More about this title

About the Composer: Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger emerged as one of rock's most distinctive frontmen and songwriters, bringing blues-rooted vocal authority and unrelenting stage presence to The Rolling Stones from their formation in 1962. Writing primarily in partnership with Keith Richards, Jagger crafted songs that ranged from faithful blues interpretations to expansive rock compositions, establishing himself as a lyricist who could distill attitude, desire, and social observation into memorable hooks and verses.

Why we love this

This collection captures the Stones' evolutionary arc across their most fertile creative period in a single, study-friendly format. The inclusion of instrumental riffs and guitar TAB for 29 pivotal songs gives guitarists the tools to learn these songs the way they were actually played, rather than guessing at the details.

What to expect

Swaggering, inventive, and restless. These songs pulse with blues DNA yet push constantly outward, from raw early covers to more layered arrangements, all grounded in the friction between Jagger's vocal presence and Richards' guitar authority.

Who it's for

Guitarists studying the roots of rock and the development of guitar-driven songwriting across a seminal decade. This book serves musicians preparing cover arrangements, guitar students learning from primary sources, and anyone building a working knowledge of classic rock repertoire through authentic lead sheets.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the notated riffs alongside the TAB section; these figures are often as iconic as the vocal melody and deserve equal attention in your arrangement or solo performance.
  • Use the lay-flat binding to prop the book open at eye level while playing, keeping both hands free for chord voicings and riff exploration.
  • Reference the full-color discography and vintage sheet music to hear the original recordings; knowing the era and context of each song informs how you interpret its groove and feel.
  • Work through songs chronologically to understand how the band's approach to blues covers evolved into their original rock compositions.

How to use it

Feature individual Stones songs in rock ensemble performances or guitar recitals, drawing both the arrangements and the cultural context from this single reference. The span of material also makes it invaluable for teaching rock history through primary repertoire.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading lead sheets with instrumental riffs and figures
  • Translating guitar TAB into chord-based improvisation
  • Understanding blues song forms (12-bar and variations) in a rock context
  • Developing groove awareness across multiple tempos and feels
