Half of These are Mick Ronson Riffs and NONE are David Bowie licks. To say these are Bowie licks is either showing a complete ignorance of music and Bowie history or just be too lazy to find out. Carlos Alomar, Nile Rodgers, and Carlos Alomar and others played these riffs.
Of course - David did not play these parts on the recordings, and was known for working with these collaborators :) However he did write the songs therefore the riffs are accredited to his work! It would be an incredibly long title if I’d named all of the guitarists involved…. Ignorance - not one bit ;)
It goes to show that confidence is everything when it comes to music. I learnt how to play guitar by the age of 14 but used to highly underestimate my ability. I always believed that unless my playing was highly intricate and complex then my own music was worthless. Now that I look back on the greats like Bowie, Beatles, Stones, Chuck Berry etc I realise that they weren't particularly technical at all. They just committed to certain chords and layered them to the point an entire different genre was created.
