    So much still left to learn from Bowie. Saying he was ahead of his time would be an understatement.

    I love this song it is one of the only songs I actually sing while I play it (I don't sing well though)... I don't think music could ever be like this this now days but I wish it were.

      Mick Ronson and the Spiders left Bowie before Diamond Dogs came out. I think Mick’s last Bowie record was Aladdin Sane.

    • @ziggypop79
      @ziggypop79 2 роки тому

      I think Mick might have arranged some of these tracks before he left, sounds like the Spiders.

    Great lesson. I've loved this song ever since I first heard it on the radio when I was in high school. Thanks for making it clear and with playable licks.
    BTW, you must be a Buffalo guy because I see your "Flutie Flakes" and Genesee beer sign in the background. Lol

    Bowie kinda sounded goofy at times, but it looks quite hard to play

  • @jreagle58
    @jreagle58 2 роки тому

    That was great. Spot on but you left out that that little riff right at the very end of the song as the piano was finishing the ascending octaves of A.
