Guitar Lesson Overview
This turnaround lick in E is inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan. I think he played this turnaround on one of his popular tunes, I just can't remember which one it was. It sounds cool played at a moderate tempo. I don't think it sounds so exciting at slower tempos. Have a look at the TAB or the GP5 files if the video isn't helpful enough. Oh, and I made a mistake when I said C7 and B7. Those chords I played are in fact inversions of C9 and B9... just in case the theory police is watching. I do know music theory quite well, regardless of what some youtube commenters might think! haha!
By the way, maybe I should have explained the shuffle rhythm parts over B and A more, but I figured most people would know this already. Maybe, maybe not, but it's in the TAB and GP5 files.
Hope you enjoy this lick - and if you do or don't, please let me know regardless! I appreciate all feedback.
Turnaround Blues Lick 4 in PDF & Guitar Pro 5
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.
Video Clips
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.
