The turnaround, when you get to the 11th and 12th bars that is where we separate the pros from the joes. The reason it is called the turnaround is because the idea is to create a massive amount of tension, let it hold, and then get to the top, turning around the 12 bar. That is exactly what we are doing today, but with a twist, we are going to introduce the triplet timing. What is a triplet? In street musicians terms it is shoving swing time into a straight beat, in academic terms it is playing three notes over a quarter beat. It creates a swing time that is classic and bluesy. Another cool thing about intros? Well, you can also use all these turnarounds as intros! We are breaking down 5 turnarounds and we will go through them building up the different times, starting with 1/4 notes, then 1/8ths and lastly the triplets. Giving the turnarounds a classic bluesy sound. I won't leave you hanging lick wise either, i am going to show you how to apply these ideas to licks as well, so you can see what it sounds like when you play licks in triplet rhythm.
