In thirty years of playing, Marshall has enjoyed an amazing opportunity to compose music for some incredible players. These pieces were created to fit the musical situation at hand: the players, the instrumentation, the music that they were interested in exploring. In most cases, these tunes where learned by ear and those who played them never saw charts like these. Multi-instrumentalist Matt Flinner took on the task of transcribing Mike's music into notation and tab. Intermediate. 47 pp.
