That solo from Moonage Daydream was really the first time I "heard" electric guitar... and it changed my life. It was so simple, powerful, confident and musical I didn't even know what to do.
The genius of this solo lies precisely in its simplicity. Almost anyone can learn to play it, but it takes a lot of work to get it right. Many people start speeding and adding licks, and the solo quickly becomes similar like almost all other rock solos. This isn't just a solo from a rock song.
Just found this. Ronno was, and always will be my hero. He had an inner beauty that also came across in his guitar playing. Bowie unlocked his true talent by a projection of sorts, and I'm quite sure he loved Mick in some way. Approx. two years of the most mind shattering glamrock and roll we will ever see. It's obvious that Bowie was singing about Ronno- and the Spiders, I wonder if he was a little in awe of what they had created? But back to this video, I hadn't heard of Michael Casswell. To say he nailed this is a bit cheap, he did much more than that, he made it live again. To read he has subsequently died himself is a real tragedy.. R.I.P. Michael, Mick and David.
Great Cover of the Legendary Guitarist Mick Ronson’s Amazing Solo In Moonage Daydream. Ronno also played Piano & Strings in the Song. This Cover is Absolutely Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolute Perfection! And this is my favorite Bowie song! I remember going nuts as a teenager when I listen to it over and over! I really like that you show how you play with your right hand, people nowdays seems to think its only about the freatboard playing.
Mick Ronson does not get the credit he deserves as a guitarist. It may not have been the most technically blinding solo, but he managed to make his guitar sound like the future. That’s the only way I can describe that solo.
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun is otherworldly. It transcends guitar playing. The ending with the bombs 💣 exploding and jets flying over and then the bombs exploding and people screaming the cries of war…what guitarist has ever even came close to being able to replicate Hendrix’s control of feedback and dive bombs from Machine Gun or the Star Spangled Banner? No one has even come close. I’ve heard SRV try it, Steve Vai…Van Halen’s dive bombs were 2nd best but he also had a Floyd Rose and better equipment. Don’t get me wrong, this is one of the greats but Jimi on Machine Gun is untouchable imho. He was more than a musician and guitar player. He was a force of nature that channeled the sounds nature. Wind, British Ambulances, bombs, screams, his wah playing is also untouchable. But Ronno was one of the best for sure and this is one of the best but I wouldn’t put anyone above Jimi. EVH’s solo on Live Without a Net and Jimmy Page’s solo from Dazed and Confused from The Song Remains the Same with the violin bow. But Ronno was for sure the man and kicked ass and I especially love his MKI Tone Bender, cocked wah and Les Paul tone. Easily one of the best. Something about that MKI Tone Bender, it just sustains forever.
Mr. Casswell was a great guitarist and artist and did a great cover of this Bowie classic. Mick Ronson would’ve been proud of this one. He died way too young.
Astonishing brother. Other people have used effects as instruments, but this blew my early teenage mind. Would you please let us know which effects pedals Mick Ronson was using back in the day to produce such a mind blowing sound, or was it augmented in the studio? Thanks so much for your amazing work. God bless.
OMG, incredible! Did you do the backing track as well? If not, where did you get it? This song has a very personal connection for me. I've got a cover version in progress, but just about to start the MIDI programming. Now it seems pointless. Can I use some of this, if I always credit you? The guitar is just flawless and precise as all hell!
your own part inthe continued of the solo is good , i would really like to learn theory of armonic and scales aplied to improvisation solo that you can recomend me , please , thank you
Excellent job!! That second chord in the chorus - is that a D with a B on top? Mick plays it differently in the live version it seems looking at the 73 farewell show footage. Looks like he makes a barre chord at the 7th fret but with the B played on the low E string (not that it's possible to clearly make out in the mix).
Good call - assume that's what's being played on the acoustic guitar part for the studio version. I'm still not exactly clear what Mick's playing on the live version. As i said, it looks (grainy film from 1973!) like he makes a barre chord at the 7th fret but with a B played on the low E. Notwithstanding the fact that Mick re-recorded some of the guitars day after the final show. Definitely worth listening to Visconti's commentary to the DVD.
D/F# can also be played as a (partial) barre by fretting strings D+G+B at seventh fret plus A string at ninth fret. If you play the partial barre with your first finger and hit the F# with your third, your thumb will naturally rest over the neck onto the sixth string at the seventh fret (the B), but is just dampening that string. I bet it's that.
sweet! i hope my neighbors like it as much as i do cause these bose speakers ARE LOUD!!! one complaint (and its minor) is at 4:04 i need micks "knocks".......

Excellent...A wonderful homage to the genius of Mick Ronson.
No-one does a cover like Michael what a loss, life is so cruel
The solo, that’s what I came for. Finally found what I was looking for. Amazing. Beautiful.
Great Cover of the Legendary Guitarist Mick Ronson’s Amazing Solo In Moonage Daydream. Ronno also played Piano & Strings in the Song. This Cover is Absolutely Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Totally nailed the sound and the part. Superb!
defintly one of the best solos ever.. thanks Nacho!

A top five guitar solo of all time right there. Masterfully executed!
God bless Mick and Michael.

He’s basically using his virtuosity to the best of his ability as a composer and arranger.
great - the original might be the greatest solo in rock
antonyhume hume lol
Perhaps, But not this version ! 😂

What a player Mick Ronson was hey? Fuck me! he was soo good & original.
It’s like I am hearing this for the first time in my basement back in 1972. Wonderful!
That's the best I heard since I heard Mick do that back in 1973 good job my friend
That was a virtuoso performance. Beautiful.
You nailed it!...the more i hear mick ronson, the more i now know who randy rhoads borrowed from, respect to both masters! 😌👏🏻
amazing job..sad to hear of Michael Casswells passing..R.I.P. Michael, Mick and David.
I never clicked so fast when I knew it was Michael Casswell playing Mick Ronson's legendary guitar work
Fantastic, Michael! Makes me realise just how good a guitar player Mick Ronson was!! Excellent!!!
Beautifully done. No other words to describe it.
Clean Man! In the true Bowie/Ronson style. Easy for me to learn the chords, too. A musical internet treat.

One of the best tutorials I've seen online! Is your version tabbed anywhere? There are a few bits I just can't get right (I'm a beginner).
Nice job and a gorgeous Les Paul

Guardians of the Galaxy brought me here!
THANKSSSS
Near the end when he is doing the double bend you are thinking that its going off key but pulls up and that is the great little things about guitar
Mr. Casswell was a great guitarist and artist and did a great cover of this Bowie classic. Mick Ronson would’ve been proud of this one. He died way too young.

Wah wah pedal to give the honky tone, a load of delay and your amp on full blast is pretty much it
De la ptm!!!!!
amazing man
Dat Bend Solo
Any chance for the solo at the end to be put into tab?
OMG, incredible! Did you do the backing track as well? If not, where did you get it?

The guitar is just flawless and precise as all hell!
I found the karaoke mix, so if you don't want me using yours, it's cool. But yours sounds better.
Ben Culture it's from lick library.com, there you can get the backing tracks
+Santiago R so how do you get an account?...i cant access the thing-
+TheEDZEPPELINBAND www.licklibrary.com/ - that's the correct link
where can i find those chords? my eyes just can´t follow :(
sounds amazing!
+David Hermoza Yeah I'm pretty new to electric guitar and i would have appreciated a walk through with this.
@@claremcconnell9205 me too
Rip Michael.
your own part inthe continued of the solo is good , i would really like to learn theory of armonic and scales aplied to improvisation solo that you can recomend me , please , thank you
Dayum
wow man thanks
I don't think you can be a guitarist cause you already are and your a true one

Looks like he makes a barre chord at the 7th fret but with the B played on the low E string (not that it's possible to clearly make out in the mix).
D over F#. Think every other AC/DC song ever ;)

Que pedales usaste para lograr el sonido de la guitarra en el minuto 4:00 4:03
Tendrás el tab??!
You do Ronno just fine.
Woodmanseys' bass is the carrier and lets Mick go wild.
Bolder’s bass. Woodmansey was the drummer.
Trevor’s bass, ferchrissake😮!
what a great player you are can you do the lesson for this ,tony
sweet! i hope my neighbors like it as much as i do cause these bose speakers ARE LOUD!!!
one complaint (and its minor) is at 4:04 i need micks "knocks".......
