Bennie and the Jets PIANO TRANSCRIPTION

Download MIDI file here: chrisbarkerpia...
The piano you hear and see is from my transcription MIDI file with a little of the original audio mixed in so you can tell where you are in the song.
Learn this classic song just the way that Elton plays it live himself. I have transcribed this great live version into a MIDI file that you can use to help you learn the piano part quickly and accurately. MIDI files are a great tool in which you can: hear the piano only (instead of entire band), slow down the song without any quality loss, loop difficult sections, change the key of the song, and more!
For a quote on a transcription you would like for me to do just for you, email me here: [e-mail]
Due to copyright infringement issues and video blocking I am unable to create KZbin videos for many of the suggestions that I receive in the comments section. I do, however, create videos and MIDI files just like on my channel for clients who would like a specific piano part transcribed for any video or audio file!

THANK YOU SO MUCH OH MY GOODNESS

Amazing work man! i'm trying to transcribe the red piano show version for so long, he mixed all these licks and added some new ones. He is the king of phrasing

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Hey Arthur, sorry I missed this comment. I haven't heard that one that I recall, I'm sure you will do a great job on the transcription. The hardest part for me it just hearing the piano through so much instrumentation. Glad you enjoyed this!

wow this is great didnt realise u were going to post the whole performance, i was wondering if u could do either take me to the pilot or burn down the mission from the 17-11-70 album thanks alot again.

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks Daniel, I have had several people request the 11-17-70 album, I will put that in consideration for a future video for sure. Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@BenjiDarius]

"Elton's Notes" did Take Me To The Pilot from Moscow 1979 And "My Sheet Music Transcriptions" did Burn Down The Mission, not the best, but pretty good

Superb, you've nailed that triplet roll thing which he plays in every song live especially during solos, it happens here at 0.35 can you explain the fingering.

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks so much! I'm wanting to do tutorials for all these songs eventually...stay tuned.

[@MatthewWilkinson]

@chrisbarkerpiano Great thanks for replying, that riff as a fellow player and obsessed with Eltons style is one of the main riffs he does and I've yet to see anyone break it down.

[@user-fk3fs9km7o]

you should make a transcription of the song as played on the record

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

I might just do that. I think the album versions are interesting because they show how differently he approaches a song in the studio versus a live show. They are also usually more approachable for players as they are less complicated. Thanks for the suggestion!

All The Young Girls Loves Alice please!!! I would love to check the Mona lisas pt.2 but the video is blocked! Thank you so much!

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Thanks for the suggestion Max, sorry about the blocked video! I hope they can find a resolution to this problem soon. Thanks for watching!

[@bradypechart4854]

If I buy the MIDI file am I able to print it?

[@chrisbarkerpiano]

Hi Brady, sorry I didn't reply to you sooner on the other comment. So I have been talking with some arrangers about sheet music but it is pretty cost prohibitive. This particular song would probably bee about $300.00 U.S. dollars to have someone arrange it for me. On printing sheet music with the MIDI file, depending on the program you have it would translate this into sheet music however it is not to a grid and therefore would look very different than what you are use to. That is where an arranger would come into play. Hope this helps but if I am able to offer these in the future I will definitely let it be know on the channel. Thanks for your interest and comment, hope these help anyway.
