More about this title

About the Composer: Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger emerged as one of rock music's most dynamic frontmen and songwriters, collaborating with Keith Richards to create some of the most enduring compositions in popular music history. His partnership with Richards produced a body of work that defined rock and roll for multiple generations, blending blues influences with innovative songwriting that pushed the boundaries of what rock music could express.

Why we love this

This collection captures the exact guitar voicings that made the Rolling Stones legendary, with transcriptions accurate enough to reveal how Keith Richards, Brian Jones, and Mick Taylor shaped rock guitar language itself. For guitarists serious about understanding rock history, having all 50 songs in one authoritative source with the Keith Richards riff section makes this an indispensable reference that beats hunting through scattered tabs online.

What to expect

Swaggering and blues-soaked, with riffs that swagger across the fretboard like you're walking through a smoke-filled club in 1960s London. The textures shift from raw, stripped-down blues grooves to lush, layered arrangements, capturing the band's evolution from early garage rock through their psychedelic and country-influenced periods.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to master the authentic versions of Rolling Stones classics rather than approximations. This is essential for anyone building a rock guitar repertoire, studying the history of guitar-driven rock, or preparing Stones material for performance or recording.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the riff section separately before tackling full arrangements; these isolated Keith Richards signatures are the foundation for understanding how he constructed his guitar voice across different songs.
  • Pay attention to tuning notations and alternate tunings throughout the book; many classic Stones tracks rely on specific tunings that changed the texture and playability of each riff.
  • Balance accuracy with your own touch; these transcriptions document what was recorded, but live Stones performances often featured variation and improvisation that you can build into your own interpretation.

How to use it

Use individual songs as performance pieces for guitar recitals, ensemble projects, or student showcases that celebrate rock history. You might also build a semester-long study around a single album represented in the collection, having students transcribe and perform selections that show the band's stylistic development.

Skills your students will build

  • Identifying and transcribing blues-based riffs and comping patterns
  • Reading and executing alternate tunings from notation
  • Analyzing guitar arrangements across multiple players and eras
  • Understanding rhythm guitar texture and how layers create fullness
  • Interpreting dynamics and tone within TAB notation
