100 Riffs | Chicago Music Exchange. Guitarator. 6 Cool Guitar Blues Turn Arounds in the key of E. Photo by Steve Garry A good blues turnaround is the icing on the cake of every blues progression. I always beg, borrow, steal and create my own nice sweet sounding turnarounds to add that extra magic when I’m playing a blues song. It’s one of the things that makes the blues sound so cool. Blues turnarounds are played at the end of a section of a blues progression which then leads to the next section or the end of the song. To get a good impression of how turnarounds are played listen to blues guitar players like B.B King, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton and study theirs. Tip: Every time you play the blues try to play a different turnaround, so you don’t end up playing the same turnaround ten years from now.
Enjoy these 6 turnarounds to spice up your blues: Have a great one! The 5 Pentatonic Scale Shapes You Must Know. Mark Knopfler's Guitars and Gear.

DADGAD Guitar Accompaniment: Lesson 8 (Reel) Armonía para todos: Análisis de un blues mayor (primera parte) Segunda entrega de la serie de artículos armonía para todos, que pretende acercar la armonía a guitarristas y músicos de diverso nivel, abarcando conceptos amplios, sencillos, complejos, lecciones de alto nivel, o de nivel intermedio. En esta ocasión, abordaremos el análisis de uno de los estilos clave para entender la música moderna; el blues.
Hay que tener en cuenta que es un análisis personal, realizado desde mis conocimientos y consultando diversas fuentes, por lo que muchos elementos de este enfoque no tienen por qué ser compartidos por el lector. Para ello, debemos entender que la armonía de blues, a priori, no es compleja, ya que se trata de un estilo basado, primordialmente, en las medidas expresivas. Bends, vibratos, slides, un control destacado de la dinámica y, por supuesto, juego con los silencios, son las principales herramientas de las cuales dispone un bluesman para llegar al corazón del oyente. Introducción, elementos de base y ritmo ¿Qué es un acorde dominante? A trip to Mark Knopfler’s sunburst Schecter Strat | Mark Knopfler Guitar / More Knowledge of the guitar. The good thing about running a website about Mark Knopfler and his guitar sound and style is that you get in touch with so many other people who share your interest. I guess everyone who is really interested in this topic sooner or later finds his way to this site.
So it happened that one day a customer who bought two of my iSounds in my online shop told me that he owns quite a lot of guitars, one of them being the Schecter S8001 – that sunburst Dream Machine Strat that probably everyone of us knows from his teens on, the guitar used in e.g. the Alchemy video on songs like Tunnel of Love or Telegraph Road. The guitar was auctioned at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads charity for more than 50,000 USD in 2004 (Note: The owner now – let’s call him O. for owner - is not the person who won the charity but got the guitar later from him).
As O. lives only a couple of hours by car from my place, the idea to visit him came up automatically. Mark Knopfler’s sunburst Schecter Strat (2012, click to enlarge) Misc | Mark Knopfler Guitar / More Knowledge of the guitar. I recently had three different 4 x 12″ cabinets here to play around with. They all were different, and they all had different speakers.

But first, the candidates are: Electro Voice EV 12 On the left you can see a birch cabinet made by House of Speakers, which we got on ebay for just 60 € (without speakers of course). It is equipped now with four Electro Voice EV 12L, the same that Mark Knopfler has in his two red Marshall cabinets. The Electro Voice EV 12L - it IS as heavy as it looks! Celestion Vintage 30 These are in a Fame cabinet. Celestion Vintage 30 - a favourite of many Celestion G12M “Greenback” These are the current version of the legendary 25 watts Celestion speaker, as used in most cabinets from the late 60ies or early 70ies.
