As a complete beginner I thought the music of Elton John was completely inaccessible to me. Thanks for proving me wrong and opening up a whole new world and way of learning.
You are the man, man. I'm (70yr old) struggling with Love Letters : Ketty Lester. I 've found the chords from various online sites, and listen to endless replays section by section loops. I can busk it, but fail every time I play it, I just can't remember the song from end to end, even though I know where everything goes. Bennie And The Jets would be off the scale memory wise.
Love your teaching method, and I won't give up trying, and trying and trying...nothing moves me more than playing piano tunes that I write.
Love your style of lessons and would like to see some slow blues lessons with simple left hand chords with right hand runs and licks ❤🎶🎹
this is hands down one of the best breakdowns of this song. I wanted to use this song as a way to improve my improvisation and most videos are very surface level. Thank you for demonstrating the more subtle moves Elton makes.
Great Job on Your Lesson 🎶🎶
Thank you for the lessons, learning a lot about music. Love it.
Finally someone who’s analyzing Eltons, Piano, playing style. Great video! I’m also a Billy Joel fan, can you make a video comparing Billy Joel with Elton John‘s style and techniques at the piano? Thanks for sharing, I subscribed.
Yes, great idea. I would say, the main difference between the two is what work they choose to release and how they release it. Billy Joel is very eclectic, he would change styles and themes in different albums, and in the early 90's he said, that's it, I've got nothing else to say. Elton in contrast, is very prolific, and more autobiographical, willing to take experiments that failed, willing to release lesser material in worse parts of his career, and sticking to a lot of production trends of his day. Both are epic artists. A seminar awaits on this topic, when I get the chance.
Fantastic lesson and playing, Thank you Tom
Great presentation there most inspiring for anyone to be encouraged. Trent/ Australia
Great lesson and playing, Thanks.
Thanx! Great stuff.
Awesome lesson!
I recently bought Elton John sheet music but I’m not that great at sight reading (yet) and it’s thick in notation. This is very helpful love the explanations.
That’s so cool! I’m signing up! There’s a gazillion lessons & players out there, but you hit a note with me! BRAVO! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎹👍🏽
Very well constructed and explained lesson with wide reasoning and beautiful interpretations.
Will enjoy learning a lot getting more familiar with this video. Cheers from Australia
Glad it was helpful!
Love all of Elton John piano lessons you can send my way…but also I’m a beginner when it comes to learning the blues style and boogie Woogie…can you send a lesson for me to begin slow blues style with right hand runs and licks with bass chords to accompany 🎹❤
Hi ’ Excellent vidéo lesson ’ you make my joy’ thanks you very much’ thanks you !!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Many thanks Viktor
Nice walk through of Benny and the Jets. It would be great if you could go through the piano solo that Elton plays in this song.
In the solo, Elton is mainly improvising on the G major blues scale (with some minor blues as well) Bare in mind, he never plays it the same way twice but that's the formula he uses.
@@contemporaryschoolofpiano Thanks, that’s a helpful place to start. Elton uses grace notes, thirds, and trills. I’m wondering what he does in his left hand during the solo - octaves, 5ths, chords? There’s just so much in this solo to learn from.
@@jhn1987 it would mainly be chords in the middle register of the piano, it's very much a jazz-styled texture, left-hand chords in the middle register so as to not interfere with the bass player. In the 1973 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road recording, the end of the solo in the right hand is an E, G tremolo if my memory serves me correctly.
Thanks
Thankyou very much appreciated. Reach out to me at tom@contemporaryschoolofpiano.com, we have a little treat to say thank you for your support.

If I don't have the major 7ths down yet, can I just play the G and F major chords?
Yes you could but it will unfortunately lose alot of character in the song. In many pop songs though removing the 7ths will not make a huge difference, this song is a bit different. Are you having difficulty getting your fingers around 7ths chords? If so there are a few work arounds.
@@contemporaryschoolofpiano so far, yes, but I will work on that. thanks.
