More about this title

About the Composer: Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger's songwriting partnership with Keith Richards shaped rock music from the early 1960s onward. As the Rolling Stones' primary lyricist and frontman, Jagger crafted songs that combined blues structures with sharp social observation and lyrical sophistication, establishing a template for rock songwriting that influenced generations of musicians.

For guitar students, Jagger's catalog presents a masterclass in how vocal melody, rhythm, and instrumental texture work together. The songs transcribed here span the Stones' most innovative period, when their arrangements evolved from raw blues covers to intricate, layered rock compositions.

Why we love this

This collection captures guitar parts that defined rock music, with transcriptions precise enough to show you exactly how Keith Richards, Brian Jones, and Mick Taylor created their iconic riffs and solos. Fifty songs spanning nearly a decade of evolution means you're learning from a living blueprint of how to develop a signature playing style.

What to expect

Blues-rooted energy channeled through increasingly sophisticated arrangements. These transcriptions capture everything from the raw urgency of early Stones records to the orchestral ambition of their late-60s work, where sitar, strings, and piano share space with electric guitar.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced guitar players who want to learn directly from the masters of rock guitar. This is essential for anyone serious about understanding how to construct memorable riffs, layer parts, and develop the rhythmic precision that made the Stones' sound unmistakable.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the Keith Richards riffs section first to understand the vocabulary and phrasing that runs through the entire Stones catalog.
  • Pay attention to how the guitar parts interact with the vocal melody; many classic Stones riffs echo or complement the vocal line in subtle ways.
  • Use alternate tunings where indicated; several pieces require open tunings that fundamentally shape the tone and character of the parts.
  • Track the evolution of approach across the book's chronological span; later transcriptions show increased sophistication in arrangement and overdubbing technique.

How to use it

Program individual songs across the academic year as reference materials for students exploring rock history, harmony, and arrangement. Use the collection to anchor units on blues in rock, open tunings, and how to transcribe by ear from recordings.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing blues-based chord progressions and riff patterns
  • Interpreting alternate and open tunings from TAB notation
  • Understanding how vocal melodies relate to instrumental lines and rhythm parts
  • Recognizing stylistic variations in approach across an extended discography
  • Analyzing layered guitar textures and overdubbing arrangements
