“I started the Murphy Method for one reason. I couldn’t stand to hear what the students were learning from tab. There was no music in what they were playing. One day I ‘talked’ a version of ‘Old Joe Clark’ onto a cassette for a student. She came back the next week and it was the best thing she’d ever played. I never used tab again.” - Murphy Henry

In this free lesson video, BHO member and YouTube teacher extraordinairre Jim Pankey delivers three backup licks that are useful when you're looking for lower tones on the neck while playing backup - perhaps when the guitar is taking a break.
He shares a lick that works over a G chord, one that works over a C, and one that works over a D. Because three chords and the truth is all we need!
