I finally got my broken flip camera replaced, and I'm excited to do some more lessons for you guys. This is a lesson on all the various parts of the the song.. (not the song in its entirety). It's only designed to be a starting point for you to build on. After learning these parts it should be much easier to pick up things by ear from the record or live version. I hope this helps and feel free to leave a comment or a song request. Thanks

This is great. My wife and I record in the winter and she picked this tune (one of my favorite albums is 11 17 70). I play guitar, bass and drums and passable piano. This really helped figure out those cool little rolls and pickup notes. To the 8 thumbs down folks, go soak your head.

That’s an amazing live album. People don’t realize they were a piano based power trio on the early tours. Even if you took away Elton’s funky polyrhythmic playing that could carry a gig on its own... you have one of the best bass and drum duo’s the music world has ever known. Dee and Nigel were on fire that night. Perhaps they were using some performance enhancing drugs.

@@tylerthompson1842 Totally agree. I love the bass playing on that record. It's almost like pre-Jaco. At times it sounds like a fretless. As for the drumming, it's great too but it's got that terrible 70's 'hitting the oatmeal bucket' tone that was popular back then.

Nice job. I love this song. I am a new piano player and would love to learn this sometime. A little out of my league but always good to strive.

Thanks for this series. I was working it out by ear but my mp3 of the song is one I ripped from vinyl and as a result it's a little muddy. I had the key right and have the right hand part of the intro just about down but the left hand part is really hard to decipher with my copy. Great job breaking it down! 👍👍👍👍 Of all Elton John's albums "Elton John" and "Tumbleweed Connection" have been my absolute favorites since I was 9 years old - waaaayyyy back in 1971-2. Thanks again!

I was wrong there are 2 songs that made me want to learn piano. Or really more accurately. 2 albums, Tumbleweed connection and mad dogs and Englishmen. Thanks for the great beginner lessons.
