Marshall Wilborn with Murhpy Henry – Intermediate Bass

Intermediate Bass: Now that you’ve got the hang of the boom, boom, boom, what comes next? Bass runs! (Bass runs are notes that “walk” from one chord to another. Hence the term “walking bass.”) We demonstrate each run and show you how to put it in a song. We introduce waltz time (“Amazing Grace”) and show you how to use the runs there, too. We venture into the key of B and as a special treat, Marshall shows you how to play the “boogie woogie” on the bass. We also include a special section on simple theory. “Ready, Marshall?” Ready, Murphy!” No Tab.

Lonesome Road Blues, John Hardy, In The Pines, Amazing Grace, Bury Me Beneath The Willow, Somebody Touched Me, Boogie Woogie on the Bass, a little theory. (2 hours)

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
