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.

The second “Concert Reel” in The Concert Reel Set is also known as “Callahan’s.” It's in the key of G and is quite a finger exercise, with a lot of G arpeggios and lines climbing up the E string. Marla walks you through both parts of the melody of “The Concert Reel” (#2) in this video.
