This month’s transcription comes from the timeless track “Take The Money And Run.” It boasts a fantastic groove with delectable ghost notes that enhance the overall sound. Recorded with Gary Mallaber playing drums, who not only sang but also co-wrote some of the music. Gary’s versatile drumming can be enjoyed in collaborations with artists like Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, and Eddie Money to name a few. Playing this piece is a joy, offering a fun experience while honing left-hand ghost notes— there’s more complexity than meets the eye. Marc Atkinson, a dedicated musician, honed his craft under the guidance of the renowned Gary Chaffee. Now calling Las Vegas home, Marc is on the brink of unveiling his labor of love—a comprehensive transcription book that promises to captivate music enthusiasts worldwide.
