I genuinely think the Vidami makes transcribing, analysing and learning music so much easier! It massively speeds up the process of working out exactly what a song is doing by allowing you to loop and slow down the video.
Tiny Dancer is not only regarded as one of Elton John’s finest songs, it is also noteworthy for holding off its chorus until two and half minutes in! The ‘golden rule’ of song structuring is to get to the chorus as quickly as possible, ideally in the first minute, so how has Elton managed to craft such a legendary song whilst also disregarding this typical, formulaic approach to arrangement.
