Before we begin...

Before we get started this week, I wanted to send out an appeal to teach us a tune. If you've got a favorite tune, or you know a good teacher or good amateur player in any melody instrument, I encourage you to submit a tune! It's really easy to do, and then you'll be famous. Or famouser. And you'll have the satisfaction of having given back to the community, which is always a great feeling. Trust me.

​And now:  ​
Name: The Reel of Rio
Type: Reel (surprise!)
Key: G Major 
Level: Intermediate
Music: thesession.org/tunes/575
Tabs: click here
Elise Kress is back this week to teach us The Reel of Rio. "I don't have anything brilliant to say about it," says Elise. "It's just a great reel to play." That's good enough for us, Elise! 

Let's give it a listen. I found this recording of Dylan Foley and John Whelan rocking (reeling?) out the tune here. This is what music is all about: the pure joy of playing and sharing. It doesn't get much more fun than this.
