10 Jazz Blues Turnarounds

Hi Guys,
Welcome to my lesson No. 33

It’s time for some nice Jazzy Turnarounds.
A Turnaround mostly are the last two bars of a blues progression (i.e. Bar 11 and 12) but turn arounds can be found in other music styles as well. The turnaround leads most of the time to the beginning of the Song and sometimes its played as an ending. But you can use these them in many other situations as well. Instead of playing the typical Blues turnarounds like ] C7 F7| C7 G7 | I added some nice jazzy touch by playing some interesting chords like IMaj7, V7#5, Dim7 and much more...

Enjoy!
