Just started my piano journey at the age of 64..no!.. yes 64, and I’m finding the whole process absolutely fascinating. It’s a whole world that I’ve never delved into. Thanks so much for the video, I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from one video. Elton here I come.

What made such a genius? This is a prime example how he could write soo many punk, drunken ballads, songs that are a rich history lesson, songs as good or better than the Dylan’s… Yeats and he wrote arguably the best love ballads. Those of us who were lucky enough to have known him, a friend was…yes… it was impossible not to love him. His personality was that rich it was like having 4 people in one as a friend. He definitely would try your patience for how long it took him to get from A to B but we all gave him a pass because the ends were always worth way more than means. I miss him terribly and really tried to be in denial towards the end. He was in a lot of pain for a long time but he held on and taught us all and soo much. I still am trying to feel as though he’s still around. Thanks O’Hooligan. Thanks for it all. We all know how much beauty you gave us all. It really does suck without your five cents you had seemingly for everything.

Best online tutorial I've ever seen

One thing I appreciate about this lesson, especially in Your Song, is your setting aside emphasis on inversions. I know you should get used to inversions, but it makes things a bit muddled when you are just getting used to playing arpeggiated patterns like you are here.

What a fabulous video and what a great teacher !

[carolmurphy]

Well, this is a little piece of heaven to me. Elton has been my inspiration since my very early teens, and this is how I've always wanted to play. Instead, I was given the classical musical straitjacket to wear, and I've been trying to get out of it ever since. This is a BEAUTIFUL lesson. Thank you so much!

Excellent breakdown and very engaging and inspiring

[williamnumero]

I can’t stop coming back to this beautiful compilation of the genius EJ songs, mesmerising stuff.
I keep refreshing my recall of Tom’s passionate renditions which bring the music to life, so easy to follow Tom’s careful guide throughout. Inspiring stuff, thank you so much Tom

WOW! I'm a beginner 2 years in, and basically my playing is triads and octaves at this point. So I can play this stuff!!! Fantastic lesson and a real confidence-booster!

I'm 74 years old. I've played guitar since I was about 17, but I was always fascinated by piano. I now have one in my music room. I've been studying for about two years and taking lessons for a year or so. I love Sir Elton, but the books I've used are somewhat beyond my capabilities. In less than a week, this video has gotten me sounding more "Elton-ey" than I had dared hope. Thank you! I'd love to see breakdowns for songs like "Border Song" and "All the Young Girls Love Alice." My "Holy Grail" for Elton would be "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding." It's ambitious, I know, but who knows how much time I have left to learn? Thanks again.

You are an excellent teacher with brilliant concepts for thinking about piano

[stevenkaiser]

Tom this is such a wonderful lesson! From someone who has admired Elton's playing and songwriting for decades, especially during the 70's, this is a beautiful tutorial. I wish that sometime you would do a tutorial on how you fill between the chord changes in both hands in Elton's style. Thanks again for sharing!!

[lisadixon]

Im practising Your Song- cant believe Im so excited about suspended chords 😊

[Njr]

Loved!! You’re a great teacher!! Added to my collection

[sandralima]

Love love your tutorials. Your right the traditional method waits too long to introduce sharps and flats.

[kirstenfruehling]

Thank you for this wonderful lesson on the beautiful chord progressions. Many years ago I learned the piano for a while and was never taught a single chord, just mindless sheet music replication. Now I'm trying to make up for lost time. Also I think most pupils get a fear instilled in them to play the black keys which is an awful shame as those Ebmaj or Dbmaj chord progressions are just the most stunning!

[mellyju]

Oh my goodness! That was spellbinding! Such a wonderful pianist… I’m speechless!

[BraddersMusic]

Nice one James and well here I am at 70 finally getting into piano have played Guitar and Bass for many years. I've incorporated piano into some of my songs but very cautiously and also always envyied pianists who can simply pick out a song and get people singing along. Thanks Tom for rekindling this spirit!
