[@dbwalker100]

Fabulous as always I always learn so much. How about a lesson on the classic. “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues”

Thought I was learning spit lord. Thanks for company trip the tamale smuggler

[@julesdegiulio2565]

Angela. I missed your live session by several months, but wouldn't have been able to follow you through this song before today anyway. Incredible breakdown of a truly genius Bowie classic, one I've been singing in my head since 1969. That said, there is one aspect of this that I think would improve your video. That is, chord placement in line with the lyrics. Some teachers accomplish this by singing the song, others by scrolling the chords and lyrics. Even without this, a wonderful presentation. Thank You!

Hi Angela, I couldn't play this version 2 years ago but going back to it now it's much easier as with anything else practice, practice , practice ! The little pinkie invited to this partie !!! Tom in Ireland 🇮🇪.. thanks...

[@rjlavergne4744]

Angela, I love your enthusiasm, your energy level & your excitement for music & teaching!! I thoroughly enjoy your lessons... Thank you for all of it.!!

[@KGale]

Hey Angela - I love your passion and teaching. I look forward to each session. I have a Taylor 224ce-K DLX that I bought mainly for looks. I’ve since pimped it up by buying a Thalia capo that matches the guitar, Thalia expressions rings, and brass bridge pins.

[@mws027]

I can’t believe I missed this one, I have been fighting with this for about a year and your first 12 minutes changed everything, Thank you your awesome 😎

[@Forgiven156]

Wow these songs are great for learning on acoustic. I was always into metal with power chords and scales for soloing and neglected get full chords and nice strumming techniques. You’re lessons are great for this, thanks

[@DaytonaShooter]

David Bowie with Angela Petrilli! The one day I miss you 'live' and you teach one of my favorite songs. I just love watching your joy and enthusiasm while you are laying down the play through for the lesson. Wish you didn't have to worry about KZbin police and could sing along. I enjoy being with you live, but am so grateful for the recording so I can go back and forth in my own time. Happy March! April showers are right around the corner. Oh, I forgot, it never rains in Southern California. 😇🙏❤🤘🍾🥂

50 years ago David Bowie was 50 years ahead of his time. Today he still is.

[@satyarisingsanctuary]

Tucson Arizona playing my Taylor. My favorite Bowie tune I’ve been wanting to learn… PERFECT!

[@MrJaimecoady]

Thank you! I was working on this song on my 1958 TG150 Gibson Tenor, my my new favorite old guitar.

[@wolfbrooks3786]

Hi angela your are a amazing spirit and personality and a pleasure for the eyes and ears your charisma is off the charts and playing and teaching guitar is absolutely your calling thank you very much for doing what you do for the guitar world bless you!

[@zzheyuh00]

Great Song! Great Lesson and Great Teacher and Guitar Player!

[@johngraydon506]

Your smile is so good its difficult to concentrate. But very cheery in this worlds dark times , good job on the teaching, make it fun for us older but keen types .

[@randycousineau9274]

One of my favourite tunes by one of my favourite teachers 🌺❤️

[@jimjiles4712]

Hi, Cedar Park here, I started acoustic guitar lessons in December at Austin Music with David there and I have a Fender DG-8S. I'm having a blast learning new things like this! :-)

[@mikeharmon5873]

Great song ,acoustics very soothing and spacey .

[@Citadel1974]

My dream guitar? Taylor Builder's Edition K24ce. The koa is beautiful and it sounds amazing. The inlays are soooo pretty and the mother of pearl logo is a nice touch.

[@kenmcf]

Tuning in from eaglerock ca...my favorite guitar is a Gibson 60's J-45 I recently got...and decided to learn this song..its sound is perfect for it.

[@fourieferreira9679]

Hi Angela! My name is Fourie Ferreira from South Africa. My favorite guitar would be a Martin (best sounding acoustic - my opinion), second, a Tailor. I can't afford either of the two though. I have learnt a couple of lessons from you. Thank you for your brilliant personality.

[@jamesmarchetti3286]

Great as usual! I hear you playing but in my head and memory I can still hear the12-string!

[@malachycarson5846]

this is the first thing i learned because it was in C and I still havent mastered it 40 yrs on. bowie was an underated guitarist.

[@brendafrehley2509]

Great teacher!! Thanks sis!!!

[@brendafrehley2509]

Outstanding thank you!!!

[@MrWiredawg]

That E7 chord form has a nice vibe! Thanks for showing that. You taught an old dog a new trick!

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Happy to help!

[@markbell7658]

I'm Australian and love anything coming out of the maton factory with Australian woods, I got a maton 12 string back when I was fanatical about learning John Buttlers Ocean song.

[@mikeharmon5873]

Very good and helpful. Thanks

[@willwilburn9473]

I LOVED the show "The Midnight Special". Late Friday Nights I would always try to be at home to watch it. I saw all the great bands live on that show.

[@buckbloomfield5419]

Angela Angle, were have you been? I would have been more enthusiastic threw my life if I had been able too have a teacher like you xoxoxoxo keep on being you ❤ 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸

[@GuitarAtWork]

Super. Cheers, Shane

[@jamespitman3357]

On the tricky am/g maybe u could remove your finger on the A 3rd string to place on the G. U will still have A 5th string and another G being the open 3rd string. Sounds OK to me and much easier. Great lesson with all the detail.

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

I'm not much of a Bowie fan really. I do like him, but I've never followed him. I have this album because a fellow music lover gave it to me as a favorite that she wanted to share. No denying it is quality music, just not my normal fare. But man does this sound great coming from a guitar in my hands, even if I suck. Great lesson!

[@marcelorodriguezhermandad7460]

Amazing song. Salute you from México City.

[@SteveMavronis]

I used to have an Ovation but never bonded with it. Since I play a Breedlove Pursuit Concert CE and love it.

[@mikeharmon5873]

Thank You

[@dwdrumz1]

Great lesson. Expansive song chordings beautifully played! My fav- is my Wasburn "Taho". With xtralights. Daddario I think. Been playing 7 years now as a senior....😉 your the best!

[@jamiecouanis7236]

I loved Learning from you,David did it like nothing because he's so talented. But for me its an effort. Like you say it's worth it. ❤❤ 29:16

[@aldenunion]

Scranton------1978 Yamaha FG336SB...I found one in a shop set up lefty with high action that everyone snickered at. I traded for it and set it back up righty realizing the truss was turned due to E high and E Low being different diameters. It came back factory minty with perfect action.. Even have Taylor and Martin but neither have this sound. Was Yamaha's answer to Gibson Hummingbird back then,if you see one minty Pounce!!!! SB= SUNBURST

[@JohnnyBGood544]

I'm using a MAYA me85 japanese Accoustic Guitar, medium strings

[@lovehategoddie]

I thought that in the sequence that goes a minor over g, that the pinky then goes to the the F flat over the a minor, and then to the d? Thats what I hear, it’s the same in “while my guitar gently weeps” by George Harrison , the pinky grabs the G, then the g flat, or f sharp , if you like while transitioning to the d.
