    Blues turnarounds are just plain fun to play and you should definitely have a few in your back pocket.
    In this lesson, we're going to zoom out a bit and take a look at 4 types of blues turnarounds that you can hear over and over again in the Blues.
    Cool thing is that the basic turnarounds in these categories can serve as a launching pad for your own unique ideas. In the video, we'll embellish a couple of the basic ideas to have some fun with things.
    Now, this doesn't mean that these are the ONLY types of turnarounds. If you stumble on one that doesn't fit in these 4 categories, leave a comment and let's collect a cool basket of turnarounds.
    Have fun!

    Great lesson. I particularly like the, clear and concise music theory background too. You’re a good teacher. Teaching the whole concept not just the “tabs.”

      It is a great lesson and promise if you stay at it, you will most certainly see it "all come together". I've been playing for 31 years and Stevie Ray's "Pride and Joy" for over 20 of it and once I learned the exact notes of the turn around, just played it repeatedly until it became something as easy and automatic as any tool you need "right off the shelf".

    Having that Vision of being a Teacher/Guitar especially is a BIG ROLE to take on! Much bigger and more important than most people think! You are the FIRST person I could actually sit with and watch and learn because you make it OBVIOUS that YOU REALLY want us to learn this in a NICE and EASY, COMFORTABLE and most of all, ACCESSIBLE way! You are a GREAT TEACHER! I have NO reason to say that other than it's TRUE! I REALLY wish I could get some individualized learning from you! I play by ear and I'm damn damn good, not to brag, but most people see that and hear that when someone plays by ear and they are blown away BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW ONE ACTUAL CHORD, YET I PLAY OVER 60 CHORDS PROBABLY! I MAY HAVE INVENTED THEM ALL, I don't even know! I did it out of NECCESSITY and DESIRE. Passion for LEARNING but having NO TEACHER that could help me really! Wow. You're GOOD! REALLY REALLY GOOD! This is your CALLING! Thanks for putting your life and your heart into this! It's REALLY VERY IMPORTANT! Don't Go AWAY!!!!

    • @BluesGuitarInstitute

    @flamencoprof 5 років тому +5

    I have an old LP of Mr. Johnson, but it took me decades to realise how good he was. Some familiar sounds in this very clear and well-done tutorial. I seem to do better watching fingers and listening than interpreting tabs or (shudder) all those little golf clubs. :-) Guess I'll have another go at it now.

    • @BluesGuitarInstitute

I think it sounds real nice. (Would that be a 5 1/2 chord to the 5 chord? Lol Thanks again! You’ve given me some much needed spark!
