Space Oddity Guitar Lesson - David Bowie - songs on guitar

Here's how to play Space Oddity by David Bowie on acoustic guitar.
This song uses open chords, but also many barre chords. However, Bowie in the music video for this song doesn't use barre chords, but rather uses the technique of having the thumb over the top of the neck. Therefore, I chose to teach this song as faithful as possible to how David play it in the music video, which you can find further down this page.

We love you Andy. My whole school has 22 students and the highlights of their day is your videos. Lots of love from here in Iran....

[@taasinbinhossainalvi9173]

Hi, just subscribed to your channel, decided at the age of 56 today to learn to play a acoustic guitar, just seen the first video in your learn to play in 10 lessons, going to be buying a guitar this week, I'm retired so got plenty of time lol, regards Graham.

[@tortmilk]

Wut 56 yr old say lol

[@thelarko16]

Hi Graham, are you still playing? I'm 3 months in now myself

[@grahamshobbies]

@@thelarko16 Hi, I'm not, I was taken ill and stopped, I'm recovered now, I've got back into photography so that's taking up my time now, never say never though.

You've got a great voice mate.

[@robertgumpi7235]

Good video. But one tip for you: At around 3:50 in the official video at „floating round my tin can“ you can see that he moves the Fmaj7/C chord (033210) two frets up which gives 055430 or EDGBDE which is just an Em7. Interesting way to play the Em7. Did not find this in any chord library but it works and it’s easy to grip. You can use it also in the intro.

[@Spanishflea.]

Started this song in my guitar lessons. Glad I can come here for extra help in-between classes

[@SaamRazmi]

I watched some of your videos almost 3 months and got inspired. I started learning classic guitar. I play 15-30 minutes a day. Hopefully, I would be able to play some songs in the near future. Thank you for your tutorials.

Chorus is displaying EM but you are saying and playing C 😮

It's literally fucking impossible to hit the first chord of the intro, i'm trying it for like 3 days already without a sing of advance. My hand just can't make it :V

Pink floyd gibi. Akorlari. Bos vuruyor. Lots of 7. Like pink floyd open cords.

Fa bar... Sounds bass... His voice tone is alto enough. Guitar needs to soften up the song. So open cords better for this song.

Bbmaj7 actually. And it's "shirt" not "clothes". Dreadful.
