Introduction to Reels
 

In this lesson, you’ll learn the reel “Anything for John Joe.” It’s what is often called a “half reel” or “single reel,” meaning there are only 16 measures in the whole tune. Marla starts by playing “Anything for John Joe” through a couple times and then takes it apart slowly, phrase by phrase.

D Mixolydian/G Major Reel: “The New Mown Meadow”
 
Now that you’re thoroughly familiar with the G major scale, you’ll learn a reel that bridges the gap between D Mixolydian and G major in this video: “The New Mown Meadow.” The first part of “The New Mown Meadow” has a D Mixolydian sound, while the second part has a G major sound, even though they use the same notes. Marla plays the tune through and then starts breaking it down, phrase by phrase, beginning with the A part. Marla also gives you advice on some tricky fingering in the tune, including a “lean” where you lean your finger to play notes at the same fret on adjacent strings.
