More about this title

About the Artist: The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones emerged from London's blues revival scene in 1962 and became one of rock music's most enduring and influential bands. Their partnership between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards produced some of the most recognizable guitar riffs and song structures in popular music history, blending American blues traditions with British rock sensibility across five decades of recording and touring.

Their 1966 album Aftermath marked a watershed moment: the first Rolling Stones record written entirely by Jagger and Richards, establishing them as songwriters of consequence alongside their prowess as performers. The songs on this collection represent foundational rock guitar work that remains relevant to players of all levels seeking to understand how simple, powerful riffs and tuning innovations can anchor entire songs.

Why we love this

This DVD makes essential Rolling Stones guitar work accessible to players who might otherwise feel intimidated by the band's legendary status. The video lessons strip away the complexity and show that the most iconic riffs rely on smart tuning choices and deliberate repetition rather than technical virtuosity, building genuine confidence in developing guitarists.

What to expect

These are songs built on swagger and economy. The guitar lines sit somewhere between riff and rhythm, often locked into groove rather than shredding, which makes them deeply satisfying to play once they're in your hands. There's a sense of unlocking something bigger when an Open G riff finally clicks into place.

Who it's for

Beginning to intermediate guitarists who want to learn rock fundamentals through real, recognizable music rather than generic exercises. This collection works equally well for solo learners following the video lessons at their own pace and for instructors looking to motivate students with repertoire that carries genuine cultural weight.

How to get the most out of it

  • Spend time dialing in Open G and Open E tuning before you tackle the riffs; the unfamiliar tuning is half the battle, and once it sits right under your fingers, the muscle memory comes much faster.
  • Use the play-along MP3s to nail the timing and pocket feel of each song rather than rushing through the notation; Stones songs live and die by their groove.
  • Work through the PDF notation alongside the video to cross-reference how the TAB translates to what you're hearing on the recording.
  • Practice the riffs at half-speed using the TNT 2 Custom Mix software to isolate problem areas without losing the essential character of each song.

How to use it

Use this as a bridge between method-book exercises and real repertoire study; students stay motivated when they're learning songs they recognize and can play in a band or recital context. The 10-song collection also allows you to rotate songs across a semester, letting different students tackle different riffs and tunings based on their current level and interests.

Skills your students will build

  • Alternative tunings (Open G, Open E) and their fingering implications
  • Rhythm guitar technique and groove pocket awareness
  • Single-note riff construction and repetition for impact
  • Reading guitar TAB in conjunction with standard notation
  • Listening for and matching recorded tone and timing
