What is a turnaround? A turnaround is that last little harmonic bit at the end of a song, or section of a song, that gets us back to the top of the tune. Usually this means getting us from one chord back to the same exact chord. In this lesson we look at 14 different options to get us where we need to go. These options keep the chords in their most simple form without any voice leading so that we can truly hear all of the sonic possibilities.
