Elton John - Madman Across the Water cover

My arrangement and a departure from my usual style, but after a frustrating day this song just errupted.
I've changed the key and tuned down a half a step - and then totally Brianized it!
Hope I'm not ruining anyones favorite Elton John song from the Madman Across the Water albumn. I've always loved it.
Poor Honey...I banged the heck out of her.

@AidsMachine1 - Thanx for listening man. Glad you enjoyed this one..it was a weird day, and it seems few are hitting the like button, but hey, I like it. It's gotten responses on both ends of the spectrum. At least folks are moved one way or the other..lol.

I love the way you play the marmonics, very brave and brilliantly done, it knocks spots off my attempt at this song. Great voice as well.

Hey you were excellent!!! You really got into it, a great song by one of my favorite artists. Keep on chooglin.

Great arrangement, it's difficult to sing in the original key, and it has a couple of irregular chord changes.

Brian, that was awesome!

@kimbalcross - I've always loved how Sir Elton puts himself into a song emotionally. That guitar was still new so I flubbed a bit but I liked the harmonics on it better than my Martin so I chose the Guild. I'm playing her a bit better now that I've had some time to jam on it. Glad I didn't disappoint you on a favorite song of yours, cuz I totally Brianized it! Thanx for commenting.
