Are you constantly playing the same old licks using the minor pentatonic scale?
Do you look at shredders like Phil X and Joe Bonamassa and wonder 'how on earth do these guys play such mind-blowing licks using the minor pentatonic?'
Well, you're not alone. I used to struggle to get creative with this 5-note scale and I too would look at players of that calibre and feel inspired but at the same time I admittedly felt a little bit hopeless...
I could not fathom how they were able to create such blisteringly fast, technical and fresh-sounding lines using the same scale that I'd been playing with for years.
Everything I played with the minor pentatonic sounded re-hashed, cliché, stale, repetitive... and if you're nodding your head reading this, then you yourself know exactly what I mean!
Fortunately I was able to move past that and unlock new approaches to using the minor pentatonic by simply looking at what those guys were doing in great detail.
I would watch videos on TH-cam, pick a scale run that I liked the sound of, slow the video down and loop it over and over, I would even tab out the line in Guitar Pro note-for-note and after doing so I was able to analyse what was going on and figure out the key ingredients that made, say, a Joe Bonamassa pentatonic lick, sound so damn amazing!
Fortunately for you, what this means is that I've already cracked the code on what makes their pentatonic runs so incredible and so in this free TH-cam lesson, I'm sharing with you THREE pentatonic scale runs that take influence from the likes of Phil X and Joe Bonamassa so that the next time you take a solo on a gig, you can turn heads with your newfound pentatonic approaches!

I am so proud of you Ross. This is awesome Dude 👌 For sure no doubt... you are the Master. I've been following your lessons for awhile , a coupla years or so and you were the one who made Music Theory 🎶 make sense. I appreciate you so much. I am an Advocate for the Americans With Disabilities and I have been trying to find online instruction to recommend to those with challenges on how to learn guitar in different formats other than sight driven. You might be able to help me out with your Bulletproof 2.0 Online course 😉. Best of luck to you.
@@cynthiapatton472 Thank you Cynthia :)
Thank You Ross, you've a really good balance and cadence when you break down the runs, also helpful with the fingerboard graphics shown.
Much Appreciated
@@jessicacabrales1178 he does this around 6:49
You should make a whole course around this concept! And maybe after you show us the different runs you could break down how to use the patterns to improvise further. I’ve been practicing the first one all day today!
I believe I have found my guitar Guru! You teach the things I have been wanting to learn and you explain them in a way that is easily understandable. Love your channel!
About 4yrs ago, I got injured at work. Had a good 6months off. I started searching TH-cam for great online teachers to pass the time. With a lot of time on my hands, I researched well over 200 online teachers. I found about 12 that taught real, no bs, lessons playing our favorite instrument. Ross is in my top 12 for sure. You've found a Great guy and teacher! Keep playing, enjoy and Rock on!!
Agreed!
Wow! I read all these comments about Ross after I posted to keep mine pure and authentic. This guy Ross Campbell must be related to Vivian Campbell. Aside from several similarities, Ross is just phenomenal at playing and teaching. Everyone in the comments section are supporting that. Happy New Year and God bless you all out there, my fellow pickers, thrashers, strummers, and shredders.🎸❤☺🙏👍
@@lancecass8997 So who were these teachers? I ask out of curiosity as I have a few myself. (not all guitar) Brian kelly from Zombie guitar. Jake Lizzio from signals music. Stitch guitar method. Sean Daniel. Ben Eller. Samuraiguitarist. Ricky Comiskey and justinguitar are some of the ones I rate highly.
Your playing just keeps getting better and better, Ross. Definitely going to shed these for the next gig!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Oh thank God. Finally, someone who teaches the kind of licks i alwalys wanted to learn to play on guitar and always saw them in music videos, yet i didn't notice people teaching them on yt.
Thank you!
🙏🙏
Slick man! It's not just the notes and patterns that really make this difficult...it's your articulation that really make it shine! Well done sir!!
I love all these runs but Pentatonic Run #1 is my favorite. I can't wait to show it off. Thank you so much.
Been waiting for this. Things we love to hear and want to be able to do. Thanks a lot.
This guy is a genius. And his tone is to die for. Keep up the great work Ross.
Thank you so much
100% his tone is spectacular. I'm of the mindset that tone is derived from the competence and skill of the fiddler. Ross would sound like Ross playing a $100 Donner Strat
@@Thomas-cw9ej absolutely. Tone is in the hands.
It's not chocolate lol
Great lesson! So glad I stumbled on this one. I’m really looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Shannon!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Just what I’ve been wanting!! 🎉
I love when you do hard rock n shreddy stuff!!!!! Killer lesson
Ross - Great little lesson. Thanks for all you do for the community. Loved that second run...had an EJ-esque quality. Oh, and stellar alternate picking man. Happy Holidays.
Thank you! Happy holidays to you too
JB has an EJ flavor to his playing especially on "Blue and Evil"
I liked the 9th fret C# note on the second lick. Takes you by surprise and makes a pentatonic run sound interesting/ sophisticated 🏴 🎄 ⛄️
Perfect lesson! Thank you so much!
Thank you for these licks. Absolutely brilliant.
The pentatonic scale with the right tones and techniques is so powerful! Cheers as always!
Thank you!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist My pleasure!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist gygggggwwatyy sent from drsde
Yes so true, I think people diss on the pentatonic because 95% of players using it mimic the exact same boring patterns used since the 70's.
I am so excited to rip thru these!🎉🎉. Thanks so much 😊
As always amazing content and amazing quality! Love it!
Thank you!
This type of lesson is the best kind - keep them coming.
I really like this lesson as a great example of mixing different note groupings. The biggest thing for me was although the first lick is relatively straightforward, I’d never move Pentatonic shapes on the 4th string like that. Just a slight variation on what I normally do but that feels really fluent. It’s so cool to shine new light on old windows!!
Thanks Matt!
Loved this video Ross.
I have to thank you again Ross for taking your time to open so many new avenues for me to explore! Much obliged sir. 😊
Glad it helped Gordon!
I’ve almost got the first one up to speed. Can’t wait to learn the other 2. Fun licks. Thanks Ross.
Finally ! I've been starving for this ! Thank you !
Great lesson !!! Thank You my friend! 🎯👉🎸🚀
Now I've something to challenge myself with when it's raining. Many thanks. Awesome. 😊
that was very damn good tone ross, amazing as always
This is the best lesson I’ve watched to date. Excellent. Really well laid out, and had me subconsciously re-learning all pentatonic positions and new ways to enter and exit each position. Man just great!, Thanks.
Thank you so much!
great lesson video !!
Sublime sounds and a lovely explanation m. Thank you
Really great content and lessons. I appreciate the way you break these down and show it slow enough for people to learn. You truly are a fantastic teacher. Much appreciated. Happy New Year.
Thank you so much!
Amazing channel. I love the highlighted green display and how you break these into sections. I’m definitely smashing that follow button
Thanks Jake!
amazing stuff! love your videos on Joe Bonamassa.
Thanks!
keep up the good work my friend, im enjoying the ride
Thanks a lot for sharing!
I had a breakthrough tonight after learning the first run - Finally!!!!
Sounds good. Nice Strat!
This is very helpful, thank you!
Just discovered your channel today and have only watched this video but I really like how you break the sections into easy to understand bites. I’ve always wanted to be able to whip out some stockish ascending and descending licks that cover more of the fret board than the 4 and 6’s in a box position. I say stock as in to add to my bag of tricks not as in boring. I’ve been playing for nearly thirty years with a good 15 to 16 year gap of not really practicing and progressing just whipping out an acoustic here and there but all the guitar content on TH-cam has reignited the passion for guitar and I’ve been playing pretty seriously for the past 2 plus years. Thanks for taking the time to break this down for someone with very little theory can understand and implement. I couldn’t get my parents to buy me lessons growing up but had a couple friends that did take lessons and I was able to keep up them as far as what they could do by the guitar mags and what They would show me from their lessons but I always felt like I was holding on for dear life lol. We all three managed to challenge each other and competition drove us to get better. I still don’t really understand the positions of the fretboard but maybe if I hang around this channel it’ll come together eventually. Man I wish I had the resources when I started playing that beginners do today.
Thanks Brandon! Welcome to the channel :)
Happy New Year Ross! Your my first new sub of 2023. Your an incredible player and teacher! Peace man!

Awesome lesson! Thank you Ross!
Thanks Marc 🙏
The second and 3rd ones are killers 💪🔥
So cooool 🤘🔥
This in on my personal TOP 3 of best guitar lessons on YT.
WELL DONE!!!
Pretty nice dude. Thanks
Great tutorial ! you have a new sub here from Quebec ! Thanks
Great lesson and demo of a great pedal!🤘
Thanks!
I’ve decided for this year I’m going to look up licks that work along with my knowledge of the CAGED system and practice different licks every week. This seems perfect and hopefully I learn a lot more about what I’m doing.
Thanks a lot for this beautiful gift!
❤️🎸🎵🎶🎼💝
🙏
Fantastic as ever. Thanks Ross
Thank you Tim 🙏
I was training for 2 hours the first its really rewarding bro thanks I didn't get it totally clean yet but im hooked thanks alot ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really love this video's gives me new inspiration. It is so easy for a guitar player to get stuck in the same kind of licks and moves because of muscle memory. I remember the first video I saw on this channel it was about runs and licks in the key of Em I loved it an subscribed. And I am happy I did .
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Really cool lesson
Really cool sounds
Really great lesson and playing, thanks 👊
Thank you 🙏
Great lesson as always
Thanks Josef!
this is exactly what I needed!
Awesome !
Thanks, really good lesson that can easily be applied to my playing!
Glad to hear it!
Great fretboard exercise as well
super good my man
Awesome 🎸
Love it
Note groupings and practice are often not given enough focus by the majority of players. Joe , Gary and Eric J are all really great exponents of playing odd groupings whilst keeping the notes they play simple. Great video Ross hopefully it will go a long way to making folks think twice about playing solos consisting of triplets and sixteenth notes only🤘🏻
Great stuff! thank you, can you elaborate more on the right hand on some of this especially the last run. 🙏🏻
Sounds great in Bm. Thanks for these three licks….seems like you can teach an old dog new tricks after all. The 2nd lick on string set 1 really helped speed up my descending….something I’ve always struggled with. If I was 40 years younger and starting to play again with your lessons I would have been like Malmsteen or Guthrie G by the time I was 20…..maybe 😊Great tone Ross…..hope the new course for 2023 works out for you.
Thanks Robin!
You should explain the starting points and resolve notes which maybe more important or connecting notes and why it’s done that way. Great tone
Cool Stuff for my Christmas days. Perfect sound on guitar.. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Thanks! Have a good Christmas
Hi Ross . Hope you're doing well . I just now saw one of your Videos for Pentatonic Scales and I immediately
Subscribed . I've already looked thru a few of your Videos . Wow Dude . At this point I just want to say Thank You for sharing your Knowledge and putting in the work to make these Videos available to the people like me who can't really afford to purchase Hour long Guitar Lessons from a Professional Guitarist like you , who could easily just insist on only giving Lessons face to face at $ 75 . 00 an hour and not share your knowledge on TH-cam . Anyway , thanks . This Pentatonic Lesson that I'm starting with is frikn Amazing !! Hopefully I can get it up to speed sometime in the next few weeks and then I'll feel like I'm making progress .
Thanks so much Rik!
Lovely runs ma, thank you.
Super 3 pentatonice & overdrive pedali 🎸🎸🎸😉
thx for the killer ideas!
Thanks Scott 🙏
Nice picking technique. I had a close eye on it. Picking sounds so clean. 😂👍🏼
Thanks🙏🙏
Thanks!
Thanks for the superchat 🙏
Ross Campbell I'm William Campbell I once met Vivian Campbell at a guitar show. All my brothers played my dad played and his mom played guitar. Must be in the Campbell blood. Rock on Ross you are an incredible player and teacher. Thanks !
Thank you William!
Your welcome sir.
Fantastic. Thank you!
It sounds INCREDIBLE 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Have you posted, or can you post, a video covering the picking hand technique for these licks? Would be very helpful. Thanks for the great content.
Fantastic and inspiring
🙏🙏
Great!
Nice lesson, many players have a hard time getting out of the box and utilizing more of the fretboard 👍
I subscribed in about 15 seconds when I run across this channel!
Definitely no beginner riff but the info is good stuff for everyone who plays ! I haven’t sat down with the electric guitar and tried to let any of it yet but its going to be something im going to work at hopefully it will sink in and I’ll be able to incorporate rate it into what little I really know
Awesome. I thought I was the only one that right hand moved forward and I get to the higher strings 😮
Haha yeah I have a habit of doing that
my skill level to a tee … Fun as hell talk about a confidence builder !
Ross love your channel. Do you set up all your own guitars or take them to a luthier
Ross, I’m fairly new at guitar, but fairly old at 65. I liked how you broke down the lesson. Not that I totally understand your talk about positions and other terminology. But I was able to follow your breakdown of the notes and play it at 50%. I so wish I started guitar 55 years ago! Thank you!
