Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie | Guitar Lesson

[@barryoneill1703]

I'm a huge Bowie Fan, I'm only getting down to learn to play my guitar recently at 56, I'm so grateful to you for being on you tube, Wish I'd had you years ago, Thank You.

[@armingilsdorf9675]

Barry Oneill same here - me now 58. Big fun! And Justin helped a lot to get started. Thx!

[@Ronno4691]

Don't forget - the Watch That Man guitar intro is G to Cadd9!

[@pacosoria8549]

Me too at 57

[@adavila49]

hope still rocking at 60

[@sleepynova4840]

I'm only 13 but due to my parent's good taste in music, I've listened to bowie for years and have also just started playing guitar, though i have been playing violin for about 4 years.

[@ASquared007]

You are going above and beyond today, Justin. We all GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

[@artartsen2898]

I don't think I've ever felt this sad after someone I didn't know personally died

[@DMSProduktions]

+Art Artsen Ditto on that 1!

[@jacksonoberhauser4322]

Him and Elliott smith were heartbreaking

[@stufromoz8164]

+Les Paul Is there a particular reason why you chose the Seymour Duncan twin coil for your profile pic???

[@marcusfsproductions]

+Art Artsen when paul walker died.. i dropped a tear or two back in 2013

[@rafaelpretto292]

+Jackson Oberhauser AND John Lennon

[@kato64]

The first song I ever learned to play by myself. No tabs, no sheet music, nothing. And well before anyone ever heard of KZbin. Just sheer repetition/experimentation with the chords I knew, until I got it to sound right. I still can't believe how much Mr. Bowie's passing is hitting me. I'm deeply saddened by the loss of someone who's music has been so much a part of my life. I know I'm not alone in that.

[@DestroyIhosh]

I´m so happy that after a year of practicing guitar with your videos and others too I can FINALLY play this soong!! One of my favorites Bowie songs, thank you for being such a great tacher Justin, greetings from Costa Rica!!

[@budandbean1]

Another fitting tribute to David Bowie, thank you Justin. Outstanding...💔 ☮

[@Postmodern_Jesse_James]

Look at justin while the playthrough. He enjoys it more, with every second... music from the heart. Thanks justin!

[@NicholasPaquetR]

A lot of feel in those vocals justin, great job!

[@AshAlmond1]

RIP David Bowie, what a great way to celebrate his genius work with your brilliant tutorial. Great job Justin!

[@StephenBranney]

Haven't played my guitar in yonks. But this made me dust it off and have ago. Many thanks for sharing. I was so so lucky to see Bowie as Ziggy in 73, here in Oxford. The costume changes, mime and friends from school with flashes on their faces. Fantastic gig. His best era for me. If you walked round school carrying Ziggy Sardust, Alladin Sane or Hunky Dory you were the dogs.

[@SebastiaanSchaghen]

Beautiful mate. Even the description story is moving, because it's true. Lazarus describes it all, what a parting gift! The legacy of Ziggy will always be in my heart. Great lesson again, thank you.

[@itsnothost3181]

Rest in peace, Ziggy Stardust✨💫

[@walthermauser4140]

Mick Ronson Rest in peace.

[@paulboomer4794]

This man and this album brought a whole new genre to rock and roll. Thanks Justin !

[@Tzadeck]

This looks super fun and the way you play it works super well as a solo acoustic jam. Will definitely learn when I have a bit more time in February. And we miss you, Ziggy!

[@silashaun3918]

May David Bowie rest in paradise

[@UrsulaTannenscheidtStrickt]

three days ago I first touched a guitar. Yesterday I bought an E-guitar on EBay. Today I play Ziggy Stardust. Oh my gosh I just love it!

[@roberteastwood9886]

My favourite bit of the lesson is when you say "this is so much fun to play...." sums it up for me!

[@EllyCamperChic]

thank you justin. you are too good to us

[@pikelesdenagar]

Amazing, Justin. The Bowie Magic is join all of us in a most peculiar way.

[@kromedge]

I don't often comment on these tutorials but in this case I have to commend you Justin for doing this. David Bowie was legendary and this takes me back some 40 years (yeah I'm 60) and it stirred a lot of old memories. People these days are very fortunate to have people such as yourself posting these videos. We used to learn this stuff by listening to the record or cassette tape and sheet music if you were fortunate enough to even find it anywhere - and it certainly wasn't free. My hat goes off to you for this one - very well done!!

[@elliotvernon7971]

Watching this brought some tears to my eyes and a guitar to my hands. Thanks Justin, a beautiful lesson.

[@FrancisFieldingesq]

* * * * * 4:44 Intro, 11:30 Verse, 17:20 Chorus,

[@samsfingerstyle3200]

R.I.P Bowie...even though I wasn't born in his era I still appreciate and love his music... His legacy lives on...

[@MrRandal505]

Thank you again Justin, you are a great teacher. You were right on putting this up straight away...RIP David Bowie

[@AtomicThrillGaming]

my all time-favorite david bowie song. rip. thanks as always for your great work, justin.

[@spurvis67]

Thank you so much Justin!!!! So fantastic. I don't really know how to play the guitar AT ALL (that makes 3 instruments I don't really know how to play the piano, the trumpet & the guitar), however now that my 8 year old son is almost playing better than I am I thought I would come back to it. This video is something I played with a while ago but then gave up on, figuring I would never be able to play it. You have now taught me how to play Ziggy Stardust!!!! I have figured it out thanks to you. Bowie was such an incredible gift to our world, was lucky enough to see him 3 times and his music is still as impactful in my life as it ever was. Now that my son has taken up the guitar I can't wait to teach him about Bowie. I've never wanted to steer him towards who he likes and doesn't like, other than raising both my children on The Beatles. He has had his stages already, Kiss, The BeeGees, (living in Canada) The Tragically Hip, The Band, Elton John but I have slowly started to introduce Ziggy Stardust into his life, this will go a long way. Friday night he is playing his first Open Mic, he is going to play Love Me Do!!!! Thanks again Justin!!!!

[@DMSProduktions]

NICE job Juz, Bowie was such an icon! Ziggy & the Spiders, 1 of my favourites! NOT surprised you too are shattered by his loss!

[@kortt]

Thanks Justin, that cleared a few things up for me with this tune. RIP David Bowie

[@junglerful]

Really big "thank you" for detailed explanation of this great song. Perfect way to learn and give respect to David`s legacy...

[@jonarlin6527]

A single sorry seems improper. I expect no more apologies! You sir changed my life! 4 years later,... Dunno, music is great!

[@TheChaslak]

Nice one Justin. The perfect tribute. Blackstar is indeed stunning. Pushing the envelope until the end, Absolutely chilling how the great man has gone with a deliberate and starkly beautiful artistic statement on his own passing.

[@alanhehe4508]

Love this lesson, thanks mate! RIP Bowie..we miss you!!!

[@gazstaf]

Funny in a way, I have had a David Bowie C D playing non stop in my car all through Xmas and new year( Reliving my musical youth), and I have been marveling at how creative he and his band were, just to come up with endless music just amazes me. I think anyone who had Bowie's music as a backdrop to their lives, felt or witnessed something very special. Well done Justin on doing a Bowie classic. Cheers "Look at those cavemen go, it's the freakiest show. Is there life on Mars?"

[@parsonsprod]

U R AWESOME!!!! there's no other adjective to describe how much you have helped people learn how to play the guitar. Ziggy would b proud :)

[@emmawebber9438]

Huge kudos to you, Justin, for doing these two Bowie songs, at such short notice. There are plenty of others we would love to learn, maybe in the near future? As it stands, a major, (or should that be, A Maj) 'Thank you' is in order, for being so cool and making these videos. :-) xx

[@dpa103304]

Alway a pleasure spending time with you, Justin. So good, as always. Thanks.

[@simonjohn6108]

Thanks for taking the time to do this lesson on this sad day, Justin. Now we can all be Ziggy!

[@jojo1234a]

I couldn’t have ever dreamed of playing this. I watched your video, 3 hours later after watching your video a few times and lots of practice, I’ve nailed it. Another awesome song in the bag, thank you so much Justin. By the way, I’m a total beginner, picked up a guitar for the first time 3 weeks ago. Awesome video, you are an amazing teacher. I have Yousician, it doesn’t work for me, but your videos really make sense to me and I’m so pleased with my progress.

[@naileN13]

Just managed to play this one decently for the first time ! Thanks for the great vids and dedication - much appreciated !

[@mattlast4093]

your counting & strumming techniques never cease to amaze me !

[@GranulatedStuff]

Holy crap you're a superb tutor. Can't believe I've just found this channel !

[@scottsedam2460]

Thanks, man. For today, but also for the past few years you've been teaching me.

[@quailstudios]

Way to go Justin. Thanks so much for this lesson. Good job on the performance part of this video BTW.

[@hanxstiff5760]

Rebel Rebel, used to give me fits to play. Thanks Justin. RIP David Bowie.

[@vkunkel1]

Thank you Justin! Such a good job! Feeling so sad from the loss of David.

[@FXJunky]

Nice break down of the whole song, thanks! Helped me get my chops cleaned up on this one a lot

[@donaldwolpert6356]

Thanks, Justin, for the tribute lesson. Ziggy Stardust was a perfect choice at this time. A little sad but defiant. Something we needed during our hurt, and celebrate David’s life, talent, and music. Again, thanks.

[@portisheadjumpropeclub2276]

So glad I found your site. Wanted to learn a Bowie track in respect to the man and this is just perfect. Thank you

[@rockeeberlin2853]

You are a good teacher Justin. Thank you. I used to play. I got rusty. Glad to be playing again.!!!

[@WillyMcCoy50]

I met Ronno in Seattle and he showed me the correct way to play the song. I said I wasn't happy how anemic the pinky trill sounded when I hit the D chord. He showed me that he played it like a barre chord D hammeron to give it a bigger "tone".

[@johnbrown6012]

Justin, this is the best tutorial i have ever watched and there's some good ones out there. Superb job superbly delivered

[@sdriza]

wow..... i'm floored at how good hia example waa

[@nezznation3469]

[@philsstuff]

Just what I needed today. Thanks so much for putting this together. Even a beginner like me can manage to play a tribute to the man.

[@Earlybay68]

A gracious tribute Justin - Thank You! 👊

[@DaveWarnedYou]

Thanks man, this sounds awesome and, as usual, you've done an outstanding job explaining all the subtle nuances that make this such a cool song. So sad to lose such an influential & creative musician, but being able to learn some of his stuff and "pay tribute" to the man lessens the pain a little. Thank You Justin, keep up the great work and all the best to you & yours in the new year! P.S. and thank you SO MUCH for the "black friday" dvd bundles you offered, I've been thoroughly enjoying the huge pile of DVDs that came in the mail a few weeks ago!!!

[@thaisbonato6518]

Thank you so much, Justin. This video helped me a lot as a beginner in playing acoustic guitar. Cheers and happy new year!

Hi Justin, I learnt this and love playing it. Would you be able to do another Bowie song? I'd love to learn Oh! you pretty things. No decent tutorials on KZbin of that one and would be fun to learn :) Thanks for all you do! :)

[@mcrguitar316]

Thanks Justin, I was really hoping you'd do a Bowie song.

[@teeerex05]

Excellent tribute as always, thanks Justin.
