A series of Zoom workshops walking you through the material on the Murphy Method New Beginning Banjo videos. It's the next best thing to live lessons.

In each workshop we take one tune and work with it in all the ways I'd use in live lessons or in a camp workshop. You will need to already know the tune from the video lesson. I will not teach the tune itself! Then we will:

  • Play the tune lick-by-lick and phrase-by-phrase (looping)
  • Learn to count it off
  • Learn the vamping to it
  • Learn how to transition from the break into the vamping, and from the vamping back into the break
  • Talk about how to attach the ending
  • ...and possibly other things as they occur to me.
  • There will also be time for questions.

The live sessions are over. Here is the tune list. You can choose individual workshop from the dropdown menu below.
