this little section...before the last verse
Interlude, with brief electric solo and choir:
Dsus| C | F | Dsus| G7sus| then an instrumental chorus with last line sung
Verse 4: (back to standard pattern/rhythm)
I saw her today at the reception, in her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception,
I could tell by her bloodstained hands
Well, that's the trick, isn't it? Honky Tonk Women is only three chords but if you just pick G, C, and D, it will sound like crap. It's the timing, syncopation, and all the little fills. Shake Your Hips is not an easy guitar part for a beginner.
Back in the seventies when we formed a band the first song we played totally unrehearsed was 'I'm Free', and then 'Mongoloid', Devos song, and we thought we had some feeling...
You are correct, sir.
1st thing I ever learned on guitar!
"No Anchovies, Please"
That's E, A and B, not D.
... which is what makes it near-kin to "Rebel Rebel"
(and a hundred other classics).
......as I stated earlier it may not be 100% accurate.
actually, it's not Ronson--Bowie broke up the Spiders for Diamond Dogs. According to the album credits, Bowie himself plays all the guitars on the record. But according to other reports (which I think I've solicited and gotten answers to on this board), it was actually a session player named Alan Parker. On that cut, at least. What a sound!
yeah, it's hard to avoid overplaying the low E in the ending lick.
Thanks for the correction. A Bowie expert I'm not.
Talk about your favorite band.

They use sometimes simple chord structures. The trick is in the timing of the rhythm and therefore not easy to play well only competently.

how about the bridge (which the Stones left out live often)?

Shake Your Hips. For guitar anyway
Shake Your Hips is easy to play - badly. It is actually quite a tricky groove.
If syncopated notes are unknown to you, that is

ChrisMThere are 4 chords in the song: C, F, G and Bb. And as 71Tele alluded, it's not so much about how many chords a song has but about getting the groove and feel right. You can know all the chords in the book but if you can't play them with the feel the song calls for then it doesn't matter how many chords or scales for that matter one knows. It's this capability that separates causal strummers from truly great players in my view...Quote

It must be I'm Free, it's all about 2 chords...

Very good suggestion, in my opinion! It's a good starter to find out when to strum up and when to strum down the strings and where to strum on your guitar neck to create a certain sound that fits.Quote

some of you could probably play them fine but they would not sound quite right. i've never heard anyone really duplicate their sound.

most of stones songs are pretty easy to strum along with,
no complex chord sequences...
but it is the extra licks and sounds that may demand some work..

"As Tears Go By" is a pretty easy one to strum out using beginner chords.
G, A, C, D, & Em

I always thought Satisfaction was the easiest song to play.5th string 2nd,4th and 5th frets for the intro and E,A,D chords.This way may not be 100 % accurate but it is close.

Well actually the E,A,D chords can be played over the main riff. The D chord is somewhat transitional but it is there.

Yep, Ronson. It is a little tricky to play. Have to let that open D string ring, then slide the D chord up 2 frets and play that ending lick.
