(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.
After a disappointing gig that ended with the police stopping the show, Keith Richards awoke in his room at the Jack Tar Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida, with an insistent three-note riff and the words "I can't get no satisfaction" rolling around in his head. Fortunately, Richards committed these thoughts to tape and they were fleshed out the following day with his bandmate, Mick Jagger. The song was recorded at RCA Studios in Hollywood, California, on May 12, 1965, with Keith playing his dream-inspired riff on an electric guitar through a Maestro FZ-1 fuzz pedal. It was Richards's intent to replace the guitar riff with a horn section, but, before that could happen, "Satisfaction" was released as a single and the song raced up the charts. In the succeeding four and a half decades, with its now immortal rift "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" has become an indictment on commercialism, a cross-generational anthem, a guaranteed show closer at any Stones concert and a bona fide cultural icon. Note: In the original recording, listen for the telltale click of the footswitch as the fuzz effect is engaged at 0:35 and 2:35.
Jumpin' Jack Flash. Like "Satisfaction," the origins of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" can be traced to the dreamy half-awake state of its creators. After a very late night at Keith Richards's country house, Mick Jagger was startled by the sound of Keith's gardener working outside the window. When Jagger asked about the noise, Richards replied, "Oh, that's jumpin' Jack Dyer." Recorded at Olympic Studio in London in the spring of 1968, the song features a unique guitar tone that Keith Richards has revealed to be a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic in open Etuning played into a small Philips cassette recorder. The guitar was very close to the recorder's onboard microphone and deliberately overloaded the input producing an overdriven sound. This effect was also used on "Street Fighting Man" from the same sessions. Note: As mentioned, the guitars on the original studio recording of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" are in open Etuning (as transcribed in this book), shown in Fig. 1, below. However, in December 1968, both Keith Richards and Brian Jones performed the song in standard tuning for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus concert film. At this show, the main riff of the song was played at the 2nd fret, as in Fig. 2. By July 1969, Keith Richards had begun performing the song in open G tuning with a capo on the 4th fret shown in Fig. 3. He continues to use this method to this day. Fig. 3 also shows the second guitar in standard tuning, playing the riff at the 7th fret.
