It seems sometimes when they play that main riff, that Ronson will occasionally do a little B-C trill, quickly, right before hitting the open A & going back to the G and beginning of the riff. I also think he accents the open E string after doing the little hammer-on, pull-off riff with the D chord. I know the band Bauhaus did a righteous cover of this song, and they definitely do that bit w/ the C-B. It's similar to the riff b4 the D chord. Maybe it's only on the Bauhaus version, I'm not sure.
hi !! thanks for yours tutorials, they are great !!! could you make a tutorial for an another Bowie's Song : Rock N Roll suicide. Because I love this song but I can' t play it... Thanks from France !!! bye
Very well explained but since the intro and verse is in the key of G major, shouldn't it be an A minor instead of A major? Also the chorus changes to the key of A minor to accommodate the F major chord, so it'd be D minor after, that not D major?
@ExternalInputs I think that's what adds the extra tension and interest to this song mate. If you used 'am' and 'dm' it wouldn't be the song it is. I'm pretty sure the original uses the major chord too. Correct me if I'm wrong though as I'm not too sure.
Much thanks. What an amazingly easy song. Great explanation. I was watching your Ape Man cover and stumbled over to this lesson from there. I like your sound, and simple explanations. Keep up the great work!
