More about this title

About the Composer: Nanke Phelge

Nanke Phelge served as a founding member and primary songwriter for The Rolling Stones during their formative years, co-writing many of their earliest hits alongside Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. His contributions to the band's songwriting catalog shaped the sound of 1960s rock and established foundational techniques in blues-influenced composition that remain central to the genre. Though he stepped back from the band's later work, his influence on their melodic and harmonic approach remains evident throughout their discography.

Why we love this

Fifty-eight Rolling Stones classics in one volume means you have immediate access to everything from their earliest blues covers through their psychedelic and country-influenced masterpieces. The chord charts paired with melody and lyrics let pianists and singers work independently or together, making this collection invaluable for rehearsals, recitals, and arrangement study.

What to expect

These songs pulse with raw energy, swagger, and sophistication by turns. You'll move between the blues-soaked urgency of "Brown Sugar" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash," the baroque sensibility of "Lady Jane" and "Paint It, Black," and the soulful restraint of "Wild Horses," all within one volume.

Who it's for

Pianists and singers who perform covers, lead their own ensembles, or arrange for small groups will find an encyclopedic resource here. Music students studying songwriting structure, harmony, and the evolution of rock music can trace the Stones' stylistic development across nearly five decades of material.

How to get the most out of it

  • Anchor the left hand rhythmically. Many of these songs rely on steady, syncopated keyboard grooves; lock into the bass line indicated in the chart rather than playing purely from chord symbols.
  • Let the lyrics breathe on slower ballads like "Lady Jane" and "No Expectations." The melodic contour serves the phrasing of the words, so follow the vocal line closely.
  • Use the chord voicings as a starting point, not a ceiling. These charts document the essential harmony; feel free to voice chords for comfort and style once you know the song.
  • Mark your key and tempo at the top of each page. With 58 songs spanning decades, flagging transpositions and tempos saves rehearsal time and prevents mid-song surprises.

How to use it

Build a concert around a single era (early blues covers, mid-1960s singles, late-period album tracks) or curate a medley that showcases the band's range. For classroom study, assign different songs to students researching the Stones' influence on blues, country, and psychedelic rock.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord symbols and building voicings from charts
  • Balancing accompaniment with melody and lyric phrasing
  • Understanding blues, country, and rock harmonic conventions
  • Transposing songs to accommodate different vocal ranges
  • Recognizing rhythmic and melodic patterns across a songwriter's catalog
