Space Oddity (fingerstyle guitar)

[Bazgann]

no way im gonna learn this.. even tabs dont help

[ohmygoshwhy]

This is really awesome. Favorited, and after seeing about 3 of your videos, I'm subbing. :) Thanks!

[glaskern]

Well, man... That sounds personal and warm, I do like your adaptation, my classical guitar will say thanks to you... as soon as I learn it ;o)

[bombaymatt]

Its great, im learning this for sure!!

[KobraKid95]

Also dude, please? any chance you can do a version of the song golden brown-stranglers? it would be SO good but know one has done it! pretty please? x

[KobraKid95]

i LOVEEEE that bass slide that you do, sounds so good,XD

[ironmonger100]

Hey Jason, Life On Mars brought me here ..superb atmosphere you created with this one, just right, love it. And a bass F# with the LH thumb on a Classical neck!!, you're more of a man than me lol :-)

[jawmunji]

@ironmonger100 Ha, hey Shaun, you know I could even wrap to the 5th string on that guitar, it's a narrow neck "crossover". These days I play on a full width 52mm neck - I can't grab the 5th but thumbing out F,F#,G I do as a matter of course...bad habits from my steel string days.

Interestingly my standard choice in F chord is 103211 thumb bass, index bar top two. It's often quicker and easier to change from other open chords than a barre version, but is still a full 6 string chord.

[xJaypuzzlex]

i dont like you video.... because it makes me feel bad about myself -_-

i wish i could play like that lol

[Kingpin0072001uk]

Oh wow, I was just about to try and arrange this song, thought I'd run up a search on Utube to see what the others attempts were like.... I feel now like I wont be able to even come close to to the sheer perfection that this is!

It's my first attempt at trying to arrange a song so I'm not expecting much anyway, have you got any advice by any chance? Would love some, lol.

Great video, inspiring 5*'s, or... thumbs up as it seems

[jawmunji]

@Kingpin0072001uk Thanks KPUK! I borrowed most of this from other arrangements I'd seen - that's the trick, don't re-invent the wheel! I sometimes write about arranging on my blog, follow the link on my channel to it.

JAW

[Kingpin0072001uk]

@jawmunji I think I will! Thanks for the reply!

very very good that mate well done

[lacacapopo]

How Can start playing the guitar like that?

Do you recommend something?

[bushpilot223]

Ground control to Major Tom.

[daveseckmusic]

Awesome, great minds must think alike :)

[jawmunji]

Ha, yeah, snap :)  We've gone down two separate paths though, which is the beauty of nylon stringers, well I guess "other types of guitars" as well. You can take the same thing, inject it with your own touch and have it quite different to anyone elses. I wish youtube was around when I was playing the guitar in my youth, who knows what may have happened with all the inspiration now to be found out there! ;)

JAW

[aaronracine]

that is great

[david01875]

wow you can play best ive seen.you make one guiter should like a band

[donkeykongslacker]

the way you frolic about --puzzles me why caint you sing it---you seem so damm taelnted-- ami dumber thenstone or do you have a voice????--no offence

[jawmunji]

Ha, well, it's instrumental fingerstyle, so there isn't meant to be any singing - that's what instrumental fingerstyle is all about all about - but more importantly I couldn't sing to save my life. Really. Yes, really. Nope, not even going to demonnstrate. Yes, really.

;)

JAW

[uncleparsnip]

nice version. where have you been? i thought you'd got lost in the bush or something

[jawmunji]

Day job has been consuming most of my time, any left over time is spent with the family, which leaves, well, nothing left for guitar...  You've been laying low yourself - got a CD out or something? ;)

JAW

[uncleparsnip]

have i been laying low? i have added about 10 new videos this month.

i didnt do anything in jan/feb becuase i couldnt be bothered. i have to be in the mood to play guitar these days...which isnt often.

anyway, glad u r back.

[saxonmor]

You're right, that came together very well!  Nice job.

[fanoguitar]

Good job! I didn't notice any pops. You hid them well :-)

[3rdEyeVision]

[Coldfire6699]

Nice one! keep'em coming!

[ratemyshi92]

[joliroi]

great job man

[dokgu11]

oh, nevermind, i saw the tabs at the bottom.. lol..

thanks again!

[JMDenver]

JAW, this is great. I love this song and your version. Thanks for the tab. I am going to enjoy trying to learn this one. New guitar sounds great!

[jawmunji]

Hey JMD, yep, I think you'll like learning this one. Make the strumming your own, I didn't completely spell it out in the tab, left it up to the player ;)

I was a bit dissapointed with the sound, I realised the video capture software had mashed it (pops and encoding noise), but I'd done about 6 takes and had already packed up and headed inside (still doing performances in the shed, away from the family ;)) Oh well!

JAW

[danusko1974]

Very nice playing, good job !!!! 5*

[HanzP]

Hi JAW,

long time no hear. Good to have you back on stage again. Nice arrangement and powerful playing. Five stars in space for this.

Greetings from Germany

Hansel

[jawmunji]

Thanks Hansel, yep, I've been away too long ;)

JAW

[SneakySolidSnake]

new guitar? the other one had that pick guard with the scratch in it. sounds good.

[jawmunji]

Had it a while now. Started off a nylon string player, I've gone full circle back to nylon.  (The one with the pick guard is a steel string. Scratch on it - yeah, I dropped a pair of pliers on it once. Bah!)

JAW

[CoolGuitarBreeze]

Very nice cover, really interesting combination of strumming and fingerpicking in this arrangement :)

[jawmunji]

Thanks - I think I get a bit heavy handed with the strum, it should just be a quiet rhythm to fill out the middle. Too many years playing steel string hard, I need to relax and get a bit more balance on the strum accents :)

JAW
