“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.

Medicine Bow, Part 1 |
The D major waltz “Medicine Bow” was written by mandolin legend Peter Ostroushko, who was Joe’s first teacher. It’s a beautiful, spare melody that Peter played on the fiddle, but it’s perfect for the octave mandolin. You’ll learn the basic melody and some ways to fill it out with double stops. Joe walks you through the melody of the A part in this video.
