  thanks

  Very well done in correct key.

  Surely there's something more complex going on after "...I don't understand" than simple C11?

• Elton John Chords · 2018-01-19

  When I play it I play either C11 or C9 and play the same chord up one octave and then two octaves and then back down.... but try what sounds best and most like Elton John to you. Cheers

  Elton John noodles improvisations around the appropriate scales all the time when playing live. Especially when solo. He does it with deceptive ease as he is a really brilliant pianist. You just have to do the same which is much easier said than done.

  I would play an Ab in the bass when moving from Bb to Eb at burning out his fuse up here alone. And of course similar bits if you want

  [coughs] .... i think you'll find the Guitar is tuned to an "open G" and the Capo is on III[3rd] ..... sounds jangly too .... a nashville tuning or a 12string .... ???

  I love guitar and playing it. But try it on piano and see how that turns out for you, I feel like guitar is more of a country or cultural instrument, unless you're playing in a band with a pianist? But yeah man, you do you
