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 Tarbolton Set is a classic set of reels that comes from a recording by the great Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman. It consists of “Tarbolton,” “The Longford Collector,” and “The Sailor’s Bonnet.” In this lesson you’ll learn the first tune, “Tarbolton,” which is in the key of E minor or E Dorian, although it occasionally uses a C♮ instead of C#. Marla walks you through the first part of “Tarbolton” in this video.
