Outside of music, John is an HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser and has been involved in the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. His life and career were dramatised in the 2019 biopic Rocketman. John's final tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road (2018–2023), became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. John has also had success in musical films and theatre, composing music for The Lion King, Aida, and Billy Elliot the Musical. His success continued in the 1980s and 1990s, having several hit singles and albums in both decades, and he has continued to record new music since. John's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s, when he released a string of chart-topping albums both in the US and UK, which began with Honky Château (1972) and culminated with Rock of the Westies (1975). In 1969, John released his debut album Empty Sky, and a year later formed the Elton John Band, also releasing his first hit single, " Your Song". For two years, they wrote songs for other artists, and John worked as a session musician. He formed the blues band Bluesology in 1962, but left in 1967 to embark on a solo career and met Taupin the same year. John was raised in the Pinner suburb of London and learned to play piano at an early age, winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied for five years.
His songwriting partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin is one of the most successful in history. Acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his work during the 1970s and for his lasting impact on the music industry, his music and showmanship have had a significant impact on popular music.
The lead is a little trickier, requiring a bend, which is no simple feat on acoustic guitar! We work our way through it, and try our best.Sir Elton Hercules John CH CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight 25 March 1947) is a British singer, pianist and composer.
The D/F# looks like it might be tricky, but it’s used as a transition chord, so there’s an easy way to pivot and make the switch accurately. G C D are like an easy 3 chord song on guitar, and the Em is usually the first or second shape people ever learn. The chord shapes are pretty simple for the most part. Normally I like to keep the lesson portion of my videos under 5 minutes but this one is totally worth it!
