[@timwilson755]

love the song and the lesson but would really help to include the strumming patterns on the website (you seem to be using a few different ones here and its a little hard to pick up from the diagram on the video) :)

[@lukalukin4177]

Hi man . I’ve searched a lot around internet. U have the best videos to play songs. Much more convenient than any others

[@jmmacb03]

I've enjoyed your tutorials for years. I love that you sing AND that you show the chords and play it through right off the bat.
Cheers, in these crazy times. ☮

Hi, I have been playing on and off since I was about 15 but only with real dedication for the last 8 - 10 years. The first year or so is the most difficult as the guitar has such a steep learning curve; things will click with practice (I am not a natural player). Playing along to the original recordings is a great way of learning rhythms just don't pick anything too tough to start with.
I wish you all the best.
Cheers.
Alan :)

[@michiel20]

Best way to learn a song, you can easily play allong, and that's how you learn fastest. Not with endless chatting like martyzwartsch does...

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you Michiel :)

[@lewryGrant]

totally agree .not one to slag anyone else off but it had to be said man.

[@GerardoPradoSegura]

he is really good but that much chatting distracts a lot

[@maya-hx7xf]

Michiel Depoortere I couldn’t agree more oml

[@prandz420]

some people like to be talked through things especially learning licks for playing lead. Talking not as necessary for strumming rhythm.
Love alan robinsons style though

[@kaffeine69]

This is exactly how I needed to see it in order to learn it with the frets and the chords with finger placement

[@guitartutorman]

All the best with it :)

[@vanhewitt]

Absolute brilliant guitar lessons. So easy to understand. Thank you very much.

[@29memyselfandi]

I really like how you sang it using your own tone. A lot of people adopt Bowie’s vocal style when singing this. Lovely stuff.

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you, much appreciated :)

[@mikebquick]

you can get lyrics anywhere. but seeing them while learning the song and the timing of them would really be the tops. sorry i know im a pain. you are the best on line tutor and you could be better. thank you mikey b.

[@frankhernandez7401]

thanks not even in my wildest dream thought I could play space oddity back in the early 70 s when I heard it for the first time now I mastered it thank y guys

[@guitartutorman]

As you say, the F chord is the only real challenge in this song (it has a pretty slow rhythm). Best of luck with it and thanks for your support.
