Blues Guitar Turnaround Lesson
Welcome to another episode of the Ask James Guitar Show where it's all about how to add a blues guitar turnaround lick onto the end of your blues solos. This isn't essential but it's a handy thing to be able to do, lending your blues solos an authentic and bluesy sound.
Here's a breakdown of the lesson:
0:25 One of my Members at http://jamesshipwayguitar.com has asked a cool question!
If you're playing a solo how can you add a turnaround lick onto the end?
Here I demonstrate the turnaround lick we're going to be using on the end of our solo.
It's in the key of G and I'm going to demonstrate it over a 12 bar blues in the key of G.
0:55 Here's the link to another lesson where I teach you how to play this turnaround lick in detail: https://jamesshipwayguitar.com/blues-intro-lick/
I'm using it as a blues intro leck in the video but it works great as a turnaround as well.
1:12 Here's how to play the G blues turnaround lick we're using in this lesson.
2:18 The lick begins on beat 2 of the 11th bar of the 12 bar blues. So you need to improvise up to that point before dropping seamlessly into the turnaround lick. I'm going to demonstrate how to do this over a 12 bar blues backing track.
3:21 Here I explain what I did in my improvisation. Also how to learn to 'feel' when it's time to begin the turnaround lick.
3:44 If we isolate the final 4 bars of the 12 bar blues and practice playing round and round over that section it focuses our attention on combining the lick in with our solo. Do this unaccompanied at first. Then take a 12 bar blues backing track and loop the final 4 bars around so you can play over it.
5:07 Another tip for tagging your turnaround lick onto the end of your blues solo.
5:46 The 'turnaround' isn't just a lick! It's actually the final 2 bars of the 12 bar blues chord sequence. You don't have to play a 'turnaround lick' there at all if you don't want. It's fine just to carry on your solo. Hear me demo that.
