Great lesson. Where did all these turn arounds come from? I have always thought were these created using theory first, or did someone play portions of chords to acheive this sound. I also wonder who was the first person to start using these turn arounds, is it actually known where the origins are from?

I've never looked at this video before but like my presentation enough to comment on this question. I think the old blind guitarists of the south who started the blues invented this because it was always there since the beginning.

I hear variations of turnarounds in the old recordings.

This guitar sounds amazing.

I'm gonna take a wild ass guess and say it was W. C. Handy.
