	Actors - Looking for Satellites

"Looking for Satellites" is song by David Bowie, Reeves Gabrels and Mark Plati from the 1997 album Earthling
.

Bowie asked Reeves Gabrels to play a guitar solo for "Looking for Satellites", though Gabrels didn't think it should have one. Bowie insisted, instructing Gabrels to divide the solo into four parts: the first only using the deep E string, the second only using the A string, the third only using the D string, and the fourth only using the G string — and it had to be in constant 16th notes. Gabrels did so grudgingly, playing angrily, and the result was surprising. Says Gabrels: "By being put in that box, stylistically, you're defined by your limitations. The arbitrary limitation of that approach made me do stuff that I normally wouldn't have done. It's actually one of my favorite guitar solos that I've recorded."
