More about this title

About the Composer: Paul McCoy

Paul McCoy serves as the lead vocalist and primary songwriter for 12 Stones, a rock band formed in 2000 that has built a devoted following through high-energy performances and spiritually grounded lyrics. His songwriting emphasizes direct, accessible messaging paired with driving rhythms and memorable melodies, making his work particularly resonant in contemporary Christian rock contexts.

Why we love this

This folio captures 12 Stones' signature intensity on the fretboard with accurate, playable arrangements that respect the studio recordings without overwhelming intermediate to advanced players. The inclusion of color photos and all 11 tracks from the album makes this a complete resource for guitarists who want to understand how the band constructs its sound across a full set of faith-based material.

What to expect

High-octane and earnest, with the kind of driving energy that translates faith and conviction through sustained tones, rhythmic precision, and occasional quiet moments that contrast with the louder passages. The guitar work sits between accessibility and technical demand, rewarding careful listening and disciplined practice.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced electric guitarists drawn to contemporary Christian rock and players seeking to understand modern worship-influenced songwriting through the lens of rock instrumentation. This folio appeals to students and performers building a contemporary sacred music repertoire alongside traditional or liturgical material.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the album recordings alongside the TAB to lock in the rhythmic feel and dynamics; McCoy's band builds energy through precision timing more than complexity.
  • Pay attention to the power chord voicings and palm-muting patterns that define the rock foundation; these techniques carry the spiritual intensity of the material.
  • Work the electric guitar tones with gain and effects settings that match the studio sound; the gear choices are part of what makes these songs speak.

How to use it

Program individual tracks during youth group performances, contemporary worship settings, or special concert events celebrating rock-based spirituality in your school or studio. The album-matching format invites students to learn an entire project rather than isolated songs, building deeper familiarity with a complete artistic statement.
