Hey Peggy! You can probably use any of these in a turnaround position, but you’d have to modify slightly and some probably work better than others. For others reading, a “turnaround” is generally a lick you play to get from the end of one chorus into the next one. Perfect when playing with singers/instrumentalists, and they’re done singing — you drop a tasty little “turnaround” in at the end of their chorus to lead them nicely into the next chorus or verse.

Turnarounds are typically on the V chord, — so if we’re in the key of C, that means your turnarounds are going to be loosely centered around G7. There are two approaches:

1) Play any of these licks in the main key, but be sure that any natural 3rds (such as E natural when playing in the key of C) are flat. I do this in a couple of the videos when I’m on the V chord.

2) Just transpose the lick right into the key of the V — if we’re in the key of C, for a turnaround, literally play the lick in the key of G.

Hope this helps — it’s a little vague and general, I’m afraid…

hi jonathon!

i just learned about your site and i must say it’s really amazing and so nice of you to share without anything in return. you truly are blessed. the next thing imma do is i will check out all the links from the beginning because i really want to learn how to play blues. i am a singer but i dont wanna limit myself on singing that’s why i bought a simple keyboard so i could practice. ive been searching for instructionals online and i guess today is my lucky day! unfortunately youtube is blocked here in china (im not chinese) but ill find a way to see the links you posted. once again thank you very much and more power to you!
