The melody of I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John runs 316 notes across 36 bars, 3:54 long in C at 117 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
