B Minor Reel: “Paddy’s Gone to France,” Part 1
The first part of the Irish reel “Paddy’s Gone to France” is in the key of B minor, the relative minor of D. It’s another 16-bar tune, or “single reel.” Marla explains how to use the D major scale to play in the key of B minor and talks about how it’s common for Irish tunes to mix the relative minor with its major counterpart. Then she starts by breaking the A part down for you slowly, phrase by phrase, showing you how to accentuate the B minor tonality.
