Blues Turnarounds

In this lesson, we'll dive into these essential riffs that add that final touch to any blues progression. Learning turnarounds is about more than just the licks—they help us understand how dominant chords work, explore triads, and unlock different areas of the fretboard. By the end, you'll not only have some great-sounding phrases but also a deeper understanding of how blues progressions come together, and you'll be able to play these ideas all over the neck.
