Rocket Man - Acoustic Guitar with original vocal track by Elton John

[@MrDoffuttd]

I've been lookin for the perfect "common-man" acoustic version of this for a "long-long" time - this is it. Thank you!

[@hitsonacousticguitar]

:-), "common-man acoustic version" is a nice term, never heard this, but I dig it

[@bryanjames6520]

Hits On Acoustic Guitar Dude- how did you get Elton’s vocals soloed?

[@kevincanter2575]

I agree!! Drummer for years!! Been learning campfire songs on my acoustic. 👌

[@oldbricks9823]

I love this method to learn a song with chord diagrams over lyrics ...thanks

[@mboehm04]

4 years ago this was posted. Can’t imagine how many people this has helped. People could be playing this at parties or with friends all because you took the time to make it. Thank you.

[@hitsonacousticguitar]

:-) Thank you so much, I like the idea.

[@ancientsouloutdoors4088]

I've got to say, I'm a seasoned guitarist of 47 years, and I absolutely love your approach to this tutorial. Clear, concise, and very user friendly. Good on you brother! Subbed 😊

[@PaulAkers]

Again, your teaching method is so good. You literally learn a song four or five times faster than anyone else. You are a superstar.

[@mugginsdot]

Man!!! YES!!! Perfect lessons execution for players whom just need to follow along see crystal clear display of the chords and how and when to strum!!!! The very best I've seen on KZbin! Way to go! 👍🏻 & subscribed!!!

[@Joe-vy5qw]

Friend: so how long do you think it will take you to learn this basic song? Me: and I think its gonna be a long long time...

[@5t66t5]

What a really great way of showing how to play a song.

[@J101191514]

Great method - a karaoke for guitarists! And the original vocals isolated - nice.

[@subversion6066]

This is the way to teach a song and do a tutorial. The only right way. Just play the song. Perfecto. Thanks.

[@gglendinningok]

lovely, can't tire of this song, it has a timeless magic to as some do

[@ryanfischer2889]

Dude this was awesome! Thanks for posting such a great video. Now I can finally play this song accurately

[@PCPInvestigations]

I play an arrangement similar to this as an instrumental space filler sometimes. Cool when the crowd recognizes it and subconsciously start singing along on chorus. Going to try sprucing it up with some of these touches! Very nice

[@dereksamson4798]

This is Perfect! love the way you laid out the chords in the form you did so clean and simple to follow! Genius!!! SUBS all day here! Thank you!!

[@vincentgriffin9202]

[@buckydewit]

Beautiful song, wonderful interpretation, easy to learn...thank man!

[@garyr1522]

great job, nicely played, chord windows perfectly helpful, and just enough extra licks and tricks to make it pop (I believe that is the saying these days). Thanks for taking the time to post this, really appreciated (from Bristol, England!).

[@hitsonacousticguitar]

Thanks, I was in Bristol last year with my family. What a nice town, you are lucky :-).

[@MrAlexnervo]

Great lesson. No talk talk...just visual.

[@amelyhawking6688]

sehr gut erklärt und einfacher zum spielen mit laufenden Akkorden.

[@gilmartorquato7786]

Excelente! Gosto muito dessa música. Bom para aprender, fazer a tocada certa ou, como eu, que não sei nada de música, mas sei ouvir uma ótima música! Parabéns por essa perspectiva! Aqui, Brasília - DF - Brasil.

[@johnbaglio3471]

The capo 3rd fret changing key on me I think, I'm playing in E flat on piano and despite a little acoustic tuning issue i think its right,,,,,good video, its little back in the day following the bouncing ball on tv

[@DavidTaylorGo.Go.Go.]

Nice double tracking on chorus - works great :)

[@jojonorris8047]

Best lesson on youtube ...wish I could get the strumming pattern.

[@subversion6066]

JoJo Norris The strumming patten comes from your heart. Feel it first, then play it.

[@fuck7328]

Subversion truest words ever spoken

[@wagnercabrerisso5986]

Great song in all the ways.

[@RossysCash]

Love your playing style and how you broke this song down for camp fire playing with classical edge. I’m looking to upgrade to Taylor guitar, what model is yours. Amazing sound!!

[@KynatNL]

PERFECT! With these easy chords I can play it am maybe play around with melody to transition between chords like Elton does on the piano.

The last thing is, I think it would be really cool if you had an intro video so I could see who you were and you kinda introduced your concept and why you're doing what you're doing and a little bit of your background. It be cool to have a little brief bio 60 seconds.

[@PaulAkers]

OK, one more comment and one more thought for improvement. I love playing with you, which is really a cool thing. It's like having a partner to play with and learn the song together. It would be amazing if the words were also scrolling so you could sing along with it and know everything you have everything in one place it would be the perfect companion to both learn and play with a friend just a thought.
