Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John), Free Tutorial!

[@gregoryambres1897]

The best Classic Rock piano teacher EVER 💪🏆

[@thielmm]

I started playing in May, and your tutorials are the best I can find. It's exciting to be a beginner and feel like I can play songs like this with a little hard work. I'm 2/3 of the way through this song and most of the way through I'm Still Standing. Looking forward to starting I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues. You are my piano hero. Thank you!

[@MrMd5555]

That's great! Keep it up! Do you play Any other instruments or just keys?

[@thielmm]

Just the piano. I did sing in school, so I didn't start from absolute zero. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@GreenmanRP]

Thank you SO MUCH for these detailed tutorials Steve! These mean so much to me and others alike during these rough times. What sets you apart from the other channels offering piano tutorials here on KZbin is that your tutorials are so incredibly detailed, making it possible for anyone to learn some of their most favorite songs, whether you have experience or not playing the piano! You never rush any of your lessons, which shows you genuinely care about us learning these songs. Keep doing all that you’re doing! I look forward to each and every single tutorial of yours!

[@kirkgriffiths6936]

Finally a tutorial that couldn’t be better. Easy instructions and a really good way to display the pedals 👏👏best tutorial I’ve ever seen on KZbin thus far. You explain everything so well 👍Amazing

[@MrWubClub]

Hey Steve! I've learned a lot through your videos over my very short piano career and I really like to see the quality of your videos improving so much. It makes it much easier to learn and I'm sure more fun to make on your part. Anyway, thank you so much for your help in teaching us all to play! I tell everyone I know who's interested in learning piano to check out your channel because of how good your videos are and how easy they are to learn from. Wish you the best!

[@supermanpro]

Oh Man, so Nice song and tutorial. You’re a chief ! ❤

[@dennisstong2483]

This was so helpful I am so glad I came across you!

[@agustincordero167]

You are all piano learners savior. Thanks for all those great tutorials man.

[@michaelnicolello5362]

Thanks so much for this, im almost done with the chorus, your an excellent teacher! Keep up the good work!

[@richblech]

Thanks Steve. Just came across your vid. I must say how happy I am. A well put together lesson, and finally I’ve found a tutorial pitched at my level. This too is my favorite song now as well. Genius how many different chords Elton packs into 1 song and it still sounds fantastic. Thanks a lot. Can’t wait to explore some of your other vids once I’ve finished this one!

[@lucillenavarro4917]

Thank you so much for this video, it is so well detailed and explained I am really enjoying it ! I still have half of the song to learn, and am learning it at my own rythm. I used to play the piano when I was a kid, and I am back to it now thanks to your video :)

[@omsstclair2]

Like the fact that you have tabs so I don’t have to fast forward - play by ear and have most of it figured out so good to be able to get those tricky chords I can’t place right away! Awesome job !

[@eoforidanso]

I have followed you since the pandemic . This one is a classic !!! Good job Steve from your number one fan

[@dawidzapotoczny1920]

Wonderful tutorial! We really want more Elton tutorials please 💙

[@bradjholm]

Bravo mate 👏 and thank you sir 😎

[@grumblefier]

Brilliant mate- thanks so much...

[@westfield90]

Thank you Steve. Much appreciated. Fantastic tutorial that sounds very accurate unlike the dozens of others on KZbin. Can you do Beatles piano tutorials like lady Madonna, Let it Be, Martha My Dear, Long and Winding Road?

[@parasympatholytic]

This guy does an excellent job!

[@bobbarrett1164]

Besides being great like everyone says, you have a very good positive and relaxed way about you that is quite helpful when learning something new. Thanks

[@manslindberg629]

I know this is two years later but thank you so much for this video❤❤ Playing it for my mother next time I see her😁

[@PianoManSteve]

That's awesome! Those moments are really what this is all about! :-)

[@boramyty3302]

Steve you are just such an amazing teacher and performer and a great person. God bless! Fyi I absolutely love your elton tutorials! I will definitely give you tips!

[@omsstclair2]

And LOVE this song as well!

[@JJC_BEAT]

I really like that one and now I'm going to learn it, thank you very much Steve. God bless you

[@nygiantslover1082]

First time I’ve ever seen an animation for the pedals. I’ve never known how to properly use them so I should be able to figure it out from this. Thank you

[@mickeysteve7587]

Finally a good goodbye yellow brick road tutorial I’ve been waiting for this

[@devonasher2422]

Not to be that guy, but road*

[@joej.5073]

[@davidstriker3157]

Great job !

[@PianoManSteve]

Thanks David....glad you tuned in! :-)

[@davidkoester9512]

You are good, I love this !!!!!

[@Hantz3844]

Thank you so much for doing this

[@thumbpick2011]

Big thanks!

[@ECAKJ]

Great teacher. Rocket man?

[@susanarmour931]

Hey, thanks so much for the tutorials. I. found Color My World super easy to follow, BUT this one confused me a bit with all of the majors, minors diminished verbiage. That’s just me though. Once I used the pause button between each chord, I was able to write it down and then follow along. I appreciate your time and hard work. I really love when I feel some success…….after lots of practice.

[@rcrewe3733]

I found it confusing too at first so i started playing it in small chunks over and over and it seems to be coming together. Ironically so far the hardest part for me is the intro when you have to hit the F, then C and the C octave twice, im doing it but it don't sound right. LOL.

[@markanderson8006]

Thanks. Great Video . Would you ever consider doing Song for Guy or Sorry seems the hardest word .

[@gregoryambres1897]

I want to make you a super-duper sub-sandwhich, man 💪

[@ppsayl1235]

Thanks, Mr Steve. Did Elton always prefer octives the left hand across many of his songs? Perhaps because he was a dominant right hand player? A little tougher for me as I'm a dominant left hand player. But since I've conquered Prelude to Angry Young Man by BJ, I've gotten better with using both hands equally (for the most part).

[@PianoManSteve]

Octaves in the left hand is a pretty common trend you'll see across most popular music by most players, and especially for piano/vocal only....otherwise you just don't have the bottom end you need for the song and by playing a simple and repetitive rhythm pattern in the left hand, you hold the song together the way a drum kit and bass guitar do. Great question! :-)

[@hurleypiano]

No melody?

[@PianoManSteve]

No.....sorry. It's an accompaniment tutorial....as close as my ear could get to what Elton was playing

[@anonimoboy1737]

sonic the hedgehog

[@callumfryer411]

Yessssss can’t wait to learn it thanks Steve

[@MediBukey]

Steve thank you for this awesome lesson. I'm guitarist, just bought a MIDI controller to play and record music sounds and my voice for hypnotherapy audios through Ableton Live. Watched Rocket Man about Elton John's life the other night and wanted to learn the song on the guitar, and thought I'd learn it on the keyboard too, for personal pleasure, as this is a song I've loved from childhood which my late uncle would play constantly, as it's a work of art and genius. Thank you, you're an amazing teacher. Wish I had a teacher like you when I was a kid.

[@augustotiberio]

This is absolutely incredible! Really well done, man! Just found out your channel. The absolute best on YT!

[@nyguy7814]

Love it! Can u please make a tutorial for tiny dancer???

[@ernie8117]

Is there a sheet music for this tutorial? thanks.

[@maxhess3151]

That chorus is brutal.

[@walkermation]

Amazing.thank you so much.such an easy tutorial to follow for quite a difficult song.ive tried lots of others but with this one I've managed to learn the whole song in a couple of hours.brilliant

[@malcolmharris5277]

Hi Steve - one of your UK subscribers here. Another great job here. I'll echo what another one of your fans says below, and please accept this in the positive spirit with which I mean it - that it is really wonderful to see the fantastic results of your own dedication and professionalism, since you first started committing to helping us to learn the work of Elton and Billy Joel particularly. Thank you!

*You are my hero. Thank you for this great tutorial! You got yourself a new sub*

[@Lollipopmix729]

When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing The blues, ah, ah So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah, ah What do you think you'll do then? I bet they'll shoot down the plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you On the ground, ah, ah So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah, ah

[@joselevicanasenjo2171]

Very good tutorial. I loved it. I think quality would be improved if you playerd it all the way through , without enunciating verses, or chorus, aand so on!

[@lukedillon6355]

oh my god thank you so much I just got done with your song not even an hour ago cant wit to learn this

[@fzouak7609]

Thank you very much for that tutorial!!! I had a really good time learning this song, love it!

[@しね-w7h]

I was just listening to this the other day and thinking about how I'd love to play it!! Your piano tutorials are actually sooo helpful so thank you so much.

[@alanab9277]

Thanks Steve! Could you please teach us how to play Tower of Babel?

[@willdeloach3532]

Thanks Steve, Ill probably be looking on your page quite a bit from here on out👍🏻

[@Mj_Gimolatan8810]

It’s better if your singing so that I know are you playing, I’m new learning piano.

[@oscarwong7698]

Love the new lay out of the screen. Can you teach us “The Bitch is Back” 😭😭😭

[@nolasko_]

Nice tutorial

11:15 and 12:30

[@caspar1617]

Very nice!

[@jajaleco]

Thanks to you I could learn to play Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Your Song, but I'll still use your other tutorials to lear other songs. Thanks so much for teaching only the original piano part and not the melody, it's really frustrating to try and learn a piano part to sing along to and all you can find are tutorials with the melody included. Keep up with the good work!

[@LaserGryph]

That is a very ... large ... swear-wine glass.

[@LaserGryph]

And it's so full... @v@

[@dreamintokyo]

THANK YOU!!! I’ve always wanted to learn this song, I cannot believe I’m finally able to do it - thanks to you. Thank you so much!!! ♥️

[@james2578]

this is really hard to teach. really hard to break up like this repeatedly. you're brilliant.

[@AcesArchives]

[@dreamintokyo]

could you please do a tutorial on Funeral For A Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding?

[@filbertoaguirre7858]

Thank you very much for sharing your talent and teaching us ( the local so and so; Jethro Tull ref.) Ahem apologies,teaching us this really legendary song,it is very big sounding with the awesome descending perfectly written chords ! Your awesome!

[@chriskenrick]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. I'm still trying to map out the keys without having to look as it slows me down trying to watch/listen/find keys to keep up 😅 I've nearly got the intro nailed

[@nunyabidniss5810]

WOW!!! This was great!! What I really like is your approach. I am not much above a beginner. Know little about theory except some chords. You were very encouraging so I dove in anyways. At first I figured I had little chance of getting this down but I kept at it, section by section. I also use this service that allows me to practice with a backup band recording of the song minus the keyboard. Great once you have the whole song down and want to get used to playing around other instruments. Great stuff, will be checking out the rest of your tutorials because they're so darn good!!

[@macca_9680]

Hi great tut! But do u have the sheet music for your tut?

[@PianoManSteve]

No sorry.... I don’t use sheet music

[@omarperales8910]

Honestly this tutorial very helpful for me. From now on I 'll follow your videos. Thank you. From Tampico, MX

[@ianh224]

I love all your tutorials, thanks for being the best teacher! I always know you’re gonna show me the right thing!

[@garymalin7378]

Very good and Thank You!.. Your teaching standards are easy to understand and follow!...

[@blankfrank361]

Hi Steve, thanks for the great video. I just want to say you’re my teacher in the melody and ear training course I’m about to start on Jacques site

[@markanderson8006]

Great Video Steve. What about Song for Guy with the lockdown I’d have time to learn it . One can always hope . Keep up the great work your the best

[@mark_patton]
