I don't think I have uploaded for ages on here, apologies for that. I hope everyone is well and staying safe at home, as I am.
During the covid19 related downtime, I thought I'd have a go at a bit of a response to Elton doing a version of this from his house for the One World concert. I like the slightly slower, moody rhythmic piano he plays on the later versions of this song, so I have let that influence my playing here.
I'm using my Roland RD2000, programmed to replicate the sound of Elton's piano. The video quality isn't great, it's just my P20 Pro cellphone's front camera.
As usual, I'm using Elton's live piano sound - my recreation of the sound we are used to hearing from his piano on stage. As well as the sound itself, it is essential to understand and play to Elton's signature feel and style, which I try hard to do in all of my videos.
Playing like Elton John is not an easy thing to do convincingly, and I have studied for pretty much my whole musical career to get it right, that said there's always work to be done.
I am using my Roland RD2000 piano here, however as you will see from my other content I have an RD1000 also which I use for EJ content.
