How to Play a Turnaround Progression: Part 2

CASEY CORMIER: Now, we're going to play, basically, what will be a 2, and we can make it dominant if we like. So this would be an uppercase 2. So 2, 9th chord with our fingering like this, 5th fret of the A string, 4th fret of the D, 5th of the G and 5th of the B. And then a 13th chord, if you recall, we made the 13th dominant shape with our bass on the E. I going to make the--and a G 13th, 3rd fret on the low E, A is muted, 3rd fret of the D, 4th fret of the G, 5h fret of the B. So notice the important thing about this chord progression is that E, the 5th fret of the B string, is the top melody note, or the top note of each chord, which gives us a very distinct sound compared to. So experiment with this type of turnaround with a couple of different keys.
