More about this title

About the Composer: Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger emerged as one of rock music's most distinctive frontmen and songwriters, shaping popular music from the early 1960s onward. Working alongside Keith Richards, Jagger crafted the songs that defined The Rolling Stones' sound across their most influential decade, blending blues traditions with rock energy and eventually experimenting with studio innovation and psychedelia.

Why we love this

This lead sheet captures the raw harmonic and melodic DNA of rock's most enduring catalog. Guitar players gain access to the essential riffs and figures that make these songs instantly recognizable, presented in a format that works equally well for learning, arranging, or jamming with bandmates.

What to expect

"Lady Jane" carries the band's baroque-influenced psychedelic period, with its dulcimer-driven arrangement and intricate harmonic movement creating an unexpected delicacy within the Stones' catalog. The lead sheet grants access to this sophistication in a readable, playable format that honors both the song's arranged complexity and its underlying melodic strength.

Who it's for

Guitarists and musicians who want to learn and perform Rolling Stones material with professional-quality lead sheets. This collection serves jazz and rock ensemble players, music students, and anyone preparing Stones songs for live performance or study.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the included guitar TAB section for "Lady Jane" alongside the lead sheet to internalize both the riff phrasing and the harmonic framework that Keith Richards established on the original recording.
  • Pay attention to the fundamental instrumental figures notated on the lead sheet; they define the song's signature character and should anchor your comping choices.
  • Use the full-color discography and reproduced sheet music covers as reference for the era and sonic context in which this song was originally recorded, informing your interpretation of tempo and feel.

How to use it

Program this alongside other psychedelic-era rock standards in an ensemble concert or jazz ensemble setting where contemporary rock literature is studied alongside traditional repertoire. The lead sheet format makes it ideal for workshop ensembles, small group coaching, or individual preparation before a full ensemble tackles the arrangement.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading professional lead sheets with melody, chord changes, and notated instrumental figures
  • Translating guitar TAB notation into chord voicings and melodic playing
  • Understanding harmonic movement in mid-period rock songwriting
  • Adapting classic recordings for small ensemble or solo performance contexts
  • Recognizing how instrumental riffs define song identity and structure
