It's actually very intuitive...because it helps you to understand the relationship of lyrical melody and when the chord changes occur during the song. It keeps you in time. Great work Justin, as always!

I started learning guitar in 2020 and had this video saved since then. I would always come back and learn a little bit of this song at a time as it felt too overwhelming at the start. Today I finally put all the parts together and it felt great to play along with the original recording. Thanks Justin for another excellent tutorial.

I love playing and singing this song because it has that certain vibe, that special energy. Thank you very much for taking us by the hand with all your knowledge and bringing us closer to all these techniques and songs! I've wanted to say that for a long time, well - finally done 😃👍 THANK YOU Justin, ...and RIP dear David

I sang my heart out to Space Oddity when I was 10 years old and it was No. 1 in the UK 1975 ... the melancholic deep space loneliness of that first opening strummed Fmaj7 chord has stayed with me since ... now I'm 50 years old ... most songs get used up over x number of listens, but Space Oddity remains wondrous to me 40 years later ... RIP David Bowie

Wow! I have played this song since it was released and you made a huge change in the way I play it now!! I just love the way you ALWAYS go back to the artist's way of playing AND making it obvious that everythins is about choices. There is always another chord or way to render a song and by teaching us how you hear it and or see it, you are showing a remarkable sense of ethic for both viewers and artists. I just love your channel Sir and from the bottom of my heart and in all sincerity, thank you for all the work you put into this! I always send new guitartists to you, because I know that they are in good hands!!

Very well done, Justin. Learning these chords to this song has been a nice experience, because you're approachable and humble about various techniques. I have learned a lot of unusual chords, the song's unusual rhythms, and that cool bridge of sliding bar chords. Thank you. Also, RIP to you Sir, David Bowie.

Always a pleasure watching your pedagogic tutorials. Your dedication and respect/love for the songs are bloody compelling and inspirational . It's also really fascinating looking up your tutorials of (quite simple) songs I've learned long time ago, just to realise that I (as and exemple) really need to shape up on my old lazy strumming technique. Keep up the good work, Justin!
