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.

Like many O’Carolan tunes, the second part is longer (in this case twice as long) than the first part. It includes a tricky signature section in which you alternate fretted B notes on the A string with a descending melody on the E string. Marla walks you through the B part of “O’Carolan’s Draught” in this video.
