More about this title

About the Composer: Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger emerged as one of rock music's most distinctive frontmen and songwriters, co-writing the majority of The Rolling Stones' catalog alongside Keith Richards. His lyrical voice ranged from early blues reinterpretations to socially charged commentary and psychedelic experimentation, establishing him as a pivotal figure in rock composition during the 1960s.

For musicians studying rock songwriting and performance, Jagger's work in this period demonstrates how to construct engaging vocal lines within blues and rock frameworks, balance melody with rhythmic sophistication, and develop an authentic artistic identity from traditional influences.

Why we love this

This lead sheet collection captures the essential guitar voice of one of rock's most influential bands during their most creatively restless period. Having the pivotal riffs and solos transcribed alongside complete lead sheets means guitarists can see exactly how melody, harmony, and signature guitar figures interlock on classics like "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash."

What to expect

Raw, propulsive, and inventive. The Stones' early catalog swings hard, shifts between blues tradition and contemporary experimentation, and makes room for guitar lines that drive songs forward rather than simply accompany them. Songs here pulse with swagger, wit, and serious musicianship beneath the surface attitude.

Who it's for

Guitarists tackling rock standards, whether for jam sessions, cover bands, or personal study. This book serves musicians who want to understand how early Rolling Stones songs were constructed and how guitar riffs support the harmonic and melodic framework.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the included guitar TAB section alongside the lead sheet to understand how the riff functions rhythmically and melodically within the song's structure.
  • Pay attention to the fundamental instrumental figures notated in the lead sheets; these often define the song's identity as much as the vocal melody does.
  • Use the discography and album art references to listen to the original recordings while working through a piece, noting arrangement choices and tone production.

How to use it

Program individual Stones songs in rock ensemble, jam band, or cover-focused ensembles where players need lead sheets with riff notation. The collection's range from early blues covers through psychedelic material makes it useful for courses exploring how one band's sonic evolution tracked broader rock genre development.
