These intermediate videos are designed for players who have some experience. The songs will use full barre chords or complex rhythms. I try to present the chord shapes as they were played on the original recording. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!
Space Oddity is a classic song that many people want to learn to play, and then get put off when they realise how many awkward chords it has. I often had trouble wrapping my head around the way this song works due to the seemingly random chords, but in the process of working on this video and watching live performances of the song, I believe I worked out the actual chord shapes David Bowie uses and the song seemed to fit into place much easier.
Notably, the unusual (but comfortable to play) Em7 shape really works with the song. This shape is then utilised further during the guitar solos as it gets moved up the neck to create some very pretty sounds. Also, the very peculiar shape used in the G-E7 change towards the end of the song was something of a 'eureka!' moment.
I've not found another transcription that uses these shapes (I'd love it if somebody knows of one that does). Working them out really brought the song to life for me

Finally, a tutorial that actually sounds like the original guitar track.
Took a lot of time to get right, glad you like it!
This method is by far the easiest to follow along with. One of the best on youtube...Good job. Keep it up.

Very, very good. Best tutorial on TH-cam for this incredible song
Thank you!
HI mate great video i was trying to watch how Bowie played the chords around the 3rd fret g to e7 and now i no. I've got to say that E 7 chord i find hard thanks for the lessons
Excellent. Very clear and no bullshit.
Great job! I know what I'll be practicing when I get home tonight.
Best instructional guitar song lessons out there, especially for lefties like me. Thank you so much.
Always happy to help out a fellow lefty.
This is good stuff thank you !!!!
Thank you so much for this! I ve been searching for this chords for a long time. You re a very great player! Thanks again
Thank you :) I remember I spent a long time on this video trying to make it as accurate as i could.
It is perfect understandable!! Im right handed and got a little difficulty on that Fm chord, how do you make this double chord with the finger 1? Thank you
F minor can be a tricky one. How much experience do you have with barre chords? I tried to copy the way that David Bowie played the chord, but traditionally you would lay your first finger completely across fret 1. You need to build up strength in the finger, and press your thumb against the back of the neck for extra support.
Barre chords like, F, B, Bm and Fm are really important to learn, but people often quit when they first come across them because they seem crazy difficult. It's worth exploring and practising them.
LeftHandedGuitarist I'm a begginer, but already know how to play a few songs, also I've been practising the bar like F and Bm, and slowly getting some result.
I was looking for the version of how David plays the chords, because it seemed easier, and then I found your video, which was really helpful.
I'll keep practising these bar chords, but about that Fm chord, do you simply lay the first joint of the finger 1 and press those 2 strings? Thanks
Yes, in this case I have my index finger laying across the first 3 strings, but I've bent it so that it's not pressing down on string 1. You can see that sometimes I also have the finger there during the F major chord so that it's ready for when I need it.
Don't get too frustrated with it, it will just take a bit of time :)
Great! Thanks
your formate made it for someone like me who is a beginner to be able to play a few of the cords
Incredible
Muchas gracias!!, muy buen tutorial.
Oscar Campos De nada.

Excellent man! Loving your vids. Here's to us right brained folk eh. peace
hermoza cancion graciad x poner el grafico asi es mas facil je .. :)
+Yamila Almi De nada :)
any tips for barre chords? I'm trying hard to pull them but all I always end up doing is hurting my wrist :( and those are the only chords left for me to play the full song
D DUD DU UD UDU
(just left it here for myself to remember)
ty for sharing!
what's the strumming pattern here ?
que ritmo puedo usar?
+Cachitos ALE Están en las anotaciones.
chords like thefg180
Why is Fmaj7/E same shape as F? Shouldn’t you leave out the 3th finger
The two chords aren't the same. The open E strings are what create the new sound.
F is 1-3-3-2-1-1
Fmaj7/E is 0-3-3-2-1-0
@@LeftHandedGuitarist Oh I see, strings 1 and 6 are muted in the f chord shape you show and open in Fmaj7/E. Thanks!
Stanton down down up down
awesome............ slow it down a tad !!!!!
