“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.

The B part of “Old Smitty” has some weird timing at the end. Joe walks you through the B part of “Old Smitty” and helps you understand the timing at the end of the part. He also shows you the chords to the A and B parts as well as the C part, which has no melody; it’s just a section to improvise over.
