My guitar cover of this Rolling Stones' classics. Used equipment: Fender Stratocaster + DigiTech RP 80

Here is the tab I made:

The main riff (intro, verse, outro)

Rather heavy distortion, a fuzz effect was used for the original recording. Listen to the recording, when you play the second stroke on the second fret, sometimes you hold the note and let it ring, sometimes you mute it right after you played it (release the pressure of the finger). You always mute it that way after the first stroke at the second fret.

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

B -------------------------------------------------------------------

G -------------------------------------------------------------------

D -------------------------------------------------------------------

A -2--2----2--4--4/5----5--5--/4--4---------------------------

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

The last time you play the riff before the chorus, you add one stroke on the second fret:

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

B -------------------------------------------------------------------

G -------------------------------------------------------------------

D -------------------------------------------------------------------

A -2--2----2--4--4/5----5--5--/4--4--2-----------------------

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

The chorus licks

This part is played with lower volume and less distortion - I just turn the volume button on my guitar a bit down

E ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D ---------------------------------------------------------9--7--9----9--9--

A ----7--------------7--5--7----7--7-------7----------7--7--7----7--7--

E -9-----9\7--5----5--5--5----5--5----9-----9\--0----------------------

E --------------------------------------------------------------------

B --------------------------------------------------------------------

G --------------------------------------------------------------------

D ---------------------------------------------------------9--7--9--

A ----7--------------7--5--7----7--7-------7----------7--7--7--

E -9-----9\7--5----5--5--5----5--5----9-----9\--0-------------

E -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D --------------------------------------9--7--9------------------------------------

A ------------7--7h9p7-----7-------7--7--7---------------7--7h9p7-----7-

E -7--7--9----------------9-----0-----------------5--5--9----------------9-----

Then back to the main riff

Turn the volume button on your guitar up to full volume again. The first time you start with the third stroke on the second fret, you don't play the firs two:

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

B -------------------------------------------------------------------

G -------------------------------------------------------------------

D -------------------------------------------------------------------

A ---------2--4--4/5----5--5--/4--4----------------------------

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

...and back to the regular main riff

I hope it helps

the fuzzbox took off in 1965. I wouldn't cared if it had horns or not. but you cant put a saxophone or horn through a fuzzbox. but the riff is one of the best ive heard . I can put a saxophone through an amplifier on my keyboard

It's fun you said that. Keith actually used the Fuzz back then to similate the horns he heard in his head. But the management and producers released it with the fuzz guitar (things went in a frantic pace back then). A couple of weeks later he heard Otis Redding's cover with the horns and thought to himself: "That's what it was supposed to sound like!". Till to date he still thinks that's the best Stones cover around.

Well, I might re-record it one day with better equipment thet I have now, but I don't plan it right now. And that backing track is the only one I have. I don't know wheter there is the original track without the lead guitar, but maybe there is.

ive got a yamaha psr450 with 40 sound effects i found using a saxophone combined with amp is nearly identical. i dont like the rolling stones as other people do but satisfaction is a great song

You are right, the original went through fuzz. The only effect I had when I recorded it was a cheap DigiTech multieffect, that's what I used. This is as close as I could get to the original sound with that, but it is far far from perfect of course.

the original went through a fuzzbox to me it sounded like a saxophone through an amplifer
