Honky Cat by Elton John Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music

By Elton John

Accurate score for Elton John's Honky Cat for vocal and piano with simple guitar chords. There was no guitar on the original, only a banjo. Many of the scores that are available are in the wrong Time Signature. This score is how Elton played it (in Cut Time), so the accented chords and notes are precise.This transcript allows you to play the way Elton played it and includes an ending as the original song fades on the album. It also acts as a learning tool for piano players to see how the recording used some great improvising. He also played a Fender Rhodes electric piano on the original recording.The piano solos are tricky for most people to play so its is advised to learn the right hand first using the top notes before adding in the chords and then the left hand. A good tip if playing along with the original is to slow it down to 75% speed and then gradually build it up.....go at your own speed.This transcript is also longer than usual, as Elton played or sang each verse or chorus differently, so it is captured here just how he plays it in its entirety, so there are many more pages than sheet music has in general. This score helps takes the mystery out of being able to play this song properly. This score is rated as advanced because of the piano solos. However, the majority of the score is suitable for intermediate. Learn this song in sections is the best advice.
