Blues Turnarounds for Electric Guitar
If you are looking for some tips and ideas on how to play the guitar then look no further. I’ll be posting new guitar lessons on this site with riffs, techniques, exercises and original compositions. This week, we’re going to look at some easy but great sounding blues riffs or turnarounds.
They are pretty easy to play so they should be good for beginners who are taking their first steps into soloing and playing the blues.
Check out the audio to help you hear how it sounds. Remember to practice slowly with a metronome. All of these are in the key of E.
I’d love to get your feedback on how you get on with these turnaround so please leave a comment.
