David Bowie Space Oddity Song Facts
Inspired by Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Space Oddity was written and recorded by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. Space Oddity was first released as a single in 1969. Space Oddity would later appear as the opening track Bowie's second studio album simply titled David Bowie.
The album version of Space Oddity was recorded in June 1969. Bowie sang lead and harmony vocals and played acoustic guitar and the Stylophone. The session musicians were Rick Wakeman (later of Yes fame) on Mellotron, Mick Wayne on guitar, Herbie Flowers on bass, and Terry Cox on drums. The string section on the album version of Space Oddity was arranged by Paul Buckmaster.
Space Oddity has since become one of David Bowie's signature songs. Bowie plays a twelve-string acoustic guitar for Space Oddity, but six string acoustic will work fine as a substitute.
Paluzzi Guitar
The objective of the Paluzzi Guitar video series is to help establish a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (rhythm, fingerstyle, and soloing) to various styles of music. The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established.
The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more information on private lessons and books, go to:
There really isn’t any one particular playing style or technique required in order to classify someone as a guitarist. For example, Andres Segovia, The Beatles, and Carlos Santana are all considered legendary performing guitarists, but each has their own particular style or technique (fingerstyle, strumming, and soloing) for playing. Every guitarist will have their own personal preferences when it comes to what style of music they would initially like to learn. The Paluzzi Guitar series of books and videos are designed with a ‘pick and choose’ topic format (songwriting, soloing, etc.) so that once the Guitar Basics are completed, the guitarist can decide to focus on whatever topic they wish to study.
