  • Freddie, you're great ! :D

  • sexy guitar,nice playing anyway : )

  • nice cover a bit too much distoration but its pretty good :)

  • beautiful guitar it's a lot like mick ronson's and nice cover, maybe too much distortion, but still sounds really good!

  • It is rare and do not ever get rid of it. I have the 2 pick-up version but I've had mine since 1978. I want to have that guitar buried with me I think clothes might be optional but not that guitar. If you do get rid of it tell me and I'll gladly give you whatever you want. How's that sound. Take it easy, man.

  • I do like that guitar and the sound of it. What year is it? Were did you find the three pick-up configuration? They probably only put very few in production.

  • @MrReallyHard 1977 I bought it off a friend I work with.3 pick up version seems to be rare.

  • @FrettinFreddie Was the finish already stripped off when you bought it?

  • @PBANDSNOW It's a natural finish.Came from Gibson that way.

  • beautiful guitar

  • I'm sure Ronson played the D as a bar chord at the fifth fret and used his little finger to do the 'diddle - diddle -dee- daa' bit. It sounds a lot stronger if you play it that way, certainly.

  • capitol job, ol' chap!

  • Nice cover man!

  • Whaooo super my favourite of Bowie !! yes !

  • god man, either your recording equipment blows or ur mesa head sucks major ass and needs new tubes, but im not a fan of your tone right now at all.

  • That was very, VERY GOOD! Is there anywyay you can send me a tab for the way you play it? I would be ever so grateful!!!!

  • beautiful guitar

    what exactly is that

  • Nice playing, but tune that sjit... the tuning is worse than suffergette city....

  • You rule!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nice! you should cover Slow Burn next!

  • are you playing with any distortion or peddles?

  • nice until you got to that rather nasty ending Cheers

  • I agree....the ending was pretty bad

  • Are you Mick Ronson? (Yet I know he's resting now...)

    VERY VERY good job!!!!

  • Spot on chief. I knew the intro but that was it. Know the whole thing now from watching you. By the way i think the distortion sounds great

  • how come so many people use mesa heads with marshall cabs. i have a mesa boogie triple rectifier with a 4 x 12 mesa boogie slant cab

  • liked it, but can't tell how to play it lol

  • I almost cried, its that good!

  • sweet guitar and good cover...just advice...o.k. tone just not for this song... and just more feeling with your picking hand thats where your sound is really going to come from....especially with tubes my friend.

  • I liked it

  • too much gain

  • over distorded :S

    sounds like AC/Bowie :D

  • actually it's not overdistorted. it's just the wrong type of distortion. this doesn't quite sound like the nasty fuzz pedal Ronson used.

    AC/DC use far less distortion than you might imagine. it's mostly just a light Marshall crunch..

  • nice cover

  • bad distortion

  • Saw a cat from japan play one like that.

  • Rock out, dude

  • please dont watch comment and rate my version

    btw excellent tone from that gibson,,,,just how mick liked it,,,trebly as fuck

  • Nice one lad

  • really good dude sweet guitar

  • thank you!

  • enjoyed your performance.

  • to much distortion

  • that's great playing but some singing would help :)  still good though

  • how much was that guitar and where did u get it

  • wonderfull guitar, i've never see a LP like that...

  • nice guitar, man, great cover keep it up

  • beautiful guitar ... pretty good cover

  • Exellent cover of a fantastic song

  • Kick ass guitar man!

  • well played but learn to sing the bastard!

  • Great cover

  • sounds really good

  • Dang! I like that there 3 humbucker geetar

  • is that a hondo?

  • Gibson

  • good cover though(Y)

  • Little to fuzzy, know what I mean?

  • i agree

  • SWEET!!! Like it!

  • Thats a beautiful guitar

  • wow very good

  • Great job! I liked the distortion and you have an awesome guitar.

  • good cover

  • Great job! Distortion is fine. Mick Ronson had a similar sound when he played this live.

  • Yea great job, and nice guitar! But a little less distortion.

  • C'mon...Just a little bit close?

  • Sbags is an ass, sounds good to me

  • aah love the les paul customs, great cover, maybe put a little less distortion

  • It sounds more Bauhaus than Bowie (which is a good thing).

  • nice version !! i think you should use less distortion and when you do the chorus part i think it sounds better with no palm muting,when you are playing E chord you missed harmonics

  • Good job, You got some of the best equipment in history.

  • Thanks

  • awsome!

  • i think its good but its hard to tell with all the distortion.

  • bit TOO much gain, can't quite hear your playing. Maybe if you miked it it would come out a lot cleaner.

  • awesome!

  • sounds like one chord the whole thing. turn down distortion

  • love the guitar... it sounds a bit out of tune and mabie a lil too much distorshion

  • Nice Guitar. The "out of tune" actually makes the tune fizz, and give it a nice sound! I personally love it! Thanks. Thumbs up!

  • good stuff man

  • sadly a little out of tune, or then the amp is a little bad.

    decent performance, and a pretty nice guitar

  • fucking brilliant cover, fucking brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!
