ITT we appreciate Mick Ronson's lead guitar work on David Bowie's 'Starman'

It's a great acoustic jam song, but when Mick Ronson's lead guitar comes in with that chunky T. Rexy riff during the chorus, it's pure bliss, baby. And the outro

Mick Ronson The string arrangement and outro sing-along are brilliant too.

I read somewhere that Bowie sang those guitar melodies to Ronson, la la la style, then told him to play it.

That's one of my favorite Bowie songs.

Mick Ronson is an unspoken guitar god, it's good to see he gets some love.
