Inverness
 

“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.

“Last Chance” is an old-time banjo tune that comes from old-time banjo player and fiddler Hobart Smith. Since it was originally a banjo tune, there are a lot of ways to interpret the melody of “Last Chance” on the mandolin or fiddle. Joe’s version comes from mandolinist Dominick Leslie. You’ll learn the first part of “Last Chance” in this video.
