I've said itt many times before.The Guy is a great teacher

[@denisechetty4019]

Very useful turnaround lesson, thank you🙏🎸.

[@MarkZabel]

Glad you liked it!

[@joemaxwell2119]

I didn't know it, but I needed that! Thanks Mark.

[@trioguitar]

Walk down on the D string, and a walk up on the B string. Perfect balance and symmetry to get to the respective E notes. Life doesn't get much better than that.

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

Pretty essential stuff! Thanks Mark!

[@MarkZabel]

You bet! Thanks for watching.

[@RocktCityTim]

Interesting that I've tossed many of these into my rhythm licks. Now I know WHY they work 😆🎸

[@MarkZabel]

Great!

[@Sid-Debian]

Heck that's amazing, thank you Mark Z for sharing it! ❤

[@MarkZabel]

My pleasure. Thanks for listening!

[@petegdula4749]

Thanks Mark!

[@MarkZabel]

My pleasure!

Mark, this was SO on topic for me! I've been creating my ok wn turnarounds, but doing it based on sound. Now that I know the "anatomy" of how they work, I can do much better. *** I never got this from anyone else! *** Thanks! 👌 👍 🤪

[@MarkZabel]

Fantastic! Glad it was helpful to you!

[@barnaclerusty]

Very helpful.. I knew the walk down but not the walk up. It took me years to figure out the “pedal note” does not move lol. Turn arounds sound easy enough, but getting the timing down can be tricky! Thanks!

[@MarkZabel]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@dewyberry3700]

Many thanks Mark. I always knew most rock was blues based but for a good 30 fears or so I was too interested in hard rock and metal to be interested in blues history. As I get older I am realizing just how much my favorite guitarist " borrowed" from the icons of blues. Clapton practically advertises his homage the blues greats, but I was surprised to find just how much Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons etc. really built their own versions of some of the older turn around, tweaked of course. Keep up the great work!

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks Dewy!

[@johndaugherty4127]

Excellent. Thanks, Mark. The blues greats have such good timing.

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks, and yes they do. That's probably the biggest hurdle for players - not knowing their scale patterns and such. It's the timing.

[@matthewoconnell114]

Really enjoyed how you broke these down and explained the theory of why they work. Always great lessons Mark!

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks Matthew!

[@Tomtoms-tomtoms]

Brilliant and very practical lesson. Thanks a million for this 🙏☘️☘️☘️

[@MarkZabel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gtrdoc911]

Love that last one! Another that I’ve seen that blows my socks off is using descending secondary dominants. So in E you use notes from C#7, F#7, B7, then E.

[@MarkZabel]

Oh, yes, that's good too, but you do kind of need to know the order of #'s (or the circle of 4ths).

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day mark also happy first week of summer ❤😊

[@MarkZabel]

Same to you

[@gergemall]

Thx Mark ❤

[@MarkZabel]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

[@mrmeowcomeshome1300]

Man you leaned out. Inspiring!

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks. I have too much of a heart attack risk, so it had to happen ... so far so good.

[@richardsrensen4219]

great lesson maby i can use this other places in the blues vamp?.

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks! Go for it!

[@dabiededoo]

i would like to play that first part.. but i only understand the B string 5th fret and A string or 2th fret or do you just do those 2 chords you showed A7 and E7 and then those 2 notes and that was it? and wow thanks i for the first time have an easier way to do E7 becauae of that coming with my third finger there like you do 3:45 i like how i find out in your videos how much more easy i can set my fretting fingers😂.. before i have to count each string and each fret and finger.. and after i can do it in one move i am only not sure of the first part and from 5:45 on

[@MarkZabel]

You're welcome. I don't really understand your question, but if you mean the "Clapton Turnaround", you just play any E (the root of the 5 chord) and then play an E an octave down. It doesn't matter where you play those notes on the fretboard.

[@dabiededoo]

​​ah i meant the 0:35 part and from 5:45 i am also lost.. but its because i dont get all those chords yet at all.. my english can be a bit off so i know it can sometimes be a bit weird choice of words the others i can follorlw very good and learned new way to remember that E7 now.. only the begin part you played and end i dont get.@@MarkZabel (ad this later, if you do at 5:45 what you explain in the end, then i get it..) the walk down and walk up and A7/G, D/F#, F7 and A5/E..

[@wedned]

Nice Tele ! Model?

[@MarkZabel]

It's a special run of the Fender Player Tele. Roasted maple neck and Nocaster Custom Shop pickups. I'm liking it so far, even though I'm not generally a "Fender man".

[@davidedwards7835]

Hey is that a little sister wrapped up behind you.

[@MarkZabel]

Yes it is! Love that guitar!
