Band: Elixir
Album: Elixir
Song: "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
Tabbed by: Sean Henry ([email protected])
Version 1.0 - Tabbed all of the first guitar's parts. 16/02/04
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further proof that Australia breeds the best musicians.
A prime example of what a cover SHOULD be. They took an
Elton john piano / vocal song in 4/4 and turned it into a
classical guitar / vocal song in 5/4.
There are actually up to 3 guitars playing at any one time,
for example, 2:03 into the song, in the second verse, there is
one guitar keeping the rythym, another doing little flamenco
style fills, whilst another guitar comes in doing the
second half of the intro riff, however, most of the song is just 2.
By the way, just thought I'd mention that no-one sings this better
than by beautful girlfriend and her angelic voice... awww, love...
