Satisfaction Riff - An Analysis
How can something so simple be modal?
The riff from Satisfaction is actually modal. The chords are firmly in the key of E major, but that riff which starts on the 5th of the E chord, is in the mixolydian mode. What makes it mixolydian is the minor seventh - the D natural. That shouldn't surprise you though, because the Rolling Stones were very much influenced by the blues and part of the British blues explosion of the 1960s! Much of blues is mixolydian. The whole key to blues (in the traditional rhythm and blues idiom) is the clash between major chords and minor melodies and that riff is so reminiscent of Howlin' Wolf! (If you haven't listened to Howlin' Wolf singing Smokestack Lightnin'
PLEASE do!)
For those musical anoraks (like me) here is a treatise on Modal and Tonal Counterpoint: From Josquin to Stravinsky
This book delivers a lesson on modes for guitarists too:

- Was not a fan until I saw them in Stratford in the late 70s - we stood in the front row, near enough to touch Jagger. I marvelled at his energy and talent. Brilliant!

- Do I love the Rolling Stones? You Betcha! A little story.....I was 18, and was so very suprised that my baby brother (age 9) got me an 8-track for my birthday of the Rolling Stones with this song on it! 'Course, that was 49 years ago.....but it still amazes me that he was so attuned to what I would like.

- I found this new lens in the Forum and am glad I stopped by. Time to get out the guitar and start jamming. I can handle the three chords and the attitude. ;-) Should be great fun. Thanks!

- They were playing in Zagreb (Croatia) some years ago, but I was too little to go to the concert. My mom did. Zagreb is only 20 mins away from my home, but in other country. They are great!
