The Blues Turnaround is a special kind of lick, that can be simple or complex, and is typically played during the last two measures of a chord progression, quite commonly in the 12 bar blues.
Its a signal that your chord progression is about to end and go back to the beginning or “turn around”.
The best way to understand how to play a Blues Turnaround is to see one in action.
In the video lesson below, David Taub from Next Level Guitar demonstrates how to play a really cool Blues Turnaround Lick on the acoustic guitar.
