Space Oddity

"Space Oddity" is a song by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, first released on 11 July 1969. It tells the story of fictional astronaut Major Tom and was partly inspired by the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The track marks a notable shift toward psychedelic folk, making it an interesting study for electric guitarists exploring atmospheric, chord-driven arrangements with a cinematic feel.

  • The song was produced by Gus Dudgeon and recorded at Trident Studios in London.
  • Title and subject matter were partly inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  • It opened Bowie's second studio album and signaled a clear departure from the music hall style of his debut.

The definitive rock guitar. Its mahogany body, maple top and PAF-style humbuckers deliver warm, thick sustain with natural compression. From Slash to Jimmy Page, the Les Paul Standard is the backbone of hard rock tone.

The 'Black Beauty' - Gibson's premium Les Paul with bound neck, multi-ply binding and upgraded hardware. Its ebony fingerboard and heavier construction give it a darker, more refined tone compared to the Standard.

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.
