i particularly enjoy playing old elton john tunes on the egotar because of the wonderful chord inversions and familiarity to the listener. it's fun to take that kind of pianistic quality and apply it to guitars. in the verses of "rocket man" here, the egotar is being plucked behind the slide. this creates a natural flange where the string produces two notes at once. it sounds a bit like a sitar.
