A four-bar turnaround is a repeating 4-bar (or 4-measure) musical phrase that loops continuously throughout a song. This keeps the harmony simple and catchy while allowing rhythm and melody to do most of the work.

Beginners: Practice slowly, one bar at a time, and make sure you're comfortable with the quick changes in bars 1 and 3. The rest is about locking into the rhythm and keeping a steady strumming pattern.
