In this lesson, you’ll learn the reel “Anything for John Joe.” It’s what is often called a “half reel” or “single reel,” meaning there are only 16 measures in the whole tune. Marla starts by playing “Anything for John Joe” through a couple times and then takes it apart slowly, phrase by phrase.

Accompaniment in D Mixolydian, Part 2: “Hardiman the Fiddler” |
As another example of accompanying tunes in D Mixolydian, Marla shows you how she accompanies the slip jig “Hardiman the Fiddler,” which she has previously taught. It also mostly uses D, C, and Am chords, but Marla shows you how to substitute a Bm for the D chord at the beginning of the B part and use a G chord as a passing chord to the C.
