Another great piano tune of Elton's, Tiny Dancer is one of three new additions to the TG Library.

Tiny Dancer was the opening cut on Elton John’s 1971 album Madman Across The Water. Of course, it is piano driven, but Neil has adapted it for acoustic guitar. The intro and verse are tabbed out showing his arpeggio picking that hints at the piano arrangement, then there are just chords strummed with the fingers in the pre-chorus, the chorus and an instrumental bridge.
Typical of Elton’s style, there are lots of chord inversions not commonly used by guitar players, but most of them are not difficult. This lesson might be considered advanced-intermediate.
