Hello David.....In accompaniment study 2 Section 1.12 (12 bar blues song) " I want you with me" Is the first 27 seconds or so of the song the TURNAROUND and then you begin to start to play right afterwards or is the (opening or beginning)of the song is where you should start playing along with jam track. Because after about  27 sec. of the song I can clearly hear a 5 chord come in. I am having trouble with the opening of song whether it is the actual beginning or wait for turnaround to go by then begin. Thx. JT
