                                   SATISFACTION

                  written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

You can hear an mp3 demo here in my UG profile :

I got the fuzz sound with an old ZOOM GFX707 played twice by overdubbing


So to play it we use :
- an overdriven guitar
- a clean guitar that replaces the first during the choruses
- an acoustic rhythm guitar
- a bass
- drums

To begin with the simplest the rhythm acoustic guitar plays only three basic chords :
E :  022100
A :  577655
B :  799877

Each chord begins with two downstrokes then you alternate upward and downward
strokes until the next change of chord. That is for the rhythm guitar! So I did
not tab it.

The overdriven guitar ( lead guitar ): you must find a good sound for it. 
Then the point when playing those famous 3 notes ( B  C# and D) is to control 
the sustain : at times you produce two dry Bs , at others one dry B then a 
sustained one. Always control the sustain on the D.

The bass : it enters at the third note. Each time the lead guitar plays B B it
plays E E but not simultaneously. 

The clean guitar : I do not guarantee an extreme accuracy of the tab for that guitar
but it works. You shift between E and A while playing and leaving the rhythm guitar 
fill the gaps.


All guitars tuned in standard tuning.

Legend :
h : hammer-on
p : pull-off

   hey               That's what I       say




When I'm watching my t.v. 
And a man comes on and tells me 
How white my shirts could be 
But he   - can't be a man cos' he doesn't smoke 
The same cigarettes as me 
 I can't get no, 
 oh no no no. 
 
 

When I'm riding around the world 
And I'm doing this and I'm signing that 
And I'm trying to meet some girl 
Who tells me "Baby better come back maybe next week, 
Cos you see I'm on a losing streak" 
I can't get no, 
oh no no no.
