6 Cool Guitar Blues Turn Arounds in the key of E

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!

Guitarator GUITAR PRINCIPLES | What Should I Practice? Guitar Development Stage 1 What Should I Practice? Guitar Development Stage 1 A recent letter asked this question: What specifically should I practice, chords, scales or songs? I am feeling overwhelmed with lessons, books, methods, skills, & principles of practice!

Of course, laying out the proper course is supposed to be the job of the teacher, but many of you don’t have teachers, and many teachers don’t DO their job anyway! First: I want all students to know how to practice correctly. Second: Third:
