That's pretty darned close auxi!

In most popular music, chord progressions create tension and then resolve that tension...the end of a section or form usually is the "tense" moment and then as the form repeats you have a resolution.  As Auxi stated above, moving from the I chord (tonic) to the V chord (dominant), then back to the I chord creates tension and resolution. Now, you can make lots of stops in between the I and the V chord....here are some common ones in popular music:

I IV   I  IV   I  IV   V
I vi IV V
I iii IV V
I vi ii V

Very generally speaking, a turnaround is the portion of the chord change that goes from V-I, or from tension to resolution. In blues, the turnaround is the end of the 12 bar phrase....in the key of C, it's when you go from G7 back to C. In its simplest form, a turnaround the end of a form or section that leads to another section or a repeat in the form.

Turnaround can also refer to bass line patterns but we can probably skip that for now.

Ouch Z. I know at least a tiny bit of music theory.

No difference. In this example you're basically walking the bass line down from the C to the Am using a passing tone rather than just switching chords outright.

Although I've never heard this song you can probably also play a G/b in that spot and it would sound just dandy.

you can also start by learning the solos of guys you look up to, then changing them a bit and making them your own.

Thanky!

Welcome! Do you play a righty guitar flipped like Hendrix or do you play a standard tuned, standard strung lefty?

Starting by clapping is a great idea. Then clapping and a foot stomp.

I'm not a senior yet though bro.

Mine asks me to hang them in different rooms. She thinks they are cool decor. I also have a Les Paul painting and oils of Hendrix, Ray Charles, and Thelonius Monk in our foyer, as well as a shadow box of my first CD. She's really supportive (which is great since I don't think she's a huge fan of my preferred genres of music).

She's also supportive when I bring home an impulsively purchased ES 335 or other high end axe. Good girl I got.

Sperzels help too.
