“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.

In this lesson you’ll learn an octave mandolin solo by Joe’s mentor/teacher John McGann on the traditional gospel song “This Train” from a record by the Wayfaring Strangers. It’s just a 16-bar solo, but it has some tricky stretches and slurs that make it interesting not only conceptually and melodically but technically as well.
