That solo from Moonage Daydream was really the first time I "heard" electric guitar... and it changed my life. It was so simple, powerful, confident and musical I didn't even know what to do.
The genius of this solo lies precisely in its simplicity. Almost anyone can learn to play it, but it takes a lot of work to get it right. Many people start speeding and adding licks, and the solo quickly becomes similar like almost all other rock solos. This isn't just a solo from a rock song.
Mick Ronson does not get the credit he deserves as a guitarist. It may not have been the most technically blinding solo, but he managed to make his guitar sound like the future. That’s the only way I can describe that solo.
Just found this. Ronno was, and always will be my hero. He had an inner beauty that also came across in his guitar playing. Bowie unlocked his true talent by a projection of sorts, and I'm quite sure he loved Mick in some way. Approx. two years of the most mind shattering glamrock and roll we will ever see. It's obvious that Bowie was singing about Ronno- and the Spiders, I wonder if he was a little in awe of what they had created? But back to this video, I hadn't heard of Michael Casswell. To say he nailed this is a bit cheap, he did much more than that, he made it live again. To read he has subsequently died himself is a real tragedy.. R.I.P. Michael, Mick and David.
Great Cover of the Legendary Guitarist Mick Ronson’s Amazing Solo In Moonage Daydream. Ronno also played Piano & Strings in the Song. This Cover is Absolutely Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun is otherworldly. It transcends guitar playing. The ending with the bombs 💣 exploding and jets flying over and then the bombs exploding and people screaming the cries of war…what guitarist has ever even came close to being able to replicate Hendrix’s control of feedback and dive bombs from Machine Gun or the Star Spangled Banner? No one has even come close. I’ve heard SRV try it, Steve Vai…Van Halen’s dive bombs were 2nd best but he also had a Floyd Rose and better equipment. Don’t get me wrong, this is one of the greats but Jimi on Machine Gun is untouchable imho. He was more than a musician and guitar player. He was a force of nature that channeled the sounds nature. Wind, British Ambulances, bombs, screams, his wah playing is also untouchable. But Ronno was one of the best for sure and this is one of the best but I wouldn’t put anyone above Jimi. EVH’s solo on Live Without a Net and Jimmy Page’s solo from Dazed and Confused from The Song Remains the Same with the violin bow. But Ronno was for sure the man and kicked ass and I especially love his MKI Tone Bender, cocked wah and Les Paul tone. Easily one of the best. Something about that MKI Tone Bender, it just sustains forever.
Absolute Perfection! And this is my favorite Bowie song! I remember going nuts as a teenager when I listen to it over and over! I really like that you show how you play with your right hand, people nowdays seems to think its only about the freatboard playing.
Mr. Casswell was a great guitarist and artist and did a great cover of this Bowie classic. Mick Ronson would’ve been proud of this one. He died way too young.
here's lyrics in case you wanna sing along idk I'm an alligator I'm a mama-papa comin' for you I'm the space invader I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you Keep your mouth shut You're squawking like a pink monkey bird And I'm bustin' up my brains for the words Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!

OMG, incredible! Did you do the backing track as well? If not, where did you get it? This song has a very personal connection for me. I've got a cover version in progress, but just about to start the MIDI programming. Now it seems pointless. Can I use some of this, if I always credit you? The guitar is just flawless and precise as all hell!
Astonishing brother. Other people have used effects as instruments, but this blew my early teenage mind. Would you please let us know which effects pedals Mick Ronson was using back in the day to produce such a mind blowing sound, or was it augmented in the studio? Thanks so much for your amazing work. God bless.
sweet! i hope my neighbors like it as much as i do cause these bose speakers ARE LOUD!!! one complaint (and its minor) is at 4:04 i need micks "knocks".......

Have you recovered ?

He’s basically using his virtuosity to the best of his ability as a composer and arranger.

No-one does a cover like Michael what a loss, life is so cruel
Great Cover of the Legendary Guitarist Mick Ronson’s Amazing Solo In Moonage Daydream. Ronno also played Piano & Strings in the Song. This Cover is Absolutely Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Perhaps, But not this version ! 😂

God bless Mick and Michael.

I found the karaoke mix, so if you don't want me using yours, it's cool. But yours sounds better.
Ben Culture it's from lick library.com, there you can get the backing tracks
+Santiago R so how do you get an account?...i cant access the thing-
+TheEDZEPPELINBAND www.licklibrary.com/ - that's the correct link
amazing man
increíble,muchas gracias amigo muy original :D
I don't think you can be a guitarist cause you already are and your a true one
Guardians of the Galaxy brought me here!
Less is more. On balance the greatest guitar solo of them all...
Astonishing brother. Other people have used effects as instruments, but this blew my early teenage mind. Would you please let us know which effects pedals Mick Ronson was using back in the day to produce such a mind blowing sound, or was it augmented in the studio? Thanks so much for your amazing work.

Wah wah pedal to give the honky tone, a load of delay and your amp on full blast is pretty much it

Any chance for the solo at the end to be put into tab?
Dayum
