Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

[@taur611]

Just watched the Mick Ronson documentary. What an amazing guitarist and composer. I play this now everyday for a warmup. The great thing about learning covers is that the more you play it the more you pick up on the little nuances and appreciate the piece so much more. Thanks for posting this.

Best line from the Mick Ronson video when asking about his tone he replied, "Ya plug it in, turn it up, and away you go." Brilliant.

Love that bendable LP!!! Ziggy was King back in the early 70's!!!

[@zx7gp]

Beer lights to guide us, crushing sweet hands, damn this is rock and roll. Absolutely LOVE THE BAUHAUS VERSION.

[@playit00]

Love this classic!! Awesome job!! Cheers!! :)

[@tylercool223]

Hey man, can you do a video on Moonage Daydream by David Bowie?

[@doncharlesworth4748]

All your lessons are great, thank you!

[@doomhammer4664]

One song I know how to play, and love it.

[@johnnysevengun]

Top work, James James. The best lesson I've seen on KZbin.

[@jrpipik]

Excellent. It might be fun to see what the acoustic guitar was doing (on the record version -- I don't know if they had acoustic live).

[@paigesanchez9975]

Sbeen long time Scriber since PVTR thank you!

[@kevinbishop7512]

Wowza! First time I saw you on that guitar. I was looking for an acoustic and of course you popped up. Hope all is good with you and yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@blkjakk]

My favorite song from that Album. 👍🏻

[@44scoots]

Great lesson!!! The H.O.G., love it!

[@seanandangegray6842]

Don't know if watching you was a good thing or bad thing for me, I'm never gonna be able to play that good no matter how much I practice. Awesome.

[@markrosenquist8259]

What? Come on bro, you won’t with that way of thinking. You have to start that PMA and practice and I guarantee you will get it. This post was from 6 years ago so I hope you are shredding now bradda 🤙🍻

[@Dram1984]

It's been 6 years, thought I'd check in on your progress :p

[@videostore3544]

Actually so simple but so bloody iconic!

[@liors94]

Great stuff, keep up the good work. Great riff from Bowie.

[@andyh7895]

You mean Mick Ronson.

[@jaym4958]

very nice, thank you, JAY,

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

You really got that Half Cocked Wah Ronson tone going

[@franksullivan8317]

Good job as always.

[@zx7gp]

Great stuff! Have you heard Bauhaus cover this? Daniel Ash plays it well. Thanks JJ

[@markh.2899]

Thanks, bro-love it!

[@eoinkavanagh8962]

love your Gene Wilder reference

[@stonz82]

well done, gotta learn this one - thx

[@123joelad456]

Hey man i like to use the D triad up on the 7th fret with the D G and B strings barred with the hammer on on the B string for that D, for the intro etc, sure ive seen mick ronny do it before somewhere too. :)

[@jamesjames9275]

+joe barrow I saw a clip once of Mick doing it that way. No idea why he did, though, because it doesn't change anything to the sound, at least not that I can hear. Still, who can argue with Mick's choices?

[@123joelad456]

I kinda just find you can get abit more of a slide up to it and more of a spikey sound with it. I tend to use the standard D when playing it on my acoustic and the triad on electric hahaha

[@kingshearer2]

Superb

[@nataliefielding9051]

Can you show us how to play my death by David on the Santa Monica album

[@oldsmokie101]

In the film you referenced, I think he ran down, b g d a, not up from a ? But anyhoo this sounds equally great as all your interpretations do. Ronson 'If you turn it right up It's hard not to get a good sound' Not what my neighbours think...

[@markrosenquist8259]

Awesome!!!🔥🙌👏👏. What guitar is that? Sounds great.

[@MrFrampo56]

It’s a Gibson Les Paul Custom Pretty sure. You can tell by the square fingerboard inlays which include fret one. Gold hardware too. He may have modified the pick ups and other stuff, can’t tell. Yours for about 4k. :)

[@sparkyguitar0058]

Same as Ronny's but he sanded off the body

[@Tambo74]

I wish i could talk to you because I'm loving these lessons.. but id like to know where I'm going wrong, I guess its just a matter of time though bro, but i'll get there.

[@badboy7182]

What is the video called with the blue tele??

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

Cool Ronson LP

[@dr.hookyeah2883]

David Bowie? I always thought this was Katherine Hepburn.

[@calebproductions5970]

Cool thanks

[@bossstatus582]

is that a les Paul ? very nice tone

[@jamesjames9275]

+Thomas Magana It's an "Orville by Gibson" Les Paul Custom, one of the early ones from around 1988.

[@bossstatus582]

+James James ohh OK nice ! ty for replying

[@MrFrampo56]

@@jamesjames9275 Is it? Wow! Great sound. I thought it was a Gibson LP Custom. With your highly impressive stable I assumed it would be a Gibson. I must try one. :)

[@kevinmarshall353]

Nobody seems to know how to play this song right. Mick played the D chord up on the 7th fret

[@jamesjames9275]

We’re not into all that “I know how to play it and you don’t” stuff on this channel. If you read through the comments on this video, you’ll see that we’ve discussed this already. If you want to be constructive and respectful, stick around. If you don’t, we won’t miss you.

I don’t know why, but I have a craving for chocolate all of a sudden.

Is that a TV or LCD computer screen behind you?

[@townsey5612]

Tv

[@Bernard-Shakey]

Mick Ronson ftw

[@andywells397]

Effortless, a sign of a hot guitar player.
