In this tutorial, you can learn how to play an Easy Blues Turnaround in A.
The turnaround is typically the last 2 bars of a 12 bar blues. I’m using the key A which means the chords used are: A chord (I), the D7 chord (IV) and the E7 chord (V).
In the turnaround i.e. bars 11 and 12, the chords used are the A and the E7 chords.
I will teach you how to play the turnaround and then I will be playing a 12 bar blues so that you can have a clear idea how the turnaround will fit in the complete Blues structure.
You can check out some great blues like B. B King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and Robert Johnson to listen to some great turnarounds.
In this video tutorial, I will share the most important aspect of playing a Ukulele- STRUMMING. For any ukulele player, whether you play in a group or at home, or you are a beginner or an experienced player, knowing how to strum properly is important. The mistake that most people make is that they simply pick up the ukulele and strum what comes naturally to them. The problem with this approach is since the technique is incorrect, it limits their talents and can even cause injury. I am working on helping you attain mastery at playing the ukulele, so I have specially created this video to address the issues associated with strumming.
In this lesson, I will give you useful tips on how to avoid mistakes and become a great strummer.
I will talk about:
1. The finger to be used for strumming.
2. Where exactly to strum.
3. Looseness and flexibility of the wrist.
