Bluegrass Bits and Pieces
Murphy Method releases DVD on improvising - “Slow Jam” Instructional video reviewed in Bluegrass Unlimited.
Video Clip from Murphy Method’s “Improvising: The First Stage” educational DVD.
The Murphy Method has released Improvising: The First Stage on DVD for banjo which is geared towards teaching how to take the licks you know and re-arranging them into new breaks for songs you may not know.
The Murphy Method’s “Slow Jam with Murphy and Casey,” which was released last year, is reviewed in the June issue of Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
“This DVD should work nicely for all instruments, though the banjo gets some extra mention here. A good share of the tunes are in G, with occasional capoing up to higher keys. Anyone wishing their local jams would just ratchet down to about half speed (and keep it there) should find this DVD very, very useful.” Bluegrass Unlimited
