David Bowie - Space Oddity guitar lesson Found this useful? Please consider supporting me! Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LeftHandedMatt Support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/LeftHandedGuitarist These intermediate videos are designed for players who have some experience. The songs will use full barre chords or complex rhythms. I try to present the chord shapes as they were played on the original recording. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players! Space Oddity is a classic song that many people want to learn to play, and then get put off when they realise how many awkward chords it has. I often had trouble wrapping my head around the way this song works due to the seemingly random chords, but in the process of working on this video and watching live performances of the song, I believe I worked out the actual chord shapes David Bowie uses and the song seemed to fit into place much easier. Notably, the unusual (but comfortable to play) Em7 shape really works with the song. This shape is then utilised further during the guitar solos as it gets moved up the neck to create some very pretty sounds. Also, the very peculiar shape used in the G-E7 change towards the end of the song was something of a 'eureka!' moment. I've not found another transcription that uses these shapes (I'd love it if somebody knows of one that does). Working them out really brought the song to life for me WEB: http://www.mattnotley.co.uk/guitar TWITTER: http://twitter.com/LeftHandedMatt FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Matt-Notley-Guitar-Tuition/123213157768033# Guitar songs for beginners (level 1) playlist https://goo.gl/xeY9h4 Guitar songs for beginners (level 2) playlist https://goo.gl/WYAHiR Guitar songs for beginners (level 3) playlist https://goo.gl/EOMaiw Intermediate guitar songs playlist: https://goo.gl/niCmmd 1960s lessons playlist https://goo.gl/Dqr87G 1970s lessons playlist https://goo.gl/2eojsu 1980s lessons playlist https://goo.gl/DYgHfL 1990s lessons playlist https://goo.gl/wIeJRD 2000s lessons playlist https://goo.gl/OB6HU7 2010s lessons playlist https://goo.gl/MDEKVU Gary Jules - Mad World guitar lesson https://goo.gl/HA5jfx The Eagles - Hotel California guitar lesson https://goo.gl/8CE6nS David Bowie - John, I'm Only Dancing guitar lesson https://goo.gl/OqQrX8 David Bowie - China Girl guitar lesson https://goo.gl/mpAc2C David Bowie - Suffragette City guitar lesson https://goo.gl/476weV Queen - A Kind of Magic guitar lesson https://goo.gl/XkTVZh Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way guitar lesson https://goo.gl/QUDwNS Oasis - Wonderwall guitar lesson https://goo.gl/1AxUL2 Oasis - Live Forever guitar lesson https://goo.gl/GXI3EE John Lennon - Oh Yoko! guitar lesson https://goo.gl/UkPBrh George Harrison - My Sweet Lord guitar lesson https://goo.gl/vC2slA The Beatles - Eight Days A Week guitar lesson https://goo.gl/EL0BJ2 The Beatles - You've Got to Hide Your Love Away guitar lesson https://goo.gl/1QuCAK The Beatles - Love Me Do guitar lesson https://goo.gl/UEYU8P The Beatles - The Ballad of John & Yoko guitar lesson https://goo.gl/2VBpau Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son guitar lesson https://goo.gl/0BIXZw
