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.

Kitty’s Wedding, Part 1: Melody |
The hornpipe “Kitty’s Wedding is the companion tune to “The Home Ruler,” which you learned in the last lesson. They are similar tunes and it can be tricky to keep from getting the two mixed up, but they sound great played back to back. Marla walks you through the melody to the A and B parts in this video.
