For Banjo Mandolin Fiddle and Guitar. Taught by Murphy Henry with Red Henry. For many people learning to hear chord changes is one of the hardest parts of learning to play bluegrass. No matter what instrument you are tryingto play. And even if you hear when a chord changes what chord does it change to And how do you know This brand-new DVD will help you learn to hear those chord changes. Even if you ve never heard a chord change before in yourlife.Murphy begins with simple well-known two-chord songs (like Skip to My Lou) and walks you through the process step-by-step. First she sings each song while playing the Guitar. Then going through the song slowly shedemonstrates what the song would sound like if you didn t change the chord. So you can hear that it sounds wrong. When she moves to the right chord (not a hard choice when you ve only got two chords) you immediately hear thatthe song sounds right. And that she says is the process: If it sounds wrong it is wrong . She then demonstrates each song with Banjo Mandolin and Fiddle. She does simple strums on Banjo and Mandolin and chop chords on the Fiddle. (Which she shows you.) Red Henry Murphy s husband helps out on Guitar and Mandolin. Eventually she moves to three-chord songs using the C chord. And later she introduces the A chord and the F chord. Shepoints out that each of these chords has a distinctive sound and she tries to help you hear that.
