So this week's lick of the week is obviously real jazzy and horn -inspired and what it really is? It is a turnaround lick for an F Blues. And if we think about the last five measures of an F Blues progression and a jazz blues, that would be A minor 7 flat 5 to D7. And the other G minor 7 to C7 and then the turnaround F7 to D7 to G minor 7 to C7.
So the first part of that, I will play through it slowly. It's kind of a wild ride but basically on the A minor 7 there, you are arpeggioating the chord. In those cases what we really are doing? Just playing a lot of really neat notes on the chords that I just showed you. So D to E flat back to D and C. So that's D, E , flat D, C or 10, 11, 10 on the first string to thirteenth on the second string. That fits that A minor 7 flat 5 chord perfectly. And then we are going to add a substitution here and it's pretty cool.
Over the D7 chord, what we are going to do is play what look like a B flat augmented arpeggio, try an arpeggio. And that's B flat, F#, D and B flat. The eleventh fret on the second and then the eleventh fret on the third string to the twelfth fret on the fourth string, thirteenth fret of the fifth string. So we are going. And that works perfectly over that D7, that actually makes a good D7 flat 13 arpeggio but it's basically the notes of that chord.
And that was all on string A which is right at the moment that you hit the G minor 7 chord. So it's a nine and now you are going to hammer to B flat back the eleventh fret and then to the twelfth fret on the third and the fourth string which is the root fifth of the G minor chord. So we have got. And then we are going to go. That's again that same arpeggio of the augmented chord.
Now at the ninth fret and that's A flat, E, C and A flat and that's really sort of like the C7 chord. After that you are going to resolve right to the G, F and that's at the moment you hit F chord. So you get G, F and after that we have got a D7 chord coming up. And I am going to play D, E flat, D, C which is root flat 9 or root flat 7 of D7. So it's the seventh to the eighth fret back and then the tenth fret of the fourth string. So we have got.
So let's look at that to get G, F over the F chord; D, E flat, D, C over the D7 chord and then. Now I have got a G minor 9 chord and this is just a direct arpeggio sort of a B flat major 7 looking arpeggio but that's A to B flat on the fourth string. So 7 to 8, D to F on third string to A on the second string. So you get. And of course this is all tanned up in the beginning too but 7 to 8 on the fourth string, 7 to 10 on the third string to 10 on the second string.
And then sort of again into that augmented thing and from G to A flat, eighth to ninth fret on the second string, down to the ninth fret of the third string to the tenth fret of the fourth string. So you get. That's right over that C7 chord and then ultimately, sliding the E to E flat for the very last two notes and that's right at the moment that you land into the F7 chords. So you get. So that's just the colorful turnaround lick for an F Blues.
I will be telling platonic and let's start working on the interluding part so I do so. We are going to bend here on the second string nineteenth fret. You are going to switch up the unison bends to kind of give it that dramatic kind of feel. So it's.
