Brilliant Cover of New EJ Song

[Don Grim-sby]

That is quite incredible!!! The guy is really talented and looks and
sounds so much like Reg Dwight! It is almost like watching the real
Elton perform the song in a solo concert. I don't know how he picked
the new song up so fast. He must be able to play the piano by ear.

Good, his singing's not that great but he has the spirit down. The
chords sound wrong to me at the very end of the chorus on the title
line (or maybe he reharmonized it purposefully, but through the rest
of it he seems to be striving for an accurate reproduction - it's just
on those words "best part of the" that it sounds to me like he's
picked different chords from what's on the record). I'm nitpicking
though - very impressive performance, especially for what looks like a
young kid.

He has 40 videos now on youtube of him performing various Elton John
songs.
Good stuff!

His playing is indeed very much like what Elton does.

About picking up fast: I think I would recognize Elton playing out of
10 people because his style is so...well...recognizable. Once you've
found out how to imitate that, it's basically a new sequence of chords
and lyrics, all flavoured "Elton style". He's got that pinned down for
sure...
