@randy5bass You're very welcome. I really enjoy playing this song- just wish I could sing it better. :-)

I can tell that you are a great human being and lover of music. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your generosity in posting these tutorials. I just recently got into Elton John and I have learned so much from you. Thanks a million!!

@ganjajay Hey, thanks so much for the comment, I appreciate the kind words. Very glad the videos have been helpful to you!

excellent, i will be working on this in the coming weeks. thankyou! (couldnt do the same song in G could you? Ab is out of my vocal range... haha!)

but seriously, thanks!

[pianojohn113]

@mooney11 Glad you liked it! I'm with you, Ab is way out of my range too.. so are G, F, E, and a few others.... :-)

yeah your right lol, I should of made notes. I feel like I'm dyslexic now after watching this.... :s

[blackjesuschrist]

for now, i just play the basic notes in 4 to the floor (if you will) like how you play the majority of the song, while i sing the end part. it's a cheap alternative, but i'm really struggling with that part.

[blackjesuschrist]

btw, i now can fully play the entire song, thanks to you. thanks again.

one question: the end part, where you play the intro (bridge) while singing "someone saved someone saved someone saved etc" ..... i find it really hard to sing that on beat with the keys and their rhythm. any technique for getting this part right? it's like my brain just won't multitask those two rhythms simultaneously.

[blackjesuschrist]

excellent tutorial - but i have one request for the next one:

because it's a flattened image, it was hard to see which notes you were playing sometimes. when you explain which notes they are, and you show the notes graphically, it helps, but it would be even better for someone like me if you also consistently played the right hand notes separately in succession. you did sometimes, but not every time you stopped to explain them. just a quick 1,2,3,(4) so i can hear the anatomy of the chord.
