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.

The second part of “Sam Brown Hill” starts on the IV chord (G) with the melody in sixths on the top two strings, and the timing of the ending is a little tricky. Joe walks you through it phrase by phrase, showing you some places you can add chord tones to fill out the melody.
