Introduction
Have you ever been on the bandstand when somebody called out a blues, country, or jazz standard,
and you weren't armed with a pre-established way to introduce the tune? The resulting
"dead air" in front of an eager audience (while your band members argued over what to play)
may have been enough to put you into cardiac arrest!
Do you have a sufficient vocabulary of tasty licks to "fill in the holes" left behind a vocalist's phrases at
the end of a basic blues-the last four bars of the 12-bar form, referred to as a "turnaround?" If not, your
days as a guitarist may be numbered. Can you navigate your way through the last string of changes in a
32-bar jazz standard?
Finally, do you have the material to effectively bring a blues, country, or jazz tune to a close? Even if you
just played the best solo of your life, if the tune ends up fizzling to a stop (because nobody took the initiative
and coughed up a "proper" ending), you may end up leaving the stage frustrated, your tip jar a little
less than full.
The purpose of this book is to provide you-the multi-faceted guitarist-with a flexible collection of intros,
turnarounds, and endings for each of these genres. Though many of the following figures speak for
themselves, all are fully annotated and contain everything from chord progression analysis and technique
advice, to tips for the application of each passage (including song-specific scenarios, in the case of jazz)
and ways to maximize their usage. Some readers may even bypass the written text altogether and just listen
to the accompanying audio tracks, then flip to the appropriate page to pick off the transcription. The
choice is yours. The bottom line: If you're in need of a solid collection of riffs and licks that'll make you
sound like an established authority in virtually any section of your average blues, country, or jazz tune,
you've come to the right place. - Dale Turner
