Jean Genie - David Bowie

[@jreagle58]

We miss you, JJ. Terminal intermediate players like myself fully appreciated your approach to lessons. If you don't possess the basics then move on to someone that tells you "place your 3rd finger on the 4th fret...". You're truly missed, James.

[@michaelcrawley5211]

Oh no please not be bad…. What’s happened to JJ?

[@telecasterhst69]

The best guitar tutorial on KZbin. No muss, no fuss…pure meat and potato instruction. The way it should be. Much appreciated. 🤘

[@stanleykostrzewski7222]

This is so good , I remember being blown away in '72 watching Bowie/Spiders at the Liverpool Boxing Stadium. Fantastic tuition.

[@gilesbrixton]

once again find my self here, thnx james james xoxo

[@robertgoodwinr6523]

Thank you for posting this one James!

[@sparky7718]

As long as you're doing Ronson, Width of a Circle is an obscure Bowie gem.

[@zalp66]

Great idea about flattening your fretting fingers in those first 2 chords. Makes it so much easier to play. Thanks.

[@SixStingsDarko]

Thanks! Straight to it, like it should be done!

[@philipheying4902]

Immortal. Thanks JJ for fanning this flame.

[@christophergrim3rdchannel610]

R.I.P. David Bowie. I can not Believe It's already been a Year!

[@RO8s]

Seven now - it's just all wrong isn't it?

[@listairgin]

Great one! Thanks so much 👌🌌🌠

[@thorpenator9148]

Best lesson on youtube period.

[@gregsadar1825]

I love how you demystify some of the coolest licks.

[@beatlessteve1010]

Damm P.T, I thought I lost you.... Its been a while since I tuned in because of work...but I'm glad I saved the last video of your previous channel...and you mentioned where you'll be...I consider you a fellow brother of music and guitar....I've always enjoyed your covers and lessons...I must of learned 100 songs from you...especially Led Zepp and Beatles.....Thanks for the great times!..

[@licksnkicks1166]

This is a lesson in itself! I love this song. Thanks JJ for some really great insight into this song!

[@ShellsMontana]

dude, so glad you are still at it after shutting down PT. Over the years, I've learned a buncha songs from watching ur vids. Thanks and keep rockin!

[@davidtregear3936]

great lesson/song... keen to learn your dirty pentatonic lead break style

[@tomseadon9965]

I know it’s been a while, just found this and have to say that the world lost a great musician who’ll always live on through music. R.I.P. David. A true legend! Cool trick lick BTW!

[@TheXboxman97]

Awesome! I love Bowie.

[@MichaelGerard-t2i]

You’ve become my favorite tutorial guy

[@davidthrower1553]

Love the Mick Ronson "trip" ........ FAR OUT as the lyrics say in Moonage Daydream. Could you please go on a Randy California "trip" and do a lesson on Spirit's version of Like A Rolling Stone from the Spirit of '76 album.Keep up the good work and keep those lessons coming. Thank you.

[@alonmo9]

Rock on friend, i enjoy every video you upload.

[@lifeguardlloyd]

Thank you!

[@danielgulotta2252]

Awesome, thank you!!!

[@rickcontreras59]

Thank you Ronson was very creative guitar player

[@emgpickupable]

Great interpretion of the song. You have the knack of putting a structure to lead guitar within the pentatonic boxes which makes it easier to play and teach. Well Done

[@gervais412]

a bit too much to drink, a laptop and headphones. Then i go to this guy.

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

I was always aware of this song of course but never really truly aware of it's AWESOMENESS!! The video is fucking amazing !! I can't stop playing this now! Muddy Meets Ziggy!!!!

[@jimsrv711]

I was just practicing rebel rebel, nice lesson btw. Now I'll give this a go) thanks

[@johncecilia4517]

Cool guitar

[@keiferreefer1]

James you win on guitar today, maybe it's my new headphones, more range, I'd say you nailed this one, as you were jamming there were times when it sounded like an epic rockin live performance, ya know, sometimes things are live and everything in sync, gives ya the ' wow' effect

[@cdog9559]

You got it bro!!!

[@kellyphillips1829]

Really awesome, always wanted to play the classic Bowie/Ronson tunes, I will be digging on these for awhile. Hey, while you're on the Bowie kick, would you mind throwing in Panic In Detroit, please?

[@gernblanston5697]

Kelly Phillips Oh yeah! Please?

[@Ou81269]

Rock’n’roll! 🤘🎸🎼

[@kingllama4570]

Wow that's an awesome guitar and job :-) I was wondering if you can do in the city by the eagles

[@mkvss3675]

I like the cleaner tone over the PT version. LP is different same amp?

[@brubeck1]

iv never seen anyone change from em to a chord like that interesting way

[@reserrvoirman]

Oh that les Paul, got the exact same guitar 74

[@stonz82]

luv the Bowie stuff - thx!!! was there any Bowie books in ur collection?

[@beatlessteve1010]

P.T what kind of electric is hanging in the back round ....the retro looking one?

[@tomseadon9965]

steve w Looks like an old Made in Korea model. My brother had one back in 73,looks identical almost. Just a guess. Same shape,especially the head stock!

[@thomasfarrow5650]

Hey man enjoy your videos. Have you put any T Rex on either of your channels?

[@jamesjames9275]

Thomas Farrow Check the privettricker channel.

[@JD0124]

I love all your videos, so I hate being at all, ummm.... critical(?). But I am pretty sure Ronson is playing choppy down stroke E chords during the verses - kinda like what you are doing here. But he's just opening the D string on each fourth chop to achieve an E7. Could be wrong, but I remember hearing him do that, and thinking to myself, "Oh! That's what he's doing!" But I came here because I knew you'd be able to show me the correct playing of the, "Let yourself go! Go!" slide up the neck.

[@michaelsingley5641]

What year Custom is that and what happened to it?

[@jamesjames9275]

It was a 1988. I sold it a few years ago.

[@philipheying4902]

I reckon this is the Ronson interview you mentioned? (The whole interview is captivating, but my favorite part begins at 38 minutes when he talks about how he came up with his sound "Well just plug in, turn it up and away we go... " and when he demos Jean Genie he does it just the way you play it here.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqsdaqghtV5r9E

[@jas2819]

Pick up the guitar and.....thrash it to death, really. 😂😂

[@drewhendrix502]

Notes are missing in the verses. Open notes

[@muckaxe]

Could you do a video for Cracked Actor?

[@kylearmacost2009]

Mick Ronson, is that you?

[@jamesjames9275]

I'm not worthy of carrying his guitar case.

[@Genjokoan]

***** No, it's Suzi Quatro.

[@Genjokoan]

***** A thumbs up to the first person to get the joke... correctly.

[@1p6t1gms]

***** Hammersmith Odeon

[@Genjokoan]

1p6t1gms And here is your thumbs up. Although, you could have been a little more specific. ;) Let's see if anyone else get's it.

[@frankhovis]

Sounds too much like ‘Blockbuster!’ by The Sweet.

[@jamesjames9275]

It’s the other way around.

[@jas2819]

They are very similar, I always thought. Even back in the '70's. 🤗🤗
