BLUES GUITAR TURNAROUNDS you should know

Рет қаралды 28,028

Күн бұрын

There are so many blues guitar turnarounds and if you are playing the 12-bar form or any type of blues guitar, I think you should know at least a few common turnarounds (and one or two extra cool ones). This video guitar lesson explains how turnarounds are built from a series of chords, and the melody of the turnaround comes from a descending or ascending melodic line based on those chords. You will learn how to play easy to complex turnarounds and variations.

Just came across your channel yesterday. Your lessons are great! While of course,music theory is important to understand any instrument, but your approach of teaching the what to do,rather than the why at first is appreciated.

Keep 'em coming Blue. Having variations of turnaruns not only makes it more interesting for the listener, but also the player. Now I need to practice hybrid picking, without dropping the pick!

Greetings Master Blue: I am humbled by your guitar teaching and generosity to empower guitarists like me who want to learn more although i am 67 years old. I am going to pass this skill that i am learning from you to the youth in my community - Glencoe Town - South Africa. Thank you and God bless.

Great video lesson. I am an intermediate player and have been practicing many of these turnaround licks for an couple of years now, but you have given me some more to play with. I also like to use a turnaround as an intro. Maybe you could do a video on bar chord turnarounds as well. Nice guitar! I've been eyeing the Tribute Les Pauls especially because of their satin necks.

Great, thanks for watching. I do plan on doing another turnarounds video, for different keys.

In these videos I use a UA Dream 65, basically a fender deluxe reverb. That will be brighter than a blues junior. I find those a bit dark. Maybe try turning the treble up a bit. It depends on so many things

Just a word the turnaround is called a" syncopation"

@kevincopeland935 5 ай бұрын

there's 2 parts to a turnaround, beginning & ending, are you descending on the beginning @ ascending on the ending of the turnaround. I'm trying to find a way for a lead guitar turnaround instead of rhythm playing. thank you

@GuitarLessonsVancouver 5 ай бұрын

There are so many turnarounds that ascend or descend and vice versa. Most important thing is that it highlights the chords at that moment. In a blues that's usually I chord to V chord at that moment.
