Does anyone have any experience with the Murphy Method for mandolin. Is it good for beginners? does it teach fundamentals scales etc.

The Murphy Method only teaches tunes and emphasizes learning by ear.

I play the mandolin by Murphy's Law . . . 'Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong'.

Not so fast!

The beginning Murphy Method videos emphasize learning tunes, but the intermediate and advanced videos teach techniques, etc.

NFI on this one that I posted awhile back

Hi Nick - Maybe you should add Chris's teaching of 'Southern Flavour' on here - along with your info. on the 'Gibson' mandolin that CH is playing ??,
