“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.

Joe learned this lovely tune in the key of C from songwriter-mandolinist Chris Moore’s 2025 Changing Union album. Moore credits the tune to a Shaker elder from Hancock, Massachusetts, named Alonzo Hollister, and dates the piece to 1848. Joe teaches the tune and a chord progression, and then demonstrates how the piece sounds played on both octave and standard mandolins. In this video, Joe shows you the A part of the tune.
