Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out.

Guitar Lesson Overview

Here is another blues turnaround lick, this one played in the key of E. This lick uses the open E string as you play the descending triplets. Sounds nice this way. Now, next thing you should try, is to play the same lick in a different key. Try the key of A, for example. What you will need to do is to transpose the lick, and figure out what fingering to use. That open E string we used in this example will not work in the key of A, so you will need to use one finger to fret that note, while those other two notes descend. Sorry if this sounds complicated, but I will provide you with tab for this lick in the key of A in the near future. However, try figuring it out yourself first. That is the best way to learn!

Well explained - it is very difficult to see how players fingerings work - but you play it over in different ways and make it all very clear.
Thanks,
Geoff
