Elton John - Love Lies Bleeding - Guitar Cover (plus excerpt from "Funeral for a Friend") Marcos "Lelo" Craveiro Epiphone Les Paul Standard Guitar Rig 5
John Jorgensen pulls it off perfectly on his Telecaster along with Davey and his Les Paul. Both amazing talent. Thank you for this video. You're phenomenal!
Sounds good Marcos. Davey Johnstone has been one of my favorite guitarists for many years. He's terribly underrated as a musician. Thanks for the video! 👍🎸
Marco, a lot of people try to cover this. These licks are so hard to do right. But you murdered this! There is nothing better that hearing a Gibson Les Paul screaming! After hearing the sound of your playing this I decided to Bluetooth this to my Bowers & Wilkins Home theater system. Everyone in my neighborhood now now’s who you are as I was booming this! Respect!
My friends and I saw Davey with Alice Cooper. Alice introduced each band member and when he got to” the man in the Foster Grants” (Johnstone), Davey cranked out a few bars of this song. Yes. Superb!
There's a video of Davey with Alice and he plays a few riffs from Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting when Alice introduces him. ua-cam.com/video/Kbz7ZI6S6oU/v-deo.html
Simply awesome playing, Marcos. I've been playing this song on piano and guitar for 30 years, it may be Elton's greatest song, in my book. But I'm nowhere near the lead guitarist you are, and that fast run of 16th notes at 1:58 has had me frustrated and perplexed for DECADES! I used to hack around a Dm run to try to approximate it, but it sounds like you've got the real thing. It's mixed kind of low in the song at that point, making it even harder to figure out. If Marcos won't give us a tab, let me write down what I think he's doing - he's so fast that even when you set UA-cam to 0.25 playback speed, it's STILL hard to see exactly what notes he is hitting. So here''s my guess - Marcos, please correct me if I'm wong!: (16th notes starting on 5th string): Bb-A-Bb-C ---> (4th & 3rd strings): D-E-F-G ---> (3rd string) Bb-A-G-F ---> E-D-C then bend 3rd string 7th fret to 9th (E) Or for those who prefer a tab: E B G 0 - 3 - 2 - 0 - 7 (bend-9) D 0 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 0 - A 1 - 0 -1 -3 3 - E I think that's it - but the problem for me is it's still too fast for my fingers at live speed! Anyway, hope that helps all of those of us out there who hope to play like Marcos (and Davey) one day.
1507/5000 I thank you for your kind words and considerations, and thank you for sharing your experience on this subject, very nice. Your tab is 100% correct. My problem for giving tips is that I don't speak a lot of English (I'm Brazilian and I speak Portuguese) and I end up having to use the Google translator for this, and as we know, it doesn't always translate correctly, especially when we use musical terminology . The tip in this phrase of the guitar in question is to connect the notes - "pull-off and hammer-on" - do not strike every note, this will truncate the phrasing. Congratulations, your perception is excellent and I wish you luck in the study. This song is one of my favorites but I didn't know that there were so many people interested in it when I posted it. Thank you for posting this tab so that others can also know the lick in question. If youtube were not so restrictive and also agreed to put jpeg images in the comments, it might be easier to exchange ideas and things like that, but it is getting harder and harder to post since they are removing or blocking several videos of me and others for appearing in the background the original music. I don’t monetize my youtube account and I don’t earn a cent from my posts, I like to share and also because it helps me remember how I play these songs myself, sometimes I forget and watching my own videos, I have a kind collection to remember the shapes, phrases and tricks that I used when I learned the song. Best wishes from Brazil!
I never appreciated Elton John when I was young. I saw it as pop piano music. I didn't realize how great the guitar playing was until recently. Been loving this tune and All the Girls Love Alice. Great cover/lesson. I can now learn to play it the right way. Thanks for posting!
Thanks a million, Pal, that was a work of art. I have watched it 20 times and finally I can play the first three bars. I didn't realize Davey Johnstone could burn up a guitar like that.
Remarkable playing. You do a great rendition of the song. Thank you for posting this. You have given me hope that I might be able to learn how to play some of it.
Outstanding! One of the best guitar videos I've seen. Such attention to detail and you finger the guitar like a pro. I just watched another video of the song and I couldn't bear to look at the guys fat fingers misplaying the chords. Thank you!!!!!!
Okay I'm going to use the microphone so I hope this comes out okay when I was a young boy I love the guitar and wound up at a much older guys house a friend of my brother's called Jim erstad who played Elton John love-lies-bleeding for me and it was the greatest thing that I had ever seen and inspired me to play guitar this brings back such fun memories it's awesome and I'm going to learn how to play it thanks
My experience hearing it for the first time was a little different than yours, but the way the song impressed me was the same. And all these years later, it's still among my top ten favorite songs of all time. Davey Johnstone: a stunningly accomplished yet so underappreciated rock guitarist.
You did a great job as I have heard this particular rift live many times back before your time and possibly even before your parents were born. Keep up the good work !
Just saw Elton Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. He and the band were fabulous which got me thinking about learning this guitar part. Great job and nice playing!
Phrasing, technique, sustain, best cover I've ever seen of one of the best songs ever written.......wow
Liz Mc thank you veey much! 🙂😊
4:39 man that riff I LIVE FOR!
Amazing job!!! Possible to get a tutorial?
Really wish there was a guitar lesson for this song on UA-cam but this is the next best thing.
Marcos! Pat yourself on the back. That was truly amazing! So glad I found this!
Thank You! 🙂
no other guitar would work with this one....Must have a Les Paul. My god, how perfect.....very jealous.
Arturo Thank you very much for your kind words. 😊
@@LeloCraveiro yours is the best cover on the internet. Cheers from California. You are an inspiration to me. I dream of playing like you do.
John Jorgensen pulls it off perfectly on his Telecaster along with Davey and his Les Paul. Both amazing talent. Thank you for this video. You're phenomenal!
@@teddynall4158 thank you! 🙏🏻
Outstanding!
Definitely one of the best guitar rhythm and riff ever created. Great cover!
John John Thank you!
I did not realize how great that was back in the day. But now I crank it every chance I get.
You sir, ROCK! You make it look so easy.
Cu shse thank you! 🙂
Sounds good Marcos. Davey Johnstone has been one of my favorite guitarists for many years. He's terribly underrated as a musician.
Thanks for the video! 👍🎸
Marco Polo thank you. DJ is really great!

After hearing the sound of your playing this I decided to Bluetooth this to my Bowers & Wilkins Home theater system. Everyone in my neighborhood now now’s who you are as I was booming this! Respect!
Thank you very much for your kind words, 🙏 and I apologize in advance to your neighbors! 😄😄😂
My friends and I saw Davey with Alice Cooper. Alice introduced each band member and when he got to” the man in the Foster Grants” (Johnstone), Davey cranked out a few bars of this song. Yes. Superb!
Thank you!
I thought I once saw Davey playing in Alice Cooper. Over the years I wondered if I just imagined it. Thanks for the confirmation!
There's a video of Davey with Alice and he plays a few riffs from Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting when Alice introduces him. ua-cam.com/video/Kbz7ZI6S6oU/v-deo.html
Forget about everything, just go by feel, sound, and rhythm.
great guitar sound and playing- i have looked at quite a few of these covers- yours is the best i have seen bravo
Thank you, mrsullyrox ! :)
Outbloodystanding mate🎸👍
FlingWing thank you ! 🙂🤗
I'm exhausted just watching. Nicely done.
Flawless. This was such a good cover it inspired me to pick up my own guitar again. I don’t sound as good as this but it makes me want to try!
Gregory Gallagher Thank you! I am happy that this video had a positive impact to the point that encouraged you to play again. Very nice. 🙂🙂🙏🏻
@@LeloCraveiro Yes ..what the guy above me here said. Fantastic job.
Rebel Coolidge Thank you very much!
Nicely played! Great tone. Ballsy! 🙏❤

Or for those who prefer a tab:
E
B
G 0 - 3 - 2 - 0 - 7 (bend-9)
D 0 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 0 -
A 1 - 0 -1 -3 3 -
E
I think that's it - but the problem for me is it's still too fast for my fingers at live speed! Anyway, hope that helps all of those of us out there who hope to play like Marcos (and Davey) one day.

@@LeloCraveiro Obrigado, Marcos - and your English is perfect!
Excellent guitar work
Thanks man I really appreciate you taking the time to do this because I've been wondering about the same thing for a while.. 👍 👍

Thank you! Elton John's 70s albums are excellent.
Check out The Union album. Is his last album and is really good.
Thanks a million, Pal, that was a work of art. I have watched it 20 times and finally I can play the first three bars. I didn't realize Davey Johnstone could burn up a guitar like that.
Thanks!
Great job on one of the coolest guitar parts ever recorded.
Thank you!
Very well done sir!!
Thanks!!
Pretty badass for an Elton John song. I’m a big fan of him but never noticed how heavy these licks were.
How could you not notice?
Maybe you never played this loud enough!
What a great tone
🙂
Great job, man! Thank you for sharing a fantastic cover of this incredible song!
Eric Lambert Thanks for the kind words. 🙂
Congratulations Marcos you've passed the audition! Elton will be in touch real soon.
jack flash I am waiting! 😉😁
Remarkable playing. You do a great rendition of the song. Thank you for posting this. You have given me hope that I might be able to learn how to play some of it.

Metallica brought me here. Thank you!
👍
Same here lol!!!!
Same!
Wow. Even Davey would be impressed. He's probably heard about this and watched.
Thank you. I would be honored if Dave watched my video, but I don't believe my cover is as perfect as his magnificent work.
You’re correct Arturo, only a Les Paul can sound that way. Great job Marcos
Thank you
Nice job Marcos - good tone ..... must get onto this myself
Well done my man !!!
Mike Cusumano Thank you! 😊
Wow, great work - - and with the rhythm guitar out front of th emox, you can almost hear how this song could be reimagined in a reggae direction!
You absolutely nailed that part....well done!
Awesome playing!
Perfect rendition my friend. All those hours of practice have paid off.
Hands up! You totally nailed it!
Thanks!
Davey Johnston would be proud!
Thanks!

FANTASTIC.............
Jimi Lee thanks ☺️
Nice job bro, great tone! Davy was one of the British guitar players who never got a lot of credit. Jimmy McCulloch is another one
Thank you! I agree with you! Davy is a great guitarist!
Man just an incredible job on this song! One of your best!!
Thank you ! This song is awesome, one of my favorites from Elton John of his best times.
Just saw Elton Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. He and the band were fabulous which got me thinking about learning this guitar part. Great job and nice playing!
Thank you! This tune is really great. Elton John made great albums and this is a classic!
Excellent!

Excellent playing... nice guitar too...

Nice job. Thanks for the help. I can't help thinking that Davey had a tremolo bar for that guitar, somehow...maybe a bigsby loaded Les Paul?
Thank you! I really could not tell which guitar he used in that song.
Well done! 👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Bro, you actually rock. This is so good!
🙂 Thank you!
Bravo Maestro.!
