Hi David

When practicing Walk with me. 4th Chorus " lick " 5 + 6+ 6 6+ 6+ 5 5 5+ 5+ 4 5+ 4 . I don't hear the Turnaround I pause for a second and start again. But it doesn't sound right. I've watch many times when you do it. and try to get the same sound. But I can't get it.. It sounds if there should be another 6 + there when I listen to it

Thanks

There is another 6+. The 5+ 6+ 6 6+ resolves the previous phrases... the 6+ 6+ 5 5 5+ 5+ 4 5+ 4 is the turnaround. Also, the turnaround starts on beat 2... that's something to focus on. Keep at it, you'll get it.
