00:00:00,230  -->  00:00:00,730
Turnarounds.
2

2

00:00:02,230  -->  00:00:06,583
Basic blues tunes are normally made up
of a repeated sequence of 12 chords.
3

3

00:00:06,583  -->  00:00:09,660
And when you get to the twelfth chord,
there's a device called a turnaround,
4

4

00:00:09,660  -->  00:00:12,590
which is basically a chord like pattern,
5

5

00:00:12,590  -->  00:00:16,170
gives you a strong audible desire to
return to the beginning and start again.
6

6

00:00:17,300  -->  00:00:19,570
This drives the tune forward and
7

7

00:00:19,570  -->  00:00:22,210
gives the listeners a since
of involvement in the tune.
8

8

00:00:22,210  -->  00:00:26,560
Try the examples on the following page for
blues in the key of C and
9

9

00:00:26,560  -->  00:00:27,940
add them into your playing.
10

10

00:00:27,940  -->  00:00:32,580
So when your practicing, every time add in
a turnaround to get you back to the start.
11

11

00:00:32,580  -->  00:00:37,178
So the first one is just a very basic one.
12

12

00:00:37,178  -->  00:00:41,692
And for all three exercises
we're gonna start with the F
13

13

00:00:41,692  -->  00:00:44,970
middle rather than the F middle to the C.
14

14

00:00:44,970  -->  00:00:49,094
So this would be bar tense, so
you're nearing the end of 12 bars, so.
15

15

00:00:49,094  -->  00:00:56,860
[MUSIC]
16

16

00:00:56,860  -->  00:01:00,364
Now that makes you wanna
go back to the start.
17

17

00:01:00,364  -->  00:01:04,380
Second one is gonna have a bit more
complex pattern in the left hand.
18

18

00:01:04,380  -->  00:01:05,142
So it's gonna end.
19

19

00:01:05,142  -->  00:01:07,804
[MUSIC]
20

20

00:01:07,804  -->  00:01:11,552
All right, you can lock your fingers so
you've got the F, first and 5th.
21

21

00:01:11,552  -->  00:01:12,477
[MUSIC]
22

22

00:01:12,477  -->  00:01:13,553
Up to the G.
23

23

00:01:13,553  -->  00:01:15,341
[MUSIC]
24

24

00:01:15,341  -->  00:01:20,710
Basically it ends in the G
to go back to the start.
25

25

00:01:20,710  -->  00:01:22,299
So C.
26

26

00:01:22,299  -->  00:01:24,434
So again, remember this is bar 10.
27

27

00:01:24,434  -->  00:01:32,765
[MUSIC]
28

28

00:01:32,765  -->  00:01:35,640
Makes you want to go back again to start.
29

29

00:01:35,640  -->  00:01:38,758
Number three that's going to
have two patterns together.
30

30

00:01:38,758  -->  00:01:40,800
One the right hand, and
one on the left hand.
31

31

00:01:40,800  -->  00:01:41,511
The right hand
32

32

00:01:41,511  -->  00:01:48,927
[MUSIC].
33

33

00:01:48,927  -->  00:01:50,075
Left hand again
34

34

00:01:50,075  -->  00:01:53,813
[MUSIC]
35

35

00:01:53,813  -->  00:01:56,302
Then you add them both together.
