In this guitar tutorial I’ll show you some of the many ways you can play turnarounds in Blues. The examples are based more around something you might do when filling in a rhythm guitar part as opposed to a lead approach. We’ll look at some simple ascending and descending ideas as well as the I-VI-II-V turnaround which is also common in Blues.

While these examples only cover the tip of the iceberg this tutorial should give you a few ideas of how to play and expand some common Blues turnarounds. The ideas are mostly played over a slow Blues although they can be adapted to any style from Shuffles to Blues Rock. This is aimed at the beginner but contains some more taxing theory towards the end for the more Intermediate player, mainly concerning Tritone Substitutions. It’s not important to understand the theory as you can just follow the music.
