I miss him sooooooooooooooooooooooo much?????
I just got into David Bowie about a year ago. I was reading a book called The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik by David Arnold, and Bowie was very heavily featured in it. After reading that book I decided to listen to some of his music. After listening to his music I started listening to more oldies such as The Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead. David Bowie got me into really good music, and for that I thank him. He was an amazing man, and amazing musician. We never deserved him, but he was given to us so we need to appreciate him. There are no kids in my school who know who David Bowie is, much less listen to his music. We need to make sure that kids understand what good music is. I’m not saying musicians nowadays aren’t good, but musicians back then seemed so much more real, more invested. Of course there are talented musicians now, but it seems like most kids only listen to Pop and Todays Hits. This is not coming from a 30 something year old woman, this is coming from a teenager. We don’t need to forget good music and we especially don’t need to forget David Bowie. We miss you David.
i found that Am also worked in place of the Fmaj7
i luv this song
If you are finding the Fmaj7 tricky, try substituting it with an F. It sounds pretty good and it’s a lot easier.
The last ‘For here
am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do’
It should be ‘For here
am I floating in a tin can
High above the Moon
Planet earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do’
Other than that this is amazing! Space Oddity is one of my favourite songs!
Also with the Interlude i do, Fmaj7 Em A, then I hit my uke twice then I do C D E, and hit my uke twice.
It makes it sound kind of like the Interlude in the actual song
I like to do the Interlude 2 times and on the second time I do it I trashcan E (trashcan is pretty much doing DUDUDUDU super fast) and then I transition right into the next C and continue with the song
There’s another part before the interlude: c f g a
I wonder what people think of replacing the D7 that follows Am and Am7 in “Take your protein pills and put your helmet on” with Am6, fingered 2020 (aka F#dim). It’s essentially a D7 without a D string, but I like the sound of it progressing from Am to Am7 to Am6.
