Don't forget Nile Rodgers as well!
Carlos Alomar, Earl Slick, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Mick Ronson etc. Bowie knew how to pick guitarists.Don't forget Nile Rodgers as well!
If you get the chance there's a doco out there called "Five Years: the making of an icon". I'm sure it'll be on tv somewhere in the next week or so. Watch it.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
actually the doco airs tonight on ABC2, it's on at 9:15pm in Perth so check your local guides, may well be same time local time where you are

Might see if I can watch it as we get ABC HD on Digital TV over here in Darwin, got my big 42 inch LG Plasma Screen TV set up at the foot of my bed and it's Digital TV ready, no Set-Top Box needed, cheers for that Wokka and Pablo.
Awwwwww....just checked the TV guide in today's NT Newspaper, looks like we aren't getting that David Bowie program in Darwin after all.

Nice work Wokka. It is well worth the viewing. I'll be watching tonight it for the 4th or 5th time then.
Doc, you'll probably be able to watch it on Iview from tomorrow.

I'll keep a look out for it then as I do want to watch it.
I've been trying to find a better version of this picture with Bowie playing his one string Flying V. His quote at the time was that he couldn't really play guitar, so anything more than one string was too difficult. He was clearly underestimating himself as there seems to be lots of pictures of him playing guitar on stage.

It doesn't play on my Win 10 machine and there are mixed comments, those who can play it say it's brilliant and the other 50% are getting rubbish like me
Dave, it used to be on YouTube but I think it got pulled for copyright infringement. The only reason that one is still there is it is garbled. And I think it's stuffed for everyone, didn't work on Win7, WinXP or the android Youtube app for me.

I also tried the link DK posted and it's garbled.
Tune in 9:15pm ABC2 tonight instead !
