Flatpicking Lead Guitar – Murphy Henry
Flatpicking Lead Guitar. Okay. And what is flatpicking? you ask. Flatpicking is playing the melody of the song, note by note, using your guitar pick. It’s also called “playing lead guitar.” It’s what you would do if you were “trading breaks” with another instrumentalist. (Watch the video clip!)
If you are a rhythm guitar player, this how you can take a bigger part in playing instrumentals. Now, you can take a solo—just like the banjo or fiddle!
To get you going, we start out with a simple arrangement of the well-known “Old Joe Clark.” Each song is broken into phrases and each note and each pick stroke (up or down) is explained. We keep it simple as we move through several other tunes, all from the traditional bluegrass and flatpicking repertoire. These tunes are played in jam sessions everywhere! Go for it! 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
