“Inverness” comes from fiddler/mandolinist John Mailander, who recorded it on his album Walking Distance. It’s a beautiful, contemplative melody that alternates measures of 6/4 and 4/4. Joe walks you through the second part of “Inverness” in this video.

Forslund, Part 1 |
The beautiful Swedish polska “Forslund” comes from guitarist Roger Tallroth, of the Swedish band Väsen, who recorded it on the tenor guitar on Väsen’s 1993 album Essence and also with mandolinist Mike Marshall. It can be thought of as being in 9/8 (the way it’s notated here) or in 3/4 with each quarter note divided into triplets. Joe walks you through the A part of “Forslund” in this video.
