Chords for 50 Texas Blues Licks - #39 Turn Around - Guitar Lesson - Corey Congilio

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Number 39 is Turnaround and Sting.
Now this is a classic Stevie Ray Vaughan turnaround.
You'll hear this in a lot of his different songs that are this tempo or this key or whatever.
The cool thing about it is that you're deliberately playing over each chord.
_ That really turns heads because you're just kind of mapping out each [N] chord as it goes
along through the turnaround.
_ _ Take your time with this one.
There's a lot to it because it's jumping around.
It's moving different parts of the neck but it's really flashy and when you get it I think
you're really going to be happy with this one.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _

So you probably hear people say this guitar player plays through change as well.
Well that's commonly heard in jazz and sometimes in rock music where there's more than just
three chords in a given song.
Most of our blues tunes are the 1-4-5 you've probably heard over the 12 bar progression.
_ The pentatonic scale works well for just about all of that.
But in this case we're going to play through the turnaround in the key of E over B7, _ [A]
A7,
and [E] E7 _ [Bm] back [B] to B7.
_ And we're going to outline [Eb] the chord changes.
We're going to slide into that B7 with a little triad.
[Ebm] Three note chord [Bm]
and _ then actually we can add that [A] flat 7th.
_ [Ebm] So it's slide, finger, it's going to [B] grab those two first and second [A] strings, reach
over to that 10th fret.
[Db] _ [Gbm] 9th fret gives us actually the 9th [G] sound in this that we've [B] talked about.
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ Grab that one, that's the first [C] example over the B7.
Then we go to A, a whole step down, starts out the same [A] way.
_ [E] _ [Bb] _ [A] _
Little chromatic walk down from that 9th note now.
_ [B] _ _
Against the A chord it's a B note.
So I don't want to confuse you too much with this 9th and frets and strings [A] but just get
the [B] fingerings [A]
and the sound.
Always go for sound.
_ [Bb] _ _
[A] _ _ _ A little quarter step bend again.
[Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ Then a huge jump down to the second fret.
You can just go for broke here.
[G] _
_ [E] _ _ Slide [Bb] from anywhere.
[E] _
[D] You don't have to [Em] slide from [B] super far [A] away.
[B] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ Get down to that second [G] fret, third string and pull off.
[E] _ [D] _ _
[E] _ And then play this little triad which is your E major chord. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ Then we have our, you know, one of the famous double stops where you're actually going to
slide [Gb] into this.
[Bm] _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ That's basically your [E] fourth fret, third string, second [G] finger is going to grab that.
_ [E] _
First finger hits that second string E and then you double that.
I'm sorry, it's a D.
_ _ Hitting that first string. _
[Em] _ Creates a cool little sound. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ So [G] _ [E] _ _
[G] double stop.
_ Do all down strokes.
[E] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] Then you're going to walk into the B7 from the third fret G note [A] here.
[Bb] _ [B] _ _ _ So there's a lot going on but tons of stuff.
I mean this will really turn some heads. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _
_ So take your time with that one but man, [Abm] when you get to play a blues in E, you'll have
some Stevie Ray Vaughan-isms coming through your fingers.
