ianwild16 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I always seem to end up playing the same turn-around.....its bit like the one in 'walking by myself' by Gary Moore.... Has any body got anything more interesting.....perhaps some tab or a video? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Well, instead of walking it up to the octave, you can drop it down & walk back up to the 1, but that's about it for that one. Try the II-V-I, Gary Moore uses it on 'Since I Met You Baby' (on After Hours and Blues Alive), but here's Aretha giving it large: It's in Bb, so the turnaround starts on the C (II), walks up to the F (V) & then sneaks back up on the Bb from the low G. There are a few subtle variations on this - go & find a load of Big Joe Turner, very partial to a II-V-I was Joe. Another example, from Rory & the band: Then there's the I-VI-II-V-I variant that gives a rather jazzy edge: skip the long talking bit & jump to 3:45. You don't have to explicitly state the turnaround either, quite often it's enough to just walk right through it. Get very cosy with the pentatonic scale & start experimenting, there's all sorts of ways of going from the V to the I. Pete.
