Beginning Guitar – Murphy Henry
Young or old, if you’ve never picked up a guitar in your life this is the place to start. Ditto if you’ve tried to learn guitar from written music or tablature and have had an unpleasant (and non-productive) experience. We can help! We assume you know nothing about guitar playing, and therefore start at the very beginning. (A very good place to start!) We guide you one step at a time starting with simple, two-chords songs.
Murphy Henry, founder of the Murphy Method, will teach you four chords, G, C, D, and Em, and the basic bluegrass strum. Step-by-step, she will teach you to play 16 well-known songs using just these four chords. Along the way you will get some excellent ear training, which is the key to playing with other people. We also show you how to use a capo and discuss playing in different keys. Three chords and a capo and you’re ready to jam! No Tab.

The Murphy Method is a way of teaching bluegrass music BY EAR. We use no tablature in our teaching because we believe tablature is a crutch that interferes with learning to play bluegrass. We explain each song note by note, so that it is easy and quick to learn. As you learn these tunes, you are also developing your ear, so that learning actually gets easier as you go along!
We hope you will soon be joining the thousands of Murphy Method students all over the world who are learning to play bluegrass the Murphy Method way. One reason our Method is so successful is that we work with you slowly, one step at a time. First you will be learning the easy songs, which will provide a solid foundation. Then you will move onto harder songs, which won’t seem so hard because you will have already learned the basics.
Many of our students tell us that the Murphy Method is the fastest, easiest, most enjoyable way to learn that they have ever tried. And the facts speak for themselves: our students are learning to play!
