Blues turnaround — E New
The last two bars of a 12-bar blues in E (E7-A7-E7-B7), isolated and practiced on their own: this exact phrase is what prepares the ear for the first chord's return when the grid loops.
Tips
Once this phrase feels secure, play it right after a full E blues grid (already in the catalogue) to hear it in its real context.
