Chords for How to Play Jumpin' Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones - Advanced guitar lesson by Telamor

[G#m] Hi, my name is Tom Houck, and I'm going to show you how to play Jumpin' Jack [N] Flash. _
Remember the Rolling Stones have two guitar players,
Keith Richard and Ronnie Wood.
Ronnie Wood is a very talented player.
He's a great player, and he plays Jumpin' Jack Flash right along with Keith,
and he plays it, I think, in standard tuning without a capo.
So there are many, many ways to play most Rolling Stones songs,
but everybody wants to know the way that Keith plays it,
so now we'll talk about the way that Keith plays it and has played it since 1969.
_ [E] Your guitar is in standard tuning, _ _ _ and he may be in open G, but I think it's easier to do it in standard.
[B] You put your capo on your fourth fret, _ because we're in the key of B,
[Bm] and that gives you your basic B chord [E] triad.
I want you to [N] think in terms of _ [B] notes,
not in terms of frets or guitar tab.
[G#m] If you train your mind to think in terms of [G#] notes,
you'll have a lot more flexibility.
So if we skip the bottom two [B] strings,
and we skip the top string, the middle three, we have [F#] an F sharp, _ a [B] B, _ and an E flat.
_ _ That's our B chord triad. _ _
And the advantage of using a [G#] capo is that you can hit those three [N] notes
and let them ring without touching your guitar, and you see Keith do this all the [B] time. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The other part of jumping jack flash is not just the notes, it's the attitude.
You've got to have
the attitude, and you [G#m] have to create the space [Bm] between the notes, and you do that by [G#m] using the
[A#] palm of your [B] picking hand.
[A#] The first little figure of jumping jack flash [B] is this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] And you've got to
have that space between the notes, [A] that moment of dead silence, and you get that by damping [N] the
strings with your [B] picking hand. _ _
_ _ _ _ No hands up here. _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
Now the riff comes up, you [D#] go to a D [D] chord, _ _
_ which is three frets [B] up, if that's how you're [A#] thinking about it.
You've got an A [G#] note,
a D note, an F sharp.
_ That's your D chord triad.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
It's a minor third up from B, basically.
[B] _ _ _
And the little connecting notes are an E and an F sharp.
_ _ [D] _ _ [G#] _ _
[D] _ _ [Bm] And I encourage you to play both the notes, don't hammer [N] on,
because Keith is a very precise guy [F#] and he really hits those [E] notes.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[B] So you're not hitting the lower E and adding [A#] these top two strings, just the middle [E] three,
_ _ [E] and your little connecting bar.
[D] _ _ _ _ Okay, [C#] so slowly, [B] _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [E] _
[F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] so you really lean into it, give it a lot [G#m] of bite.
_ _ A little [B] faster.
_ _ [D] _ [E] _ [D] _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ Okay, _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] and for the chorus, [A] the chorus is basically just [D] D, _ _ [A] A, _ _ _
[E] E, _ and [B] B. _
Very simple.
And you can play them [G#m] the way you play normal standard [D] tuning chords,
[E] _ _ [B] _ _
like that, or you can also do it using only the [Dm] three notes we've been using [D] before.
_ _ There's [A] D, _ _ there's A, _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ and there's B.
[D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ You can also play your A chord up [A] here.
_ _ _ [D#] So you can go, [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G#] there's [D] your chorus.
_ _ [A] Play it [E] the way you want.
[B] _ _ Ronnie throws in [G] little extra notes. _
_ [A] _ [Bm] Of [A] _ [B] _ course, [G#] you can get Taylor [Bm] to play this. _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
There's a lot of room to [N] play around there.
Now the middle eight, the break, is also very simple.
_ [B] _ _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
[D] _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _
[C#] _ _ [B] _ _ You've got your B, _
[E] E, [D] D, _ [C#] C sharp.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[F#m] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ [F#] Always have the attitude, make sure you leave those spaces
between [B] the notes.
_ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ [C#] _
_ [B] Here _ we go.
_ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
[A] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Let's _ _ _ [D] _
[E] _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A#] [E] go over that little bit in between there.
_ _ _ _ You have to add the fourth of the scale,
_ _ _ _ _ which is right there, and so [A#] you play your [B] B chord. _ _ _ _
_ _ I'll play it again. _ _
[E] So _ _ [B] _ _ here's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] the chorus.
_ _ [A] _ _ [G#m] _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ That's _ _ _ _ _ the chorus.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[C#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ [C#] _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ [D] _ [C#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
