Many thanks Mark. I always knew most rock was blues based but for a good 30 fears or so I was too interested in hard rock and metal to be interested in blues history. As I get older I am realizing just how much my favorite guitarist " borrowed" from the icons of blues. Clapton practically advertises his homage the blues greats, but I was surprised to find just how much Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons etc. really built their own versions of some of the older turn around, tweaked of course. Keep up the great work!
Love that last one! Another that I’ve seen that blows my socks off is using descending secondary dominants. So in E you use notes from C#7, F#7, B7, then E.
It's a special run of the Fender Player Tele. Roasted maple neck and Nocaster Custom Shop pickups. I'm liking it so far, even though I'm not generally a "Fender man".
John Hatcher on the Blues Guitar Institute teaches a turnaround that is sort of the reverse of the last one here. He plays it in E, which allows it to use some open strings in standard tuning, and he walks up with the bass notes and down on this high notes. It's a lovely turnaround I have used in my own playing. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xp7gVQF0vYw.html
Walk down on the D string, and a walk up on the B string. Perfect balance and symmetry to get to the respective E notes. Life doesn't get much better than that.
Mark, this was SO on topic for me! I've been creating my ok wn turnarounds, but doing it based on sound. Now that I know the "anatomy" of how they work, I can do much better. *** I never got this from anyone else! *** Thanks! 👌 👍 🤪
Oh my gosh! This video is SO helpful! Thank you so much for doing this! I’m going to start doing these! The pedal tones and approach chords are so cool!
Very helpful.. I knew the walk down but not the walk up. It took me years to figure out the “pedal note” does not move lol. Turn arounds sound easy enough, but getting the timing down can be tricky! Thanks!
i would like to play that first part.. but i only understand the B string 5th fret and A string or 2th fret or do you just do those 2 chords you showed A7 and E7 and then those 2 notes and that was it? and wow thanks i for the first time have an easier way to do E7 becauae of that coming with my third finger there like you do 3:45 i like how i find out in your videos how much more easy i can set my fretting fingers😂.. before i have to count each string and each fret and finger.. and after i can do it in one move i am only not sure of the first part and from 5:45 on
You're welcome. I don't really understand your question, but if you mean the "Clapton Turnaround", you just play any E (the root of the 5 chord) and then play an E an octave down. It doesn't matter where you play those notes on the fretboard.
ah i meant the 0:35 part and from 5:45 i am also lost.. but its because i dont get all those chords yet at all.. my english can be a bit off so i know it can sometimes be a bit weird choice of words the others i can follorlw very good and learned new way to remember that E7 now.. only the begin part you played and end i dont get.@@MarkZabel (ad this later, if you do at 5:45 what you explain in the end, then i get it..) the walk down and walk up and A7/G, D/F#, F7 and A5/E..
