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.

The New Roundabout, Part 2: Key of D |
Now that you’ve learned “The New Roundabout” in the key of A, it’ll be easy to learn it in D. Marla walks you through the fingering of the melody in the key of D and then shows you how you can play it in the lower octave using the finger you used to play it in A. She also shows you how you could play it in G using the fingering you used for the higher octave D melody.
