Blues Talk Not long ago we announced a brand new feature at Vision Music. Just Guitar Talk was the first of many planned MP3 "jukebox" pages, designed for both your listening and educational pleasure. The fan response was excellent, and that led to a sequel.

Question Mark... What About Jazz Turnarounds? There are two common formulas when it comes to the turnarounds associated with jazz music and related standards. Most important is the turnaround that resolves to the I chord, typically a I-VI-II-V, like Cmaj7, A7, Dm7, G7, plus numerous substitutions, alterations, and extensions. The other formula is the one that resolves to the II chord, such as a I-II-III-VI, or Cmaj7, Dm7, Em7, A7. Both are excellent for applying core jazz language in improvised solos, as well as vehicles for chord-melody arranging projects that can be effectively used in solo guitar arrangements and for ensemble accompaniment.
