This challenge is dedicated to teaching you how to play the Ukulele like Robert Johnson.  Today we are continuing to build off our 12 bar fingerpicking in D and taking it to the next level, we are adding the turnarounds! We are breaking down two different turnarounds with descending chords that are non-diatonic. That is really interesting because we are normally moving off the five chord or the b7th tone, but this time we are doing it with chords and after that we are moving towards the I chord with with bII7 chord, which is not common at all! This are really cool turnarounds and they will not only sound great against the 12 bar fingerpicking progression that we did, but they will also sound great with any 12 bar blues in the key of D.

Hey Tyler. In the fist turnaround in the video you are playing a B7 and Bb7, but the tab shows a B and a Bb chord. Which is the preferred set of chords?
