to hear back from you .

[hockeyshot999]

Wow that was great! =] I hate to criticize this (it's better than I could ever play) but do you feel that you played it a little fast? You had a couple slip ups it seemed because of the speed. Overall it was amazing though, keep up the good work =]

[qaucodos129045]

this is awesome

[xbox7888iscool]

hmm... the sound of the keyboard sounds weird... the low notes need to be more deep, just my opinion.... nice playin tho!!

[glasgowrus]

Love it! 

[scottegm1]

That was really great!! Kept me glued to the computer. Is there any sheet music to play this?

[scottegm1]

Nice Job!

[Beatles7962]

What model is your keyboard? Looks similar to mine.

[PianoPedies]

@Beatles7962 Yamaha PF-500. I really love the tone. I recently got a Roland RD700GX which is definitely better but I still enjoy playing this Yamaha.

[Beatles7962]

@PianoPedies It does have a great sound. Keep up the great work :)

[80sman14]

[tommy6777]

I really love this guys style.God i wish i could play piano.

[doulos737]

Great job on this classic Elton/Bernie composition! I just started trying to play it and this will help... Thanks! :)

[cascarrabias13]

I like singing with this track, nice job!

[monkusbee]

holy smokes! you rule the world...

[joemchang]

I got it! you ARE Elton John! except youre at home in shorts

[joemchang]

are you a piano teacher?

[gooru2u]

Excellent Playing, would have love ot hear some vocal to accompany the wonderful full ensemble.

[alreltney]

I love the obligatory walk up to the empty piano, kinda gives it some drama.

[ctbxchris]

sheet music?

[emil077c]

Very good piano cover!!!

5/5

[vodkashana]

How anyone can rate this less than five stars is beyond me. Absolutely phenomenal.

[chickenhookswitch]

dude, you nailed it, dead on the origional!

[trailmix1234]

Nicely done

[aaronfromhastings]

Thanks for this. I never noticed how many F7ths before. I must play more of them.

[AnaAirplane]

woah.

so talented.

[jungleboiyt]

good job sir!! =) one of the "truest to Elton" versions on here! And I'm an Elton connoisseur, so I know these things! lol. I DO agree with the comment below about the missing lead-line. Buuut, seems like your intention is mainly piano-playing.. and at that, you're rockin man! ;-) I can't sing a lick (UGH!) so even though I tried (just) one (so far) Elton song on here, I HIGHLY recommend ear plugs, to ANYone that listens!!!! : )~ But again, you have EJ's playing style down pat on this. applauds!

[francescotuba]

La più bella cover di questo stupendo brano che ho ascoltato su youtube. Spero di mettere in rete la mia. Ma sono italiano e non credo di riuscire a rendere l'esecuzione con feeling britannico. Bravissimo.

[pinuz90]

simply fantastic....

[slough66]

Very nice!

[aviator408]

Very nice!!!

[salena32192]

this is amazing, you are amazing at piano. its so pleasant to listen to. i watched this over and over again. i love this song so much, one of my favorites. keep up the great work!

~Salena Lee

[mrlordclaude]

Really good work, but (me now being very picky) please can you either play the lyrics as well, or sing, as its is missing this fundamental melody part. Hope this is constructive as it is meant.

[bowser2295]

wow great nice! i need a tutorial!!!! does any1 no of 1??? i cant find one :( ...

[nprovench]

go to shawncheekeasy 's channel

he has one there

[metransion]

the song is about a strained father and son relationship- a dad you holds onto tradition and a son who longs to break with such confines. No batter what Levon (the father) believes in "tradition" Notice the word play..

He shall Be Levon (believe on)

Taupin in great!

[jungleboiyt]

wow! i never noticed that!! "Be-lieve on" =) hmm i wonder if Taupin actually had that in mind? Wouldnt surprise me. Wow, after aaaaall these years, and you pointed that out! thanks ;-)

[ShugKnight6]

ear*

[ShugKnight6]

That is unbelievable. Sounds like Elton John himself playing. Did you learn to play that all by hear?

[ufraga]

Very very nice job, man! As a student/player of Elton's music, I gotta say you nailed this one great!

[COCOPUFF093]

this is good. do you know what this song is about? i never knew.

[ivoryman996]

Its about an old man who faught in a war. Since, he has started a family business in which his son is a major part. But his son wants to do something else in his life. But is held back by keeping his father happy with the buisiness.

[originaldwight]

hello. my advice would be to go easy on the pedal :) your fingerwork is good, but the tune gets pretty blurred (it might be caused by the mic, but I don't think so)

[ichiris]

incredible. you need a good vocalist friend.

[this3bitch3is3back]

Ver Good......very good.....

[jivechump]

beautiful! anyone know of a Levon tutorial?

[RuskNation61]

Wow, I had no idea that song is so complicated! Great job!

[JiggaG]

i like those slippers? good stuff man

[stratman123]

Where is the meter all through the intro? It's straight 4/4 time.

The original is also played quite delicately. It's obvious you can play the song, but I think the perfomance would benefit from slowing to the original tempo and reviewing the dynamics of Elton's recording.

Good job!

[metalmadefaery]

My favorite song !!!!-Tabitha<3

[padude64]

You should go into the music field!

[mykulc]

This one was a little better than yer Candle In The Wind. Maybe a little less FULL chords would give it a 'cleaner' sound IMO. But cool enuff as it is!

[padude64]

Great job and I am a true Elton Fan!

[PianoPedies]

Thanks, it's one of my favorites to play.

[knot4reel91]
