If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're literally Elton John in a different person's body! No seriously, the way you sing and the way you play the piano, solo and everything, is almost 100% identical to Elton himself! Heck, you even got Elton's signature live piano sound down! Seriously, you are phenomenal and I loved every second of this extraordinary cover! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for recognising what I do. Very kind of you. This is one of my older videos, please check out the newer ones and let me know your thoughts!
this is amazing!!! This is for sure the best cover for this amazing music i've ever seen, I listen to this at least once a day. This is amazing! Even after so many years, this is awesome!!
Absolutely spot on pal.. I hope u r an elton john tribute act. . if u aint. . u definitely should! .. I would kill to play piano like that! ! u rock!!!
DANG! You're awesome! (I read the comments below and I hope you reread TheAmazeer's comment again. He was saying YOU'RE great but the recording isn't that good. BUT I'm listening and watching it. If you can get people to watch the whole video when it's like this.. IMAGINE how many more will love it with a different video) Your piano playing is incredible and you GOT IT with the song. PLAY IT AGAIN MAX! ;)
This was beyond awesome! You nailed the way Elton plays it solo!! Love the way you do the same body movements as Elton. You deserve professional recording equipment. I would love to hear you play this again with the equipment
Will Butter thanks. I have a home studio setup! I always intended this RUclips channel to be like a doodle pad really! Thanks for the kind words about the playing - please check out my site atributetoelton.co.uk
Great cover!! I would love to hear you incorporate more of the bass line into the chorus. That bass drives the entire song and I miss it when it's not there. Just my two cents.
Thank you - it is such an old video now!! I learned Elton’s style by ear, study, transcription, thousands on concert tickets and plenty of practice! That video was recorded long before I even thought about putting my Elton tribute together.
great job! b.t.w. should you and I pursuit doing a part at tunes mashups with Bandhub :) I almost always record drums ;) You and I should get together to give it a try! It must be awesome!
This is exactly the piano bit I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can pick up sheet music or something? I don't want the interpretive stuff. I want something that you're supposed to sing on top of. Exactly like this!
Started off at age 4, used to work things out by ear etc, then took lessons, then studied music at university… with a copious amount of performing throughout.
it's been 9 years! Still one of the best covers!!!!
Thanks; I’ve come a long way since this one.

Not a problem. You, my friend, have just gotten another subscriber. Never stop playing! =)
Great job, Elton John! :)
You're absolutely fantastic - an amazingly talented musician! Bravo, bravo!!
You're very kind. Thank you.
this is amazing!!! This is for sure the best cover for this amazing music i've ever seen, I listen to this at least once a day. This is amazing! Even after so many years, this is awesome!!
It’s an old video now but thanks
One thing I love is that you have the Elton John head -turn-to-the -right move down pat. Great job. I wish you had a tutorial on this! Well done!
Haha! It's totally subconscious!
Absolutely spot on pal.. I hope u r an elton john tribute act. . if u aint. . u definitely should! .. I would kill to play piano like that! ! u rock!!!
What a comment. Thanks mate! Check out my other vids!
This is the best cover of this song!! Wish it were higher quality
Thanks … it’s an ancient vid now. Please have a look at my others
Still the best cover I've seen on RUclips--2018
It was perfect! I've never seen that before 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Holy Shit that was amazing!!! Keep it up man!!!!!! Fire!!!
Thanks so much man!
This was epic !
Cheers! It’s an ancient video now
BRAVO! I really need to play this song!
Yeah, that left hand, that's Elton playing like that. I could never get it.
Great body expression! You're very talented! You should give yourself a shot to become a great artist! ^^
I did :)
Hats off to you!! That was some awesome keys and vocals!! Great job!!
Amazing! You're so talented!
Thanks for commenting on this very old video.
@@eltontothemaxFull of the new videos are also great 😃👍🏼
great cover Max ,love the solo version
Im trying to learn this and i have trouble keeping time especially on the intro.
great job and perfect elton style(intro,start and 2.53..)amazing!!!
The tempo is right as well as he started playing slower in 2001.
great song

Dude you're great!
really good
People must LOVE you at parties!
They prefer me at gigs I think 😊
@@eltontothemax You deserve sold out stadiums!!!
@@grazutissmith9647 so kind. Thank you :)
You should make a new video with a better mic because it's really good !
There is one on the channel.
Perfect！
Great cover!! I would love to hear you incorporate more of the bass line into the chorus. That bass drives the entire song and I miss it when it's not there. Just my two cents.
ryanjwebb Thanks man, just playing it similarly to how EJ plays it solo :)
Max Bresnahan I understand. The bass line is played by a bass guitar, not a piano. Just a thought was all! : )
Great!!!!
Faultless both piano & vocals
Gorgeous cover!!!!
Thank you! Please check out the other stuff :)
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!! I wish I could play like that!!!
MrOilbarron Thanks very much.
❤️
Thank you :)
I'm speechless... BRAVO!👏🏽👏🏽
This a fantastic cover, always wanted to play his live versions of the song on my piano. Is there a tutorial? Or how did you learn this?
Thank you - it is such an old video now!! I learned Elton’s style by ear, study, transcription, thousands on concert tickets and plenty of practice!
That video was recorded long before I even thought about putting my Elton tribute together.
@@eltontothemax im really glad you decided to become a tribute Elton, it fits you great and you have his talent. Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏼
@@Topshot_1 very kind of you to say - I love what I do. Just wish I was busier.
Bravo genial !
:)
How do you sing and play at the same time? I can do one thing at once.
😂😂
Me too! It's amazing to watch.
great job! b.t.w. should you and I pursuit doing a part at tunes mashups with Bandhub :) I almost always record drums ;) You and I should get together to give it a try! It must be awesome!
Message me... maybe we can do something!
wow...
Me suis abonné !! :)
:)
you have it!
Man, how can I find something to learn this introduction that you did? I've been searching tutorials and sheet music but I didn't find.
Well; I put that stuff together a long time ago by ear…
This is exactly the piano bit I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can pick up sheet music or something? I don't want the interpretive stuff. I want something that you're supposed to sing on top of. Exactly like this!
I wish the audio would be more clear
Tutorial ?? I can play it but my right hand at the beginning doesn’t sound quite right x
Thanks for commenting on such an old video! I will try and get something recorded and up once I have moved house in a few weeks.
Rocket MAX Max Bresnahan haha I have mastered most of it now but it’s just the beginning sounds right but not perfection lol xx
There no audio on this video??
The video is ancient - there is audio.
Yes, its my RD1000.
Is that a Roland RD-1000 you're using?
How did you learn to play?
Started off at age 4, used to work things out by ear etc, then took lessons, then studied music at university… with a copious amount of performing throughout.
Do you have the sheet music?
All of my Elton work is by ear!
Agree , couldent fault
wonderful skills but that sound is terrible make another shot
TheAmazeer say what you think
Max Bresnahan i m talking about the sound of your footage not your interpretation
