From the fan mail department, here are a couple of threads on the Banjo Hangout where our students have been discussing their progress with our DVDs:

This is from a student who saw Red at the Florida Folk Festival:
I bought your beginning mandolin DVD from Red at his workshop last November but was so frustrated at that time that I didn’t really work with it. I pulled it out when I got home from the festival on Monday and learned more than in over a year of mandolin lessons from a local instructor. … I would have bought your intermediate mandolin DVD from Red last weekend but I thought I had it, so now I plan to buy it online on your website. Thanks for a super instructional method. ~ JKB
Someone sent this testimonial to us through our website:
To those of you who work so hard to produce these videos, THANK YOU. I had reached a brick wall using tab, when somone suggested I give you a try. What a joy! It is exactly what I needed, and I just ordered the next 2. You have made sure learning the banjo remains more fun than frustration. ~AB
We also received this through our website:
Just want to thank you for your slow jam banjo DVD. I just received it a few days ago, and it is the best DVD I have bought. It lets you play along and keeps you in time. I have bought every banjo DVD you sell, but this one is my favorite. Can’t wait for Improvising to come out on DVD and hope you make a slow jam vol. 2 someday…thanks again. ~JM
Here’s a review of our Slow Jam DVD from Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
And check this out, here you can actually rent Murphy Method DVDs online. To be clear, I had never heard of these people before a couple days ago, so we know nothing about them and can’t necessarily vouch for them, but it’s kinda cool that you CAN rent our DVDs.
