Hello friends, this is the first of a long series of blues lessons I'll share with you next months. It's for Patrons only, remember to download the PDF.

A “turnaround” is a little musical idea that’s typically played on the last two bars of the blues (bars 11 and 12).

It makes the solo complete and take the listener back to the top of the song.

It can be also played like the intro or the ending of the piece.

I start this series of blues lessons with the turnarounds because playing these little musical phrases you will learn many tricks, guitar techniques and special chords, besides they are very funny to play.

In this first easy lesson you find a typical turnaround in E played in two variations.

Good playing!
