I really love this version. Brilliant. Elton John wrote this for a piano arrangement so I appreciate the challenge in converting to guitar. I love your Lowden guitar. I built a guitar with a Rosewood headstock and Gold/Amber tuners just like yours. Beautiful!
Thanks so much, Alan. 🙂 The challenge in converting to guitar is one I love. I've owned the Lowden from new, since late 2001; 22 years on and it still amazes me. Incredible instruments.
Thanks so much, Fran! I love the challenge of taking songs from piano to guitar. Still can't believe this one has had 16K views... I normally get a couple of hundred, if I'm lucky! 😄
I almost skipped it thinking "guy in his kitchen can't be good" and he was great. And can sing extremely well. I have to re-learn this for a gig in 2 weeks. He hit every little nuanced harmonic during the verses, right on time and I can loop this and get it up to speed in 20 mins or 1/2 hour. Glad I did not skip it. Giant stretch for that one chord. I may play a different inversion as we have a full band with keys 🎹. Kitchen Man! Well done A+.
Thanks so much. I'm glad you didn't skip it, considering your kind comments. I completely understand what you mean about the kitchen though! :-D I played with 4- and 5-piece bands for 20 years but have been enjoying this new challenge during lockdown: how to distil a complex song down to one live, acoustic performance.
@@DavidWoodsGuitar well the kitchen is great for vocals and your mic picked up the guitar well too. Then I saw the "Larrivee" on the headstock and knew you were no rookie. All around excellent. Keep posting, I am going to subscribe. It was late and I didn't hit the button last night. Cheers!
My dads favourite song.. my mate is unbelievable on the guitar and I’m going to send him this... well done brother great song and we’ll played !!! This song is so underrated !!
Sorpresa!!!no la había escuchado con guitarra,pero sueno impresionante y diferente. Muy buena voz,haces lo justo en el momento justo,maravilloso cover!!!
Damn, that finger stretch at the chorus! Well done! I love it! Im currently playing the easy chord version of this song. Id like to start adding the fill in and some of the more true chords. Did you learn this off a tab or by ear?
Ha...same here. Im not even an Elton fan but this popped up on my search. Totally, absolutely, blown away, 100% !!! Great arangement, vocals are spot on (lets be honest...Elton's not easy to re-create...even in your own fashion...& pull it off) & holy smokes...what is that big stretchy chord lol ? Man I'm defo studying this vid. Well done. Love finding gems like this. Thanks for sharing & keep up the good work 😊👍✌
And I've just subscribed having seen all your other vids 😊😊 oh man...I've got plenty of viewing to catch up on. Our musical tastes are very, very similiar 👍
@@DavidWoodsGuitar wow very impressive! Many years ago I had 2 classical lessons but couldn’t even manage to sit with the guitar on my LEFT knee?!! Plus I can’t read music so - I’m on board that self taught train with ya! 🤟🏻
@@DavidWoodsGuitar is it possible for you to tab it and post it? I would be willing to pay a price if you want it. I've been looking up arrangements and yours is just craazy.
@@DavidWoodsGuitar I get it m8. But hands down, I loved this cover. If at all you make a tab just comment here man. I would be really grateful if you make one 😂😅
this was good acoustically via guitar but just singing it with out a meaning and plain well... just no the king of this song by far alone and even making elton john look like he was doing the modern day " pushing a check " song was the man, the myth, the legend ( Archie Williams ) the depth with the meaning and the true feeling of the lyrics ! the staple of the song sang by a man with legit soul and inspiration to capture the lyrics in a way no one else ( not even elton john ) can do PERIOD ! try a different song choice man. try something that matches your vocal keys better like justin timberlake or something you might make it big in that range :)
2024!!! You go boy.!!! Goals, I tell you!!!! That was beautiful!!
Great cover. Very inspirational for my own learning.
Thank you! :-)
Wooo. Excellent
Thank you, Xavier. :-)

Wow!! Great rendition! You are the only person I've seen play acoustical guitar accompaniment and you nailed it! Great vocals!! Keep on making music!
Thanks so much, Fran!

@@guitarstarz2688 Thanks again. Just one thing - it's not Larrivée, it's Lowden. Amazing guitars, made in Northern Ireland. :-)

Thank you! I learned it by ear and just tried to make sense of the piano arrangement on guitar.
この歌好き！！！
ありがとうございました (I hope that's correct! :-D)
@@DavidWoodsGuitar Your Japanese is good! But ありがとうございます seems to be more natural than ありがとうございました in this situation 🙆♂️
Absolutely love this! I came across this video while searching for guitar tutorials on acoustic. You sound great!
Thank you, Jo!

Not perfect but whats perfect
So far it is great... but the harmonic sound that u've improved to its music is a little bit annoying the rhytm... 👍👍👍
