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
