Learn how to play Take the Money and Run, as performed by The Steve Miller Band released in 1976 on the Fly Like an Eagle album. A super fun song that everyone knows, is a crowd and campfire sing along favorite. If you don't know this song on guitar you need to.

The lesson covers the chords and specific chord voicings that he plays on the record. The chords themselves are not too difficult, and this is a great song for beginners or otherwise "early in guitar career". I concentrate on the chord voicings that he uses on the record and break them down.
