And Earl Slick, Carlos Alomar, Adrian Belew, Nile Rodgers, Peter Frampton and Reeves Gabriel. Bowie has an ear for special guitarists, whatever their core style may be.
Ironically though, my favorite Bowie album (though Station to Station with Slick and Alomar is very close) is still Diamond Dogs where he plays this apocalyptic, forlorn, stripped down and raw lead guitar all by himself - it defines the album and no technically more adept guitarist could have emulated that sound.
