Hi, I'm Andy Crowley. Welcome to this series that I'm calling Play Guitar like the Rolling Stones in 10 Days. You guys know what to expect from these now. These are 10 to 15 minute daily lessons with on-screen chords, strumming patterns, and song play-alongs with a new song covered every day. The difference with this 10 day programme is we are starting with basic open chords, acoustic strumming, and simple electric guitar riffs. We will also cover songs. In open G tuning, and learn how to make open G tuning your own on both electric and acoustic guitar. We will then finish up with really examining the Stones' guitar weaving signature style, particularly what the Stones have done live over the years between Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, with no one guitar player having the sole lead part, taking a solo for really more than a few seconds, without that player then diverting back to the rhythm. and the other guitar player taking over the lead part in a flow state, free flowing fashion, which the Stones are absolutely known for, and I want to coach you through how you can do this yourself, especially if you wanna jam over the original recordings or live recordings along with the Stones. But we are gonna start off with the song that perhaps started it all. We're gonna start off on acoustic guitar, cover the electric guitar parts to the whole song. For satisfaction. Remember you'll find bonus clips and bonus lessons on the website version of this course at Andyguitar.co.uk. The link's on the top of the description. That's where you'll find the tab for this video and all videos in this course as well, along with simple chord sheets. Let's make a start on learning this classic song and see what we can learn from it to nail the Stones' signature guitar style. Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones can be played with the E major chord. A D major chord, what's technically known as a D slash A chord because the A is still ringing out. In the root And A major However you want to play in A major. We have optional 8 plus 4. And Aus 2 chords for you guys that like to add embellishments. And then we have a way to play the B major chord, so a B5 power chord is often used. Or sometimes. The B major chord. Rather than the power cord version. Now to keep this super beginner friendly, beginners may prefer to use the B7 cord. Because that keeps all of this. With open cords. Which just means chords with open strings, but if you do want to practise a power chord, we have the B. Or the B major. Or the B power chord like this. So recap, E. D over A A major, simple A embellishments. For those of you that are ready for them. B power chord. The major chord. B7 is the option for either of those as beginners. Anytime you hear me say a B and it only happens briefly. B7 is the beginner version of those chords. This song also has that signature satisfaction riff. Acoustic guitarist, don't let the electric guitarist have all the fun. Learn this one, it's a fantastic one to get down. Electric guitarist will cover it again with the fuzz pedal and everything like that, show you how to play it along to the full song in one second, but let's learn the riff first of all, we have 22245. 5544 as fret numbers, which is how it would be written in tab. We can play all of that with just your index finger. The rhythm And how long Each note rings out for is just as important as the notes that you're playing. But what the Stones tend to do is default to using their index and ring finger and doing a sliding technique where we go index. Index, ring, slide. And then 5544. With the picking hand, just keep that motion as small as possible. However small you're doing it, try and make the motion smaller, that's how you can play faster, smaller and without excessive tension, just enough tension to not drop your pick. If you drop the pick, you're not holding the pick too firmly, and that's actually a good thing, just keep the motion small. We can practise alternate picking here, which is where we just pick. Every pick we do, just do it alternately between using a down motion and an up motion, no matter what note you're playing, just keep it on that one string, string 5, and use a down up motion, starting with a down. It can be nice to anchor with your little finger here, which is actually a Mark Knopfler technique that Keith Richards also does sometimes. It's a bit of a blues finger style technique. And that riff continues throughout most of the songs, so you've got plenty of opportunity to play that. But let's now have a look at this strumming pattern, starting off with the strumming and chords that go over whenever you hear that riff. This is what's happening. The basic strumming pattern throughout this song is down, up, down, up, up, down, up. We can also just default to doing downs and ups all the time, just 8 down and up strumming, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, for example. Which is a great place to start, just down, up, down, up. And changing chord on the 1 and 2 and 3. Tip You actually change chord and lift off on the and on the strum before whatever chord you're changing to, and you make sure you arrive on beat one of the next chord of the chord you wanna play. Let me break that down. and And 4 and Which means you get a lot of this. Which is absolutely fine as long as you're coordinated to arrive on beat one or whatever beat that chord that you need to change to happens on. Don't change late, don't leave it too late, change early to give yourself time, but keep your right hand moving is how we nail any strumming song on guitar, and it's even what the pros do to give it a bit more of that signature sound. Give it a bit more of a vibe, give it a bit more movement. Don't worry if you can't nail it yet, we'll be going for a very similar thing in day two, which is a song that uses each of those three chords again to really drill this. Bit of a different pattern with that one, that will be The Last Time by The Rolling Stones, one of their first hit singles before Satisfaction changed the world, changed the world, absolutely. And the great thing is we get a bit more of a rest in the verses. The verses stay on the Echord a little bit longer. I can't get no A. Satisfaction. I can't get no. Satisfaction. Lots of embellishments, we can do that, but it's basically two bars of E, two bars of A. I'm actually following the uh Guitar Pro My Songbook uh tab for this one with strumming sheets and all of that kind of thing. It really is the best in my opinion. Guitar Pro's My Songbook is just fantastic. If you really wanna nail the details of this. I'll give you all the gist of it. But I highly recommend it. I will leave a link to it in the description below. When you're looking at some of the Open G tuning stuff we're gonna do in this and some of the lead parts, it, in my opinion, it will be needed even with the videos, just to have accurate tab. I'll link to some free ones as well for those of you that don't want to pay for it. I totally get it. I want this to be a free, accessible course. Let's get onto the pre-chorus now, which is an E major, but I tried. Options with that B chord, you've got the B power cord or a B7. And I try and then back to eat. And I And then we're back to that signature riff. As soon as that fuzz riff comes back in, you. and That's the bit that you're rocking and rolling with. The only thing you're listening out for is when that riff stops. Let's go through all of that again, but let's add the strumming in and add some really cool embellishments for you guys that wanna do more than just the basics and make the basic chords sound really professional and pro. Main strumming pattern I'll be sticking to is down, up, down, up, up, down, up. And occasionally I will also go down, up, down. Up, which does happen in the original as well, that's how it's played. Here we go, here's a demo first of all. In 1234. about So I'm using lots of variations there. I have done a more really beginner friendly tutorial of this, but I do wanna show you these er embellishments as well, link to the beginner one in the description below. But I wanna show you all of this cos it really brings it to life. So either download. Up, up, down, up, or just down up. Every time. On the E chord, what happens here is down, up, down, up. And then to to A briefly and we can do that quick change by doing an A chord with 23 and 4. Stays on the Echord, and then it goes A. Asus 4 to A, even briefly to an Asus 2. That's on the original recording. And if you really wanna get into this Rolling Stones guitar weaving style, which we're gonna look at later in this course, this is where it starts, not sticking to one strict strumming pattern all the time, but adding simple embellishments and always keeping things, there's a general rule where we always keep the right hand moving, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, but we need to look at how we can add these simple embellishments. If we're gonna be adding in what we'll look at a little later. All of that kind of thing, which does happen, that's how to play this satisfaction riff with all that added embellishments, which will be in the bonus video um available in this day one, which is on the website only. Andy guitar.co.uk. Links in the description below. Let's have a look. Look at putting all of that together now with a slow playthrough, a few embellishments shown, but here's the basics of it, and then we'll look at the electric guitar part with the fuzz pedal. Let's do it. So the riff starts the song in 1234. Let's do it twice more. Now let's do that strumming for that same riff. This goes under that riff in 12, single strums. First of all, dun dun da da. There we go, we're in the verse. And I try And we go back to that main ring. B verse again, can't. Embellishments That is the basics of this song, you'll find more help to play all of that on the website and at guitar.co.uk and indeed on day two where we're gonna be looking at more of this acoustic strumming. But let's switch this to the electric guitar now. If there was ever an advert for Y to learn electric guitar, that has to be one of the best ones. That is using a fuzz pedal. I'm using a Dan Electro Eisenhower fuzz pedal, cos it's the only fuzz pedal I happen to have. That gets me that tone. The original, a maestro FZ fuzz tone OG was used on the original recording by Keith Richards, which is kind of funny cos he never really uses pedals on anything else since, he's not at least known for, he just plugs the guitar straight into typically a Fender amplifier, which would give you more of this tone. Which is my tone without the fuzz pedal on it, that has some reverb on it. You can hear the tail of the sound there, that's a room sound, here's the same sound without. And all of that is straight from the Bozz Catana on the clean tone setting. Just everything pretty much at vertical, everything at 12 o'clock. Here's that reverb again. And it really adds. Something especially with the fuzz pedal on. Which again we can use the index finger, slide with that third finger, but especially with. A buzz pedal on, which gives us sustain, it means I can keep this first finger down. And it just keeps going, bit like the Spinal Tap meme. Listen, how much is just listen for a minute. The sustained, listen to it. I'm not hearing anything. We need to mute with the right hand. And also relax this first finger to make sure no other strings ring out, so if I pick this one, this one rings out, all the other ones are muting. Really important to get that cos again it allows us to do the higher level. All of that kind of thing, we need to get the muting. Yeah. Join in with me in 1234. And it's really the fuzz pedal that makes this sound like the horn part that Keith Richards envisaged this to be. It's funny, if they'd have had money to be able to get a brass section, we might have never had this as a classic guitar riff, it might have been played on horns. But anyway, that is the end of. Day one of Play Like the Rolling Stones in 10 days. Hopefully you've got the idea of this now. Full play along jam track, visual jam track available on the website for free, along with a bonus lesson which I'm gonna film right now on the electric guitar, teaching you how to do all of these parts. All in the verses. All of that kind of section, which is really crucial if you want to really make the most of this course, and look at the OpenG sections. But when you're ready, you can get started with day two on YouTube for free, but remember there's bonus content on the website, and I hope to see you over there. Take care guys, thank you so much for watching. Bye bye for now.
