Space Oddity, David Bowie, 12 String
This is a remake. Always a work in progress. Thought it sounded good on the 12 string. Overall I was happy with performance. I’m getting better at it. I got nervous in a few places and screwed up – typical when the red light goes on when taping. Let me know your thoughts. 🙂

This makes me want to invest in a 12 string. Keep working and it will pay off.

@cwglazemusic I absolutely love playing the 12 string. I can actually play the song better than ai did in the video, but for not having played the song in a while and jumping right onto the,12 string I was happy with it, even with all the flaws. The guitar is so fun to play and sounds so great with certain songs. I think it’s totally worth the investment. I didn’t spend a lot on mine. I’m a fan of Orangewood guitars. They are well made, great set ups and easy to play, great customer service, and the prices are extremely reasonable.

You’ve got a real feel for strumming – nice and steady. Interesting song choice too – I’ve never it heard before! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much @Camilla ! I spent a lot of time working on strumming. It is not an easy skill, as one would actually think it should be. I also learned early to use a metronome to help with timing.
The song was a favorite of mine from when ai was a kid (Yes, I was a disturbed child – lol). The artist, David Bowie, had a rather large repertoire of music ranging from rock, pop, disco, grunge, folk, etc. He’s was very influential in music of all genres, and was extremely talented. Unfortunately we lost him at a very young age of 69.

Wow, your dedicated strumming work has really paid off, Loraine! Congrats!
I’ve been aware of the iconic David Bowie but I agree, that song is as “out there” is as intends to be! I celebrate that child in you who is unique and creative!
Keep it coming!
