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

This is a great beginner song because the groove is immediate and the harmony is simple, so you can focus on keeping the rhythm steady. It feels punchy and familiar right away, and the repeating pattern makes it easy to lock in.

Most of the chart uses open shapes, so your fretting hand can stay relaxed. The main thing to watch is the quick back-and-forth between E and A, since that change drives the song and needs to stay clean at tempo. If any of the harder barre shapes appear later, give them extra time before trying to speed up.

Start by looping E - A - E - A very slowly until the switch feels automatic. Then count along at a comfortable pulse, add the rest of the chart one change at a time, and only raise the tempo when your chords sound clear.

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.
