Here is an example solo played over a jazz blues in the key of C to get you started with using simple passing tones and altered scales. The solo also demonstrates ways to outline standard chord changes you find in jazz such as the ii-V-I and I-VI-ii-V progressions.

For more examples of jazz turnarounds in other musical contexts, be sure to check out my videos: 'Stella By Starlight' 'Wes Montgomery Lines'.
