I’ve been playing for 20 years and consider myself pretty accomplished but I have always struggled learning Elton John tunes. This is my favorite Elton song and this video made it super easy to learn and as always the teaching is top tier. Thanks for being the man Marty.

Can you break down the Intro song of the old anime series Bleach?

[cravertom]

I love this song! Best version! Thanks, Marty! We love you!

[DavidYork]

Thank you Marty, absolutely brilliant rendition and as always your teaching style is reassuring and practical. 🇦🇺🎸

Marty hit a home run here. A cheating way i play it is just G to C7 for the beginning, but just hit the lower (bass) strings.
Then A7 D7 G E7 A7 D7 Em.
That is my campfire chord version.
What a great video, as always.

[jgeraci]

Been here since the days of dads D35 and as always love the lessons and the variety!!

[MrXYZ-uvgj]

Great lesson. I'm always discovering new ways to play guitar chords in contrast to their piano variations. Kudo's to your patience and skill at teaching. I wish I'd have known you when I was a younger man.

[tomtheyank]

WOW, Marty . Thank you for this jazzy bluesy melody.. gonna take some time but what a great camp fire sing along..
Benny - Benny - Benny - Benny and the Jet's....thanks ❤

[kdavis]

Once again, many mahalos for an awesome tutorial!

[richmajeski]

love the explanation and demo on the G#dim7 ---- and how Marty points out it's not a hard open chord to play. Just maybe a new position down by the nut. Good job bud !!!

[laurenmiller]

I almost requested Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters yesterday! Thanks for this one!

[sayvonjarrett]

[tenlittleindians]

Great tune! So great that I had to forward the link off to Elton's guitar player and asked him how close you got to the way he plays it.
