We are going to learn 10 turnarounds for blues in E that cover a variety of approaches in for Chicago blues and more "country blues" styles similar to what you would hear in a Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters or Little Walter tune. I'm teaching the licks that I've heard in all of that classic Chicago and country blues recordings over the years with an emphasis on the styles of Jimmy Reed, The Muddy Waters Band, and the guitarists on the classic Little Walter recordings featuring the Myers brothers, Robert Lockwood Jr and Luther Tucker!
Many of these are suitable turnarounds for beginners, and the PDF has some great blues guitar lessons for beginners as well.

What is your favorite turnaround in E? Share it here and I'll try and do a lesson of my favorites in the near future!

thank you

This has really helped me to “turn around” my playing!

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

Heeeeyyyy-ooooo! :D

Well done. Some of the best out there. Thanks

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

Thank you!

Great lesson Mark, thx. My favourites are 3 & 10 but they all sound great!

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

Woody Leduc thanks Woody! I’m partial to those, too. I have another batch for a future video that will be fun and a little more complicated, too.

Good stuff here, Mark. I tend to avoid the descending 6ths because I struggle with making them sound fresh, but you've presented some interesting variations here.

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

stationminute thanks! I agree with you. The stock 6th’s can be pretty stale, but they are a good jumping off point for the lesson.

MERCI +++++

[@georgetebbens3524]

Those are cool. My personal favorite turnaround in E is as heard in Muddy Waters' Frisco Blues where he descends chromatically from the d on the fifth fret A string to the b on the second fret while pulling off from the g on the third fret high e string to the open e in between each descending chromatic "bass" note. Try it. It's awesome cool.

[@georgetebbens3524]

Triplet feel, of course.

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

Thanks! Is it from this recording? Thanks for turning me on to this....now I'm gonna steal it :p kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3XIgGt9h5aZe7s

@@JacksGuitarTrax That's it, although hearing for the first time in about 35 years it's a bit more complicated than I described.

[@georgetebbens3524]

@@JacksGuitarTrax So I guess I invented my version. 😁

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

I noticed that it was a little different but thought maybe I was working from a different version. These guys recorded the same songs so many times during their careers that there can be many versions of the same tune, both live and in the studio. That gets me in trouble sometimes when I'm learning a tune for a gig :) 😀

[@jtankersley7]

I tend to go with number 1 but I like to slide up from 1st fret to 4th at the beginning of it.

[@JacksGuitarTrax]

a good embellishment, and probably one that a lot of folks do!

Went down your rabbit hole. Gave up when asked for credit card info…

[@JesseLandau]

Excuse me, but your sheet music is in the key of A, not E.
