“Inverness” comes from fiddler/mandolinist John Mailander, who recorded it on his album Walking Distance. It’s a beautiful, contemplative melody that alternates measures of 6/4 and 4/4. Joe walks you through the second part of “Inverness” in this video.

The solo that Tim O’Brien plays on his performance of the song “My Girl’s Waiting for Me (River Driving)” at the 2011 John Hartford Memorial Festival (and which he recorded on his album Chicken and Egg) is a great example of Tim’s approach to adapting melodies to the octave mandolin, and includes some of his trademark crosspicking.
