Who played guitar for David Bowie?!


Question: I was listening to a few of David Bowie's albums lately, namely Scary Monsters and Ziggy Stardust. I'd like to know the name(s) of the person/people who have played guitar in his band! Especially the guitarist for the song Teenage Wildlife. That has an amazing guitar solo!

Many people over the years have had the privilege of playing guitar with Bowie.
Although Bowie has strummed the guitar a bit himself, here are some others:
Mick Ronson (sadly, he died a few years back) played on the Ziggy album and some others.
Pete Townsend played "Because you're young" on the "Scary Monsters" album.
Reeves Gabrels played in the "Tin Machine" project.
Stevie ray Vaughn played in "Let's Dance."
Carlos Alomar has worked with Bowie on some albums including "Heathen."

I know I'm forgetting many musicians, but that's a good tip off the iceberg.

Personnel
David Bowie – vocals, guitars, saxophone
Mick Ronson - guitar, piano, backing vocals
Trevor Bolder - bass
Mick Woodmansey - drums

Bowie does indeed play the guitar :)

Many, many people. As far as the Ziggy album, that would be Mick Ronson. Most of Scary Monsters was Carlos Alomar, but I'm pretty sure that Teenage Wildlife was Robert Fripp (King Crimson).

Some other notable players with Bowie-
Earl Slick
Adrian Belew
GE Smith
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Peter Frampton (on Glass Spider tour anyway)
