If you'd like to learn to play a song by Elton John you may find what you are looking for on this site. We're working through the complete discography album by album — the search box on the home page or the album index will get you to any song, and every chart can be transposed to your key.

Bit About Me

I've enjoyed listening and jamming songs by Bernie Taupin and Elton John as long as I can remember. The first album I remember listening to was Breaking Hearts when I was four years old. I loved listening to Burning Buildings, In Neon and Sad Songs Say So Much.

It wasn't until I was 7 or so and I found my parents' old record collection that I came across another album — Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy. After falling in love with that album I started a membership of a mail order CD club. It was a great time. I would cut grass for money and then put in an order for another album. It was so much fun hearing all these albums for the first time.

Today I am always looking forward to the next album by Elton and Bernie — there's always something new to learn at the piano.

Playing Live

Usually when I play out at a live gig you can count on there being at least a few John / Taupin songs. The crowd usually requests Tiny Dancer, Your Song, Saturday Night's Alright, Philadelphia Freedom and more. I like to mix it up on occasion and do Blues For Baby And Me, or Burn Down The Mission.

Lately one of my favourites to jam is Crazy Water.
