Yes, I'm just lucky. So number 41, we're going to take a look at some turnarounds that you hear in various Chuck Berry songs. The turnaround is a lucky play to go from one verse and lead in to the next verse. You can also use turnarounds as n tags or even as introductions to songs. So some of these you'll hear used both ways. The first one is typical bass string turnaround and we heard this in the previous lesson when we saw the N tag for no particular place to go.

So far in the key of G and any wrap up a verse, you can play something like this. lead into the next verse. So all I'm doing is walking on the fourth and fifth strings. My first finger is on the fifth fret of the fourth string. my pinky is on the eighth fret of the fifth string, check the previous lesson I showed you this pretty much already. You want to move into another key, let's go to B flat, we just move and get the note.

So here's B flat, there's B flat, we start there with the first finger and then we go to the 11th fret on the fifth string. And that chord we play there is the five chord, and that is the F seventh, which is the five chord in B flat, I'm just playing the C seven shape. So that's another one. Now variation of that Chuck has a song called just a lucky show. And so I think it's the first verse this isn't B flat, instead of playing this. He doesn't like this.

So it's similar what we're doing here still having one finger on the B flat, the eighth fret of the fourth string, but this time I'm putting my first finger on the fifth fret of the fifth string. I'm doing the same picking pattern 545 then putting my second finger on the sixth fret, my ring finger on the seventh fret and lining up with both on the eighth fret. So we got this got the five is the same, or f7. So that example you can hear and Chuck song. I'm just lucky so and so I think it's at the end of the first verse. Another kind of cool turnaround.

This is Example number three comes from a check very instrumental called Blue feeling. This one's a little different. And this one is based on the sliding ninth chord shapes that we learned in mind about in lesson seven. And he does the turn around kind of like this. It's in the key of G. And so you got the sliding Knights remember this. What I'm doing is moving to this position, this is also part of this.

So I've got my first finger on the sixth fret of the second string and then my second finger on the seventh fret of the forest, sliding into it from below from the fifth and sixth frets. And I'm just going back to that slide a nice shape on the fifth fret, fourth fret, fourth fret, third fret. So we got this. I'm using my pick on the fourth string and my second finger on the second string, second finger on my right hand One more time. We're going to the five which is a de plane sliding knife court. And that's how I think it's the first or second verse in the instrumental blue feeling.

That's the turnaround that he uses. Example number four is the turnaround that Chuck Berry used out of the a position. And this one in particular comes from his version of the things I used to do. And at the end of the verses, he plays something like this. So what I'm doing here, this is the a position D chord, with the pinky on the 12th fret, so there's an E, for the ninth fret to the 11th. On the I'm getting really the fourth and the third string.

I'm getting the ninth fret, second and third string. Then I'm sliding that double stop from the 10th and 11th fret of the second and third strings to the 12th and 13th. Coming back to the ninth fret bouncing back and forth between the double stuff and the 11th fret of the fourth string. The wrap it up instead of playing the chord, the seventh he's taking this from the B seven, first position barre chord, and then go into the ninth fret of the fourth string, kind of cool. So we've played over the courts. So the song goes like the turnaround goes like this.

Really neat. And he does that throughout the song and kind of mixes it up and plays it in different ways. So any song you're playing, if you're playing in C, you could do this. You can play it in any key or you have access to that that a position. Another example comes from Chuck Berry song I've changed which is one of his more obscure songs. It's a slow blues and then towards The end of the song he does this lick.

It's really cool. And I'm not sure exactly if it's, you could call it a turnaround, but you could use it as a turnaround. It's so cool. I couldn't leave it out of this lesson series. It's in the key of G and play something like this. Check the tab pattern over the first position, G bar chord, this is a g7 with my first finger ring finger on the seventh fret of the first string, second finger on the third fret of the seventh string.

So I got this, I'm starting into it with this G at the fifth fret of the fourth string. Again, moving at one fret to the sixth fret fret, the outline of that G bar chord first and third strings on the first fifth third fret and the fourth fret so the whole thing then the sliding seven I just thought that was that was pretty cool and that you can hear that in check song I've changed. One last example of a turnaround This one's kind of different than the kid from a song and the key of B flat another one from I'm just lucky so and so we saw one where he plays on the bass tracks this one he does like a double step thing, something like this. Like this. And he uses at the end of the verse, there's no turn around, doesn't go to the File.

It's just just keeps going. Listen The tin and you'll see what I'm talking about. So we're in the key of B flat, and I'm starting out, hammer it into a B flat double stop first finger on the sixth fret, second and third strings, hammering on to the seventh fret getting the second string and the third string, the hammer on is on to the third string. And flattening out on the eighth fret of the second and third strings, sliding into a B flat seven, double stop at the ninth and 10th fret. And then coming back to something like this. Something very close to that.

And that's from the song. I'm just lucky so and so. So there you have some examples of turnarounds that you hear in Chuck Berry records. Most of those Chuck Berry play, there's a couple that may have been played by Matt Murphy, as well, but you hear him on the records and they're turnarounds that you can use in a lot of different keys and in lots of different ways.
