A lesson for Advanced mandolin players on how to play the quirkily named 'Jenny's Chickens'. This is a 3-part Reel of debatable origin; could be Irish or Scottish. It's a great tune to play and we'll learn the core melody first, then discuss ornamentations, finishing the lesson with a jam through the tune with a metronome set at a blistering 100bpm.

Awesome video! I love this tune. I heard Kevin Burke say that it must be a Scottish tune because if it was an Irish tune it would be Moira's Chickens, lol. But I do notice that if you play the G natural, then the first two parts fit Highland Bagpipes.
