Paper thin arrangements spoil a great idea July 2, 2003

Well, I had emailed Harold Leonard (publisher) and asked them was this an instrumental solo book or an arragement or fingerstyle acompaniment to singing and they said it was the later, it is not.
As you may know, when Elton John sits at the piano he uses both hands and is often playing chords, harmony with both hands, plus there is a guitarist playing sometimes, and another keyboard player. So when you hear his music it is full and deep sounding. The problem with this book is that the arranger takes the melody and adds a SINGLE bass note to that melody. Like a Travis picking thing, alternately with G and D on a G chord for example. This is not done in a sophisticated way, a basic way that would have made Mel Bay proud. Therefore, the arrangements are thin, weak and positively not the caliber for a performance and possibly not even your friends, unless sending them to sleep is your goal. You would be better off buying a standard Elton John songbook, strumming along with chords or do a pattern fingerpicking along with the vocal.
