"Sacrifice" is a ballad performed by musician Elton John. The song was written by John and his collaborator Bernie Taupin. The song appears on the 1989 album Sleeping with the Past. It was first released in October 1989, then in 1990, and was the second single from the album. It achieved success, particularly in France and the UK, where it became his first solo chart-topper, spending five weeks at the top.
My Guitar cover was a request for Jordan Quiah - Hope you like it Jordan !
Played Using my Alan Brason Custom Stratocaster with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on Neck Position through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36.
I used a Karaoke BT available here :-

Sound recorded in Cubase SX 6 and edited with the three 4K video takes in Sony Vegas Pro 14
Please enjoy Sacrifice
Lyrics
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice…
Everything you do is GOLD, what more can I say.......Phil McMarvin.
Thank you so much ! Phil

Many thanks Bill - A very simple song somewhat repetitive so the 3 registers helped break it up a bit. Glad you liked it.. Al the best.. Phil
Perfecto.
Awesome rendition of this Elton John classic Phil , beautifully played to that amazing BT , and that guitar sound is spot on ,on the neck pickup, I will have to give this a go I Iike the slow ballad types, thanks for sharing , all the best Dave.👏
Many thanks Dave - yes it's a very simple one to play - the trickiest bit was working out the arrangement of using the 3 registers as the tune is very repetitive. Very pleased you liked it and hope you get on well with it.. Cheers Phil
@@random275 Just a question about the BT Phil did you remove the electric guitar on KV or leave it in , cheers Dave.

Hi, Phil !
I've always enjoyed this song. It was underappreciated in the U.S. but luckily it became a staple of his "live" act for years. One of the things about Elton is his penchant for composing music in flat keys, B-flat in particular is one of his most used compositional keys. If I were to ever do this, I'd punch it up to "D" Major, as opposed to the flat key (guitarists in general hate flat keys, unless you're a bebop player and B-flat is almost a must) Elton's guitarist Davey Johnstone played the high triad throughout the tune and when I didn't hear it initially, I got worried, but you brought it in and all was right with the world. (smile) Enjoyed this much overlooked classic from Elton's catalog. All the BEST !
Dan.
Hi Dan - I hear what you are saying and agree "D" & "A" are the most guitar friendly keys as you can get the ring of open bass strings. I try and keep it in the same key as the original if I'm using a commercial BT - If it's only 1 or 2 semitones away you can get away with changing the BT key but any more than that can sound like a chip monk if you go up or a zombie if you go down.Lol. Thanks for your good comments on this - I've done 9 Elton covers now no where near the amount of Beatle covers you have done... All the best.. Phil
Hello sir thank you so much for the music that you play 😊
