How to play (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play D, G, C, Dm, A, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a classic riff-based rocker that feels direct and punchy under your fingers. At about 120 BPM, it has a steady drive that makes it fun to lock into and easy to recognize as you play.

You can keep most of it in open shapes with E and A, which is friendly for a beginner. The main thing to watch is moving cleanly between E and A without breaking the pulse, since that change comes up right away in the opening progression.

Start by practicing E - A - E - A slowly until the switches feel automatic. Then play along with a steady count, keeping your strums even and relaxed, and only speed up once the chord changes stay smooth.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
