BRILLIANT BLUES TURNAROUNDS
What exactly is a turnaround? As its name suggests, the turnaround is a musical tool that’s used to provide harmonic interest while ‘turning’ the music back around to the start of the next verse. Generally speaking, a turnaround will be two bars long and located at the end of the chord sequence; this applies to all common forms of the blues (and jazz standards too), whether you’re faced with an eight-bar, 12-bar, or 16-bar form. So in this issue, we show you how to take your technique to the next level with Phil Capone’s study of the turnaround and a look at how some of the world’s most influential blues guitarists tackle this part of the 12-bar.
