Do You mean like a pop approach to a particular chord change, or a turnaround, or a formula? I imagine my playing is formulaic in some sense, but if so, it's...
Hi Andy, I think you'd do well to simply get some sheet music or a song book and take it from there. I'd suggest "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "I Guess ...
... Good synopsis of the style! I was trying to find a way to say it and couldn't. The deal with Elton and Gospel is kinda like the deal with the British...
Hello all. I'm wanting to get a good portable library of pop fake books without spending money on duplicate songs, etc. Any good recommendations out there? ...
Warner Bros has a good series - one standards book, one jazz book, one blues book. They're very good. More modern pop's a little tougher, I'll defer to the...
Hi Jay, You're right, to a point. The British Invasion - and Elton John is no exception - was (is?) about playing America's music back to it. But a lot of that...
... I got to see Tommy Flanagan (Coltrane's pianist on Giant Steps) live years ago - he was mostly doing polite pop-jazz, a la George Shearing or Ahmad Jamal,...
Thanks everyone for your help over Sir Elton Patterns. The thing is....I've been using my keyboards accompliments for 20 years and playing right hand...
Hi Andy, Not knowing what patterns you already have, it's hard to recommend any. I guess one that's typical of Elton is to play a four-note major chord in root...

Hi Andy, Thanks a lot! Now I know where you're coming from. I like this "pattern" approach that David Sprunger uses. It gets you going right away, and just as...

They ARE persistent, aren't they. The rumor is that they keep doing it because it works. I don't understand that at all. I'm looking for a second mort or...
Oh, it IS going to be a pain in the ass! First I have to find someone to "cave in" the 12' deep inground concrete pool that's back there, THEN I have to get a...
Hi Rick, Probably they got sucked into buying some MLM kit themselves, and are trying to prove to themselves that they haven't just thrown their money away. ...
Hi Rick, Just make sure you get all your contractors lined up. Don't assume that the guy who breaks up your pool is going to haul the debris away, for example....
I'm with ya, Ken. I'm actually taking it step by step. Rather than have the pool hauled away, we're having it collapsed in, the walls will fill the 32,000...
