Blues turnaround riff — E minor New
A blues-style turnaround within the E minor pentatonic box: a descending phrase that partly climbs back up before settling on the root, varied across the 4 bars with a shorter, more direct resolution right at the end.
Tips
This is the typical phrase played over the last 2 bars of a blues grid before restarting the first chord: work on it alone first, then straight after an E blues grid.
