There are a lot of great songs I’m ashamed to have ruined. This is a great song and I certainly have ruined it.
But the vibe of the song makes me feel as if it doesn’t mind being turned upside down.
This one was inspired for good or ill by @Decervelage on twitter. He shared a link to a classic live video of Bowie. The song is too cool not to mess with.
This is one of the very few times recently that I’ve used my Les Paul, but that is the only guitar used here.
I have been practicing more lately and using my strat almost exclusively. I use thick strings (power slinkys) on the Strat and it has jumbo frets so there is a physical element of playing it for long periods when I am first getting back into practicing. I found that I was able to dig into this song more with the Les Paul Custom (which was known as the fretless wonder, and normal size strings). It is a fun one to play.
