hi everybody Greg here and we're going
to play David Bowie's Space Oddity I'm
gonna go through all the chords first
and show you what the chords are then
we'll play the song along with David
Bowie with slow down software all right
we'll use song surgeon slow it down and
then listen to it and play along with it
so that you can learn how to play it
alright here we go
okay let's go through the chords we're
going to need for Space Oddity we start
off with F major seven F major seven is
like an F chord that you don't bar that
first finger one on the second string
two on the third string second fret 3 on
the fourth string third fret F major
seven all right the next chord we're
going to use is E minor two on five two
on four with your third finger
okay then c-major one on the second
string first fret two on the second fret
fourth fret fourth string amine three on
the fifth string third fret there C
major then just lift this finger up and
put it on the third fret right here our
second fret of the third string you have
a minor
okay then an a minor with a G base so
you have a minor and you take your
little finger and put it on the G note
right here so anytime you see a minor /
G that's going to be an a minor chord
and the the fifth string right here is
the basement of a minor but if it says G
its assigning a new bass note to it that
means G okay then D with enough sharp
bass so that's going to be like this
second finger on the second fret of the
sixth string third finger on the second
fret of the third string little finger
on the third fret of the second string D
with an F sharp base E major is second
finger on five third finger on four
first finger on three there's a major
then straight up F then F minor F minor
is where you're gonna take your first
finger and follow and and put all three
of these strings and your third finger
is gonna go here on the third fret of
the fourth string
moving that a note down to a flat
okay b-flat I'm gonna play B flat like
this three fingers here on four three
and two third fret on four three and two
second finger third finger little finger
first finger on the first fret the first
string there's B flat G first finger on
2nd fret of the fifth string third
finger on 3rd fret of the 6th string
third finger on 3rd fret of the first
string major a major first finger on the
second front of the fourth string second
finger on the second fret of the third
string third finger on the second fret
of the second string there's a major D
major first finger on the second fret of
the third string second finger on the
second fret of the first string third
finger on the third fret of the second
string
eise evan is gonna be first finger on
the first fret of the third string
second finger on the second fret of the
fifth string
see with a G base so here's a C chord
you can put your third finger up here
and put your little finger on the C note
here so it looks like a C Corps but your
third finger moves up here to the third
fret of the sixth string
you're gonna finger replaces where that
was at okay so the strong pattern that
I'm gonna be using for a lot of this
song is gonna be down down down down
down down
one knee and
we have the party
so those are like sixteenth note bass
drum this whole thing takes one measure
to do that so in the intro it goes F
major seven
and on the recording it fades in
not bathing in
you know the bass and the drums
diviner
okay now here's a real interesting part
this instrumental part that happens here
the acoustic guitar is going to go okay
that's pretty close to what they're
strumming
so I take the seed go down F Abdallah G
down top and a down down to like
Orchestra gets right okay now let's play
it with the song surgeon and let's play
along with David Bowie here we go
song surgeon is set at about 80% and it
fades it in the beginning
