“Big Band” Style Ending in C
Check it out.
This Big Band style ending in C is a classic, but I learnt it from Bireli Lagrene. It’s especially useful at a slow to medium tempo and really swings.
You chromatically slide the shape up the neck until you reach your home key, adding the little voicing at the end rounding it off very nicely. It’s classy and will suit any song in a major key (that’s alot!). Practice it in all keys and it will come in really useful.
Let me know how this works for you. Leave me a comment or question on this page. Cheers.

Nice one, Robin … I’m watching it at work (!) and don’t have my guitar with me but I’m eager to try it out. Good snappy endings are invaluable; the ending is often what the audience remembers most about a song.
