Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John

Музыка

The first track on Elton John's album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" (1973) is actually two separately composed tracks which was combined to make one big track called "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding". The song consist of the instrumental "Funeral For A Friend" followed by "Love Lies Bleeding". The song is very versatile and contains many different styles of playing which makes it a challenge to play. This is also what makes the track very fun to play!
The song is heavily played live, and has been used as a concert opener through out Elton John's touring career. Usually you would find the track in the beginning of the live set or in the middle of the live set!

    AMAZING!! I "tinker" with a lot of EJ's songs, play by ear, never learned to read music, never had a lesson. Apparently I'm playing in the right key here, but not playing the intro correctly, and that progression mid song has always had me flummoxed, but now I know where to go to get to that crescendo...THANK YOU. I could never come close to playing that incredibly, but I satisfy myself and a few friends with my, admittedly rudimentary version. Recently been noodling with "Tiny Dancer", (which would be a walk in the park for this guy). Pretty good with "Your Song", "Rocket Man", "Come Down In Time", ANY EJ song, but I LOVE TRYING to jam out to FFAF/LLB. I WISH I COULD DO THAT!!!!!! TRULY wonderful, and masterful playing, Captain Fantastic!

    LEFT HAND: This song is complicated, and one of his greatest. The original, Elton Would pound the cord , not Rock it back and forth ; The octave, yet would resort to doing just that Teeter Todder the Left hand. Its tough, bcause its lik th old Rub the Stomach , whitle tp the top of head all at once. You did a STELLAR JOB. WE LOVE IT.

    For anyone wondering how to recreate the sound, he used the "modern" piano setting. The default sound is a roland r1000, which came out in the 80's. On a Nord, you can get very specific and blend the sound of the rd1000 and the yamaha s4 (which he might be doing here, too) to get the genuine Elton sound. The RD2000 is arguably the greatest stage piano on the market right now. It's soundbank is one of the most expansive I've ever seen.

    Dude you flat tore it up. I am a drummer and I used to play along with the live version of this off of Elton's live album Here And There. This has always been one of my favorite Elton songs. I would say my favorite album of his is Captain Fantastic And the Brown Dirt Cowboy. here And There would be second. I also play keys and I just recently got the Roland Fantom 88 key. I love it. I wish I could play this song on the keyboard. My hat's off to you sir. Well done.
