Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is turnaround lick number 2, played in the key of A. This lick work well as regular blues lick too, just skip the last 3 notes, and it sound good as a "normal" blues lick anywhere in blues. Part of the reason for this is that this one is played one note at time. Many other turnarounds have two or three-note arpeggios. The Turnaround #1 on this site is an example of a three-note arpeggio, for example.
One strong reason why a lick like this works well as a turnaround are those last three notes. These three notes kind of wrap up the whole lick in the V-chord. Licks that end like this, where it is obvious it is being finished of on the V-chord, will work great as turnaround licks.

Download Guitar Pro
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar. Many of my lessons come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will).
Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.

I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
