David Bowie - Starman | guitar lesson 

I am learning guitar now, this a very difficult song but your strumming is so clear that I can get super easy. Thanks man.

All them years I played that intro wrong mate. and there's another couple of chords in there i didn't no about. thank you tony UK

I've been playing guitar for only 3 months and yet your videos allow me to play so well!! I'm learning so fast, thank you!!

Great job. Bowie's chord styling so were very creative. Similar approach was used in Space Oddity.

Really the best lessons on youtube. So easy learn songs that way, thank you!

Finally a definitve version! Congratulations, thanks and greetings from Brazil.

yes, a video that shows the chords, strumming pattern, and a play along. Perfect video for learning

For the intro you can play an A chord on the third fret. It's a Bb with the E string open

Excellent, well done. Thanks. I really like the video lesson format that you use.

Good lesson, thanks from Brazil.

Great tutorial, thank you so much, now got to give it a try!

RighHandedGuitarist thanks you so much for this lesson!

You make it look easy

brilliant for such a short lesson, I've been meaning to learn this for years. I noticed on the original with Bowie playing the 12 string that there is a big cigarette burn near the hole of the guitar, so the guitar had seen some life.

Love your tutorial style, super helpful. Would've been awesome to have the little solo included too

Hi, from another left-handed guitarist. Not sure about the theory, but I find it more intuitive to think of the F#dim as a D7 over F#. Great tutorial. Thanks!

Wow, really nice learning video. I really like the left-handed chord shapes. Finally someone relizes there are also lefties. 😅😅🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

great, simple & straight forward

Как я рад что нашёл тебя, ведь я тоже левша! Сначала я подумал: -хмм, это так мило что он пишет аккорды и для левшей тоже, а то меня так достало переворачивать их у себя в голове, но потом увидел твою руку и обрадовался

Like a mirrow 😮. Nice tutorial, thnks!

This was very helpful thank u

That's awesome!

excellent tutorial many thanks

very useful :') thanks from Argentina

Love ur videos guy, in the first mooment i saw your good teaching ;D 1 viewer more, 4 sure!

Thanks to this vid, I can play the song now

Hanks for the tutorial. My guitar tescher and I are playing star man with this tutorial Kind regards dev 😊

Getting into guitars now after years playing bass - your videos are very good - thank you for your time, tips and knowledge!

LOKI?

Superb. Love the way the whole video was set up and I'm not a fan of many tutorials (Just Guitar 365, Carl Brown) but I'm gonna have to sub!

Great tutorial, thanks so much.

love it man!!! that shit was dope!!!

Wow, thank you very much, well donde

Thanks. Id come here after vewing Belew perfomance. Definitely like

Aha, someone else is finally hearing the high E to high F toggle in the intro. It's amazing that so many popular youtube videos completely ignore it. I'm not 100% sold on your theory as to how he plays it on record - musicians often change the way they play a song for live purposes (cf Keith Richards). Personally, I use my thumb on the low E-string, for the main chords and let the top E string ring out when playing the first two beats of the Bb chord (in VI position), then mute the E string with my index finger for the last two beats so that the F on the B string is the high note. And the same with the F chord (in I position)- leave the E-string open, then lower your index finger onto the high F. It seems truer to the album version than your approach, at least to my ears. But it's all subjective, and admittedly I haven't tested this with a 12-string guitar.

Muito boa aula, onde eu arrumo esse acompanhamento para violão, obrigado

You being left handed makes it so much easier to learn

Woaaaaaahhhh. Its cool maaaan 🤩🤩🤩

Okay, I pic you're method. I'll get back to it soon. Right on with the light on.

Thank you for this tutorial! But, when you played the song it seems like it's not the whole song, maybe in the end there is chorus again?

Here in Brazil,that song has another name but is the same acords,it's called "astronauta de mármore"

Hi! Your vids help me very much, and I appreciate your way of playing Bowie's songs greatly. I don't know if you read the comments after two years of publishing this video, but there's a question. I wonder how you mute open strings of the chord at 2:24. Thanks in advance :)

Good lesson, thanks from Ukraine

Nice one man. How do you make background sound?

merci beaucoup !

Bowie sure liked that Am/C chord

About the intro, in the Top Of The Pops performance of Starman, David Bowie is playing the first chord (Bbmaj7) the first way you showed it. I don’t know what videos or photographs you found of him doing it differently.

All I have to say is: David Bowie was a genius🤔 Bummer he's "gone from us...into the stars".🤔 "Atleast we still have Bowie." ~Wade Wilson/Deadpool "Yeeaaahhh...we still have Bowie." ~Weasel 🤣🤣🤣 Love me some Bowie🎶

Got everything down except that transition from F to Fm Diminished. So for now I'm using D7 lol

Épico

Hi! Great demo/ lesson thank you. What make and model is your guitar? It has a great sound. Thank you for a reply in advance 👍🌠🌌🌅

The best.. Compared to others

What does the "x" mean?

Is it in standard tuning?

What kind of guitar is that?

Hey la-la Oh, oh, oh Didn't know what time it was The lights were low, oh, oh I leaned back on my radio, oh, oh Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll lotta soul, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no DJ That was hazy cosmic trace There's a Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a Starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone, so I picked on you Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too! Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window, I can see his light If we can sparkle, he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright There's a Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a Starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a Starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

01:52 02:13 02:49 03:10 03:17

Took some effort ?....you bet ...but does not seems that way ..... regardless that was Awesome !!

Well done. Where can i donate?

1:54 just for help me

Left handed like Ziggy Stardust

....on the intro F, one can "cheat" a bit and not thumb that F note on the Low E. It allows you to accentuate the open high E which is the key to this intro. Without the play between the high E open and high F it's pointless to play it this way and better to just to do the first incorrect way I guess. The intro here is all about that high e. Another reason why this song is absolutely no joke. There's no real cheating. You gotta hit the notes

No one covers this tune. And theres a reason why. Its hard

Alguém em 2024 ?

Ok, but nice hair, dude.

I got it, the only problem is that I can’t bar a cord-

Man...holding the Bmaj chord is hard.

🏴‍☠️🔱🏴‍☠️ .

Бля надо на выходных попробовать главное не сдохнуть до воскресенья

This song is only for seasoned players. You better like Metallica & Megadeth first to learn how to downpick. You better have full chords ready to be able to play any of this. I've been playing twenty five years and this song is tricky tricky
