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.

“King of the Fairies” is a set dance, a tune that is not of regular eight-measure parts. Usually the first part of a set dance is eight bars long, with the second part being longer, going off on a more circuitous melodic journey. “King of the Fairies,” which is in E minor, has an eight-bar A part that repeats and a 16-bar B part, which also repeats. You’ll learn the melody of the A part of “King of the Fairies” in this video.
