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. You can download a pdf of this lesson here.

Zenrock by Alex Brooke

Here’s a rocking blast from the past I recorded…I forget how long ago. I’m posting it here to remind myself to get back into the studio and record some more guitar.

For you audio engineering nerds this was done on a lap top using Logic Guitar Amp Pro, not a bad little set up.

Yoroshiku.
