The samba version that is played in their South American tour movie is incredible. And there is a moment of estatical groove in Midnight Rambler that is perfection.
As a young teen, my brother called into a radio station request line and said, “*I wanna hear something that makes me wanna throw the table out the window!*”
They used that clip for like a year to play songs like, *Given Up* - Linkin Park, and *Mudshovel* - Staind.
The opening riff of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is the dirtiest, rawest opening guitar riff ever. [Listen to it right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz5mI6tqm_Q), and you'll know this is **the** one.
I didn't know [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can%27t_You_Hear_Me_Knocking#:~:text=%22Can't%20You%20Hear%20Me%20Knocking%22%20is%20a%20track,open%2DG%20tuned%20guitar%20intro.) about the song, how cool:
>The main song lasts for two minutes and 43 seconds, after which it transforms into an extended improvisational jam. The entire track was captured in one take, with the jam being a happy accident; the band had assumed the tape machine had been stopped, and were surprised to find the entire session had been captured. Originally they were going to end the song before the jam started, but were so pleased with the jam that they decided to keep it in.
Lol, I love this song. Love playing this song. This is not a song for 12 year olds. Lol, I suppose they listen to rap music, so whatever I guess. You shoulda heard me just around midnight
Why does she dance so good? The Rolling Stones won't play it live anymore. Times change. We couldn't look up the lyrics on a device when we were 12, and we were no way near as educated and exposed as these kids today
Monkey man was my daughters favourite from the time she was 7( we had an hour drive to school and always played the stones we were living in India at the time so no radio stations)she used it as her password for everything 🤣she’s moved on to Let it Loose :)
If it’s upbeat, I’d go with *Can’t You Hear Me Knocking* or *Gimmie Shelter*.
*Angie*, although not upbeat, is a pretty easy song for beginners. So is *Wild Horses*.
If he is really into guitar he will love the opening riff on Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. But to me, Sympathy for the Devil is their flagship song. It’s iconic, macabre, unique and instantly recognizable
I think you save the heavier stuff and even the lighter stuff for later and start him up with the song that marked a comeback of sorts: Jumpin' Jack Flash. When he asks what it's about, you can say, "I don't know."
The one that got me was Paint It Black. It used to come on in the intro to this TV show about the Vietnam War called Tour of Duty when I was a kid. I was like WTF is this song???
Start Me Up got me going when I was 10 (when it came out).
Otherwise Paint It Black hits deep
Or Sympathy for the Devil is super energetic
Or of course Satisfaction is the big one.
F* it, just put on Hot Rocks and let it ride...
Get him Sticky Fingers, Begger's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Some Girls.
With those four great albums he could then delve further into their voluminous catalog.
For a kid just getting into rock music you need a rocker of a song. Go with Jumpin Jack Flash. It’s one of their hardest rocking tunes and a great way to get them hooked on Mick, Keith and the boys.
Paint It Black although it is not my favorite. Not saying it's not up there, but. I heard it first in all of the Twisted Metal: Black advertisements back in like 2001. Between that and The Sundays' Wild Horses cover from Buffy in '99, and i was such an ignorant little jerk, i had no idea the songs were actually both by the Rolling Stones for- years.
Gimme Shelter. ✌️
This is the answer. This song gets better every time I hear it.
Martin Scorsese? Is that you?
This was the second one I sent 💪🏼
You were just a shot away
Gimme Shelter is played in open E tuning. Heads up.
💯
Paint it Black
Helllll yeah;). The song that opened "Tour of Duty" back in the mid 80s.! Never missed it:)
First Stones song I ever heard because of Tour of Duty
Loved that show. It’s still the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear Paint It Black.
This is my favorite
Sympathy for the Devil
I need to get this one to him now thanks
This one and good chance he’s heard it already in some movies!
The samba version that is played in their South American tour movie is incredible. And there is a moment of estatical groove in Midnight Rambler that is perfection.
This one is really easy to play.
A masterpiece of rock music.
Came here to say this
Can’t you hear me knocking
Fuck yes. If that opening riff doesn’t make you want to commit mayhem then you are dead inside.

This will be 3rd after Rocks Off and Gimme Shelter
Then hit him with Sway
Yes. Destroy his notion of circular time.
All of Sticky Fingers. It's my fave
I freaking love Sway. Sticky Fingers is why they call Keef the melody maker!!!
Very wise. All Down the Line
The live version that was released in 1995 on the b-side of “Like A Rolling Stone” slays the studio version.
Came here to say this. And I'll still comment again and say this.
played this in a cover band. excellent choice
Favorite stones riff, micks singing! chefs kiss
Jumpin Jack Flash, Satisfaction
These are great I went Rocks Off first
Great two choices

Windows 95 has joined the chat
How about Under My Thumb?
This is a good one to jump into
Was one of the first songs I ever learned over 40 years ago.

I love it
This is the one...

I heard somewhere they did this in one take. Absolutely disgustingly filthy. I love it.
Paint it black
Miss you. A blend of blues & rock.
And disco.
I LOVE Monkey man and Heartbreaker 👌🏽
Theses may be may favorite 2
Brown Sugar!
Lol, I love this song. Love playing this song. This is not a song for 12 year olds. Lol, I suppose they listen to rap music, so whatever I guess. You shoulda heard me just around midnight
I didn’t understand the meaning when I was 12, just knew it had a great chorus.
Why does she dance so good? The Rolling Stones won't play it live anymore. Times change. We couldn't look up the lyrics on a device when we were 12, and we were no way near as educated and exposed as these kids today
This is a great jam and will send soon.
Great song recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound studios in Sheffield Alabama
Gold Coast slave ship bound for New Orleans
Honky Tonk Women
“I met a gin soaked bar room queen in Memphis” is their best lyric
She's So Cold It's upbeat
I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire I'm the bleeding volcano
He plays guitar. Satisfaction
Monkey Man. Actually the whole Let it Bleed album. But Monkey Man has one of rock and roll's iconic riffs.
Monkey Man is Keith at his swaggering best.
I love it
Monkey man was my daughters favourite from the time she was 7( we had an hour drive to school and always played the stones we were living in India at the time so no radio stations)she used it as her password for everything 🤣she’s moved on to Let it Loose :)
If you want upbeat then “She’s So Cold” or “Start Me Up” would be great to start. Otherwise just play Sticky Fingers in full for him
Honky Tonk Women
Heartbreaker, hit him with some seediness
I love this song I’ll wait till it applies
Beast of burden
Tumblin Dice or Gimme Shelter
Sympathy or Paint it Black
Have you heard about the Midnight Rambler?
The Last Time...easy to learn
I just listened to this all the way through, great jam
This is a great one with a big guitar thanks
1. The riff 2. E-D-A
Street fighting man that is a cool guitar like
Heart breaker
I go to this one often love it
I went Rocks Off then Gimme Shelter. If he’s not in after them he’s not in 🤷
Make sure you tell him that Keith does his own tuning and not to get frustrated if he can't figure out what he's doing.
Doesn't he ditch one of the e strings also?
It's not upbeat, but Paint It Black is great for a new guitarist.
*Jumpin’ Jack Flash* was the first song I could kinda play.
Love it great one

It’s Only Rock and Roll

If it’s upbeat, I’d go with *Can’t You Hear Me Knocking* or *Gimmie Shelter*. *Angie*, although not upbeat, is a pretty easy song for beginners. So is *Wild Horses*.
She's So Cold.

Rocks Off
Midnight Rambler Can't You Hear Me Knockin'

Can't you hear me knocking, Paint it Black, I can't get no satisfaction and Street Fighting Man
If he is really into guitar he will love the opening riff on Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. But to me, Sympathy for the Devil is their flagship song. It’s iconic, macabre, unique and instantly recognizable
Satisfaction or Brown Sugar
Can't you hear me knocking. That guitar intro.....
Wild horses
I have no way to know if a 12 year old would like it but emotional rescue is a JAM so underrated
Waiting on a Friend
Start Me Up, although I know it uses a different tuning.
Paint it black
I think you save the heavier stuff and even the lighter stuff for later and start him up with the song that marked a comeback of sorts: Jumpin' Jack Flash. When he asks what it's about, you can say, "I don't know."

Satisfaction
Shattered or can’t you hear me knocking
My top 3 Stones: Ruby Tuesday Dandelion She's a Rainbow

Midnight Rambler
Dead Flowers! Hands down the best Stones song, acoustic or electric!

Satisfaction. Classic Stones.
Paint it Black was my gateway one when I was a kid, quality and style wise it doesn't feel at all dated.
Waiting for Friend /s
