A turnaround in the key of A minor
We will start this turnaround with the plain and easy A minor chord. It looks like this with guitar tab:
0/5 2/4 2/3 1/2 0/1
If you release the finger pressure a bit and slide the chord up two frets you will get the following chord:
0/5 4/4 4/3 3/2 0/1
A nice sounding chord that can be named in different ways. We can call it B minor with A as bass note and an added E note. Abbreviated it will be Bm/A add 11.
By sliding the chord up one more fret and changing just one note (by pressing down your little finger) you will get the following guitar chord:
0/5 5/4 5/3 5/2 0/1
This will be an A minor seven chord. The short notation is Am7.
Played in the following order the chords will create a turnaround:
Am Bm/A add 11 Am7 Bm/A add 11
These two turnarounds are easy contributions to your guitar repertoire and can be changed and developed as you like.
