Buck is the only "favorite newer guitar player" I've had in 20 years. Ill watch shred videos, be impressed, then bored after a few minutes. I'll land on his video and can watch them for hours.
I didn’t know Chris’ bend and slide using the index finger is a rare thing! When I learned this embellishment, I learned it from his videos so I just thought it’s the “standard way” of doing it 😂. I gotta say though, it’s one of his big money-maker technique and it just turns ears no matter the melodic passages he creates. Thanks for doing this lesson and explaining the terms as well!
That was 20 minutes very well spent. Both you guys are Monster players I've learned great stuff from you and Chris. I've noticed that technique from him over the years but never really focused on exactly how he was doing it. I'm definitely going to be putting some effort into it now. Many thanks to you both.
The index slide thing i'd never seen either, nice touch, can't help but think of him in the same spirit as Matt Schofield even if his phrasing and style are different, very subtle and loads of dynamics, great player, nice to get this insight from you thank you.
Chris is a difficult man to capture but you, Groovy One, did a great job! A beautiful tribute to an Amazing player's style. I concur with the masses. A duo get together would be so nice. You both make me dream of being better while enjoying the fact that you are. Stay Well.
Perfect, thank you. So easy to follow, so rich in content. I reckon all we need is your channel and Chris Buck's channel to have available all the knowledge we need for sensitive guitar. It then obviously remains to be seen whether we can utilise that knowledge. My only regret is that Chris doesn't have a strong Welsh accent - there would be a certain entertainment value hearing the two of you discussing the merits and demerits of phrygian progressions vs lydian progressions. Add a Georgie in the mix and we're ready for free-form jazz. Jokes aside, many thanks for an incredibly valuable lesson - and thanks to Chris for just being the amazing, self-deprecatory talent that he is.
Wow Ross beautiful phrasing and playing beautiful tone beautiful strat, you got IT! Thank you. Cool tats too. Oh and the teaching and explanation, really enjoyed this. Chris is awesome too :)
One thing I’ve noticed with Chris Buck’s playing is that he plays a lot of slash style licks but instead of quick hammer ons and pull offs he does half step slides and it’s very unique.
Great video. I think it’s the combination of Chris’ use of his right hand fingers and these slides and bends instead of hammer-ons and pull-offs that helps give him that distinctive warm buttery sound. You captured it nicely.
Awesome video, Ross. Appreciate the insight and the time and effort it takes putting something like this together. I'm a big fan of Chris and have covered this solo on my channel myself.
Nicely done! Borrowing time is interesting. I think it “uses” time to differentiate notes. Chris Buck has found a niche for nicely placed notes! I really enjoyed your explanations and demonstrations!
Excellent masterclass on Chris's style. While I could see and hear what he's doing in videos, my brain just couldn't put the two together to figure out the "how." Thank you!
Amazing! He also does some kind of bend---->slide . And when he slides he doesnt pick the actual string. A lesson on that would nail everything haha. You got a new sub,bro.
Seriously, feels like Chris Buck started playing guitar in 2020, and 20 years later in 2021 he left me feeling like I should be wearing a special helmet from now on. I do feel he’s in the wrong band though, and if they love that dude, they need to force him towards the hall of fame he’ll be in one day by accepting he should be sharing the stage with legends.
The internet is truly spooky. I was trying to practise Slow Train during my lunch break at about the same time as this video gets posted. You must have heard me trying to play! Thanks so much for imparting your wisdom. Great playing.
Really liked the in-depth knowledge of Chris Buck i love his playing. Also Can you make some videos about double stops of mark littterie like on extra terrestrial really a phenomenal player
Great upload, my man! You nailed the sound and that strat is sounding just like it should. Always a pleasure to watch your stuff- good structure, great sound and perfect execution. Digging the new look as well, BTW. Suits you. Side note: any updates on the move to Nashville? Can't wait for the content you'll create in such an inspiring environment! Cheers
Ross Campbell ,Chris buck ,Danny page ,Dave Simpson, are definitely keeping Ireland / UK on the map for incredibly talented Guitarist!! very inspirational content !! Cheers
The trill with the index finger is a step further than what BB King would do ,,, BB often would bend with his index finger & then go on with the lick ,, here the trill is added on & then you finish the lick.
Hi Ross, I want to say thank you for the effort you put into your passion of the guitar 🎸😊😀☺. You have the gift of music and the intelligence to teach it to me and that's hard to do!!! 🤣😂😁😆😅🤩🥰😊😉 Haha . I subscribed to your channel a long time ago but life got in the way of chatting and spending time with my fav Subscriptions ❤ keep up on these really 😀 great my level interesting videos. I'll be watching 👀😎
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Fiesta Red may just be the best Fender color. I also like an aged Olympic White with a tortoise pickguard. However, I think Fiesta still wins. You might chuckle to know that I call this "Campbell's Tomato Soup Red."
Thank you! No - the content in the EXTRAS section (with the exception of Spicy Licks - Package 1) is exclusively available to those who have an active subscription to my website. It's 'patreon style' content, so I'm always adding new stuff there based on these free lessons. It's worth mentioning however, that you can cancel a subscription plan at any time - you're not locked into any sort of contract when you subscribe on a monthly or annual basis.
Sort of weird but... If John Mayer and Chris Buck had a baby = This guy. Great playing by both. I guess I'm off to incorporating that index-finger-dee-whoopty-doo into my playing. So cool 😎
Hey!! Awesome video as always!!! I purchased your class on udemy a while back and for some reason I can't access it anymore. Is there another way I can access the class? thank you so much for all you do!!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist lol, it was just unexpected! I’m loving your lesson style as it progresses too - beautifully clear and eloquent, especially when you were explaining what grace notes are😊👌 The new set up is great but I wonder if some acoustic treatment might help cut down the room reverb? Other than that your content is fantastic and I always look forward to your lessons😊🙌
Ah, thank you so much brother! You know what I’m doing better than I do 😆 Fantastic video. I really appreciate it!
Legend. Glad you liked the video dude!
Two of my Favorite players in the world!!!!!!!
Please both of you collaborate🙏
Definitly feeling a bit of Slash influence.
Chris can we purchase this backing track anywhere? Cheers
Buck is the only "favorite newer guitar player" I've had in 20 years. Ill watch shred videos, be impressed, then bored after a few minutes. I'll land on his video and can watch them for hours.
He's so damn good
I’m absolutely the same!
Ditto
Agreed. The man is already a legend so good
He is a beast....you should also check out Mike Lemmo. They are two of my favorite "new" guys💪🏿✊🏿
Absolutely love your teaching style. Subscribed!
Chris's stylish placement of 'grace notes' are proof that he has the soul of a poet... a stunning guitarist. Great explanation too 👍
At least his bands know who to call if he can't play for whatever reason. Dude your playing is always outstandingly good.
Thank you so much!
Great guitarrists doing videos about great guitarrists. The world is getting better. 🙌🏼
Ah thank you!
Chris and the flat 6. Name a more iconic duo.

Thanks for doing this lesson and explaining the terms as well!
Perhaps it's not so rare but I've noticed him doing it a lot so thought it was worth pointing out. Thank you! :)
Hey Ross, thanks for all the obvious labor you put into creating this.
Been following Chris’s playing for almost 3 years now. All those grace notes are spot on!!! 🔥
Thank you!
Really great lesson on phrasing, Ross. You put a unique spin on his style that displays your own finesse. Nice, man.
Thank you!
Its a nice technique which makes Chris's playing interesting, the slides are like a kind of fretted bend
I've been wanting a trill slide lesson forever. Thanks man!!
That was 20 minutes very well spent. Both you guys are Monster players I've learned great stuff from you and Chris. I've noticed that technique from him over the years but never really focused on exactly how he was doing it. I'm definitely going to be putting some effort into it now. Many thanks to you both.
Absolutely love Chris Buck! Great playing that showcases his action!
Thank you as always man!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Cheers!
Thanks Ross for opening up Chris's Box of Trick and explaining why he is such an amazing and outstanding player.
The index slide thing i'd never seen either, nice touch, can't help but think of him in the same spirit as Matt Schofield even if his phrasing and style are different, very subtle and loads of dynamics, great player, nice to get this insight from you thank you.
two of my favorite artist! ROSS man you magician, you make it sound just like CHRIS!
Brilliantly articulated.
Ah thank you!

One thing I’ve noticed with Chris Buck’s playing is that he plays a lot of slash style licks but instead of quick hammer ons and pull offs he does half step slides and it’s very unique.
That's makes a lot of sense since one of his idols was Slash. Afaik he was playing in a gnr cover band at first
Great video. I think it’s the combination of Chris’ use of his right hand fingers and these slides and bends instead of hammer-ons and pull-offs that helps give him that distinctive warm buttery sound. You captured it nicely.
Here via Chris Buck’s post; so thoughtful and articulate, new subscriber!
Hey Jen, thank you and welcome to the channel!
Awesome video, Ross. Appreciate the insight and the time and effort it takes putting something like this together. I'm a big fan of Chris and have covered this solo on my channel myself.
Thanks Ben!
there has never been a better guitar. the strat is the end game.
Super lesson man! Learned much from you.
And also notice that all the guitar players who are playing on/for TH-cam are getting better every month ! Amazing... and inspirating!
Thanks Bruno!
And as a result ...so are we !!!
REALLy Great Guitar /Music Channel !
Nicely done! Borrowing time is interesting. I think it “uses” time to differentiate notes. Chris Buck has found a niche for nicely placed notes! I really enjoyed your explanations and demonstrations!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video - I haven't come across a video that breaks down this technique in this much detail - so helpful!
Thank you for this wonderful lesson
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great lesson once more. Chris is god
Tone for days.... and some awesome playing
This lesson is gold Thank you.
THank you!
Thanks dude. Very cool.
Amazing lesson! Love Chris’s playing style
Thanks Ross!!
Thank you!
Wow, small touches and significantly enhance the sound and make it really beautiful. Thank you Chief!
Cheers from Indonesia.
Thank you!
Great look at Chris’s very cool style
Now if I could just learn the techniques of Ross Campbell! Fantastic brother, thank you
Thanks Stephen!
Excellent masterclass on Chris's style. While I could see and hear what he's doing in videos, my brain just couldn't put the two together to figure out the "how." Thank you!
Thank you!
Saludos desde España, muchas gracias por tus videos, son muy lucrativos y me han gustado mucho, tienes una técnica muy buena, enhorabuena
Ross I Can't thank you enough for this video featuring insights into Chris Buck's super slick techniques. Great stuff mate!
Thanks Peter!
Great lesson! Subscribed😃👍🏼
Thanks!
That’s a good lesson Ross! Let me tell you. Not to lessen other players. But Chris Buck is the best guitar player I’ve seen in years!
Thanks Robert! Yup Chris is incredible
Has anyone been able to access the backing/tabs recently? By the way, you nailed this more than most people would realise I imagine. Spot on!
You were really feeling that solo in the intro.
What a great demo. Thanks Ross
Thanks Andy!
Off to try these, thanks man!
Ross you are better then you are seen ! You must be on top !
Brilliant video. 👍.. Chris bucks style is awesome
Thanks Chris! He's great
Amazing! He also does some kind of bend---->slide . And when he slides he doesnt pick the actual string. A lesson on that would nail everything haha. You got a new sub,bro.
Thanks! Welcome :)
i know the thing you mean - i saw some guy doing it randomly on a PRS demo the other day
Seriously, feels like Chris Buck started playing guitar in 2020, and 20 years later in 2021 he left me feeling like I should be wearing a special helmet from now on.
I do feel he’s in the wrong band though, and if they love that dude, they need to force him towards the hall of fame he’ll be in one day by accepting he should be sharing the stage with legends.
Really great lesson 👍
Thanks Julian!

Haha love it when things like that happen. Thank you!
Great explanation and great tone. Good job.
Thank you!
i wanna see Chris Buck try to do a Ross Campbell lesson ....Ross for president !!!! Your teaching connects...thank you Ross.!!!!
Excellent video. Love those bend and slides!
Thank you!
This is brilliant!
Thanks Adam!
Really liked the in-depth knowledge of Chris Buck i love his playing. Also Can you make some videos about double stops of mark littterie like on extra terrestrial really a phenomenal player
Thank you! Mark Lettieri is another guy whose playing I've meaning to make a video on forever. Good suggestion!
Very useful breakdown, thanks Ross. First time I've seen you, liked & subbed.
Thanks John. Welcome to the channel :)
Great lesson.
Thank you!
Bloody hell - that was amazing. Thank you.
Thanks Marc!

Great video and new ideas for me to try!!
Musical knowledge and explanation aside, your tone is magnificent. May I please ask if it is a Tube Screamer or something of the sort? Thank you.
Thanks for this! :) Very cool lesson
Glad you liked it Sven, thanks!
Wow. If I only could. Mate, hats off to you.
Thank you!
Killer lesson brother!!
Thank you!
The trill with the index finger is a step further than what BB King would do ,,, BB often would bend with his index finger & then go on with the lick ,, here the trill is added on & then you finish the lick.
If you've watched Chris Buck's videos long enough the IF Bend and Slide is probably the first thing that jumps out.
Totally agree!
working out the calluses
Hi Ross, I want to say thank you for the effort you put into your passion of the guitar 🎸😊😀☺. You have the gift of music and the intelligence to teach it to me and that's hard to do!!! 🤣😂😁😆😅🤩🥰😊😉 Haha .

Thanks so much Cynthia!
Brilliant playing mate
Thank you!
Bam!! .. Nailed it.. Great Tone and Fantastic Playing 🙂✌️
Thank you Shane!
Awesome tips and advises. You have a new subscriber...and what a strat btw😍😍😍
Thank you!
Great vid Ross. That room is echo-ey, some acoustic treatment if u can.
What guitar are u usin here?Love it😍
It's a 60s inspired fiesta red strat from the Fender Custom Shop
Great stuff Ross although Chris drives me daft with his finger pick to actual pick playing which baffles even David Blaine ! 🤣
Haha! That can take some getting used to indeed. Thank you!
Rob, do you plan on releasing an HX stomp patch?
Awesome as usual Ross. What strat is that and color? Looks like a CS '60-'62 in fiesta red?
Thank you! It's a CS 60's strat (no idea what the specific model name is) and it's fiesta red indeed. My favourite guitar colour.
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Fiesta Red may just be the best Fender color. I also like an aged Olympic White with a tortoise pickguard. However, I think Fiesta still wins. You might chuckle to know that I call this "Campbell's Tomato Soup Red."
@@stevesoldwedel Aged Olympic White is also a winner. Shell Pink might be my next favourite Fender colour
Always liked Sonic Blue myself…Beatles link I guess.
Both of you also really vary how much you dig in to vary attack from almost pinch harmonic down to smooth, adding another layer of articulation.
Ross, Is the backing track available for the Intro Solo??
I am very interested in doing the right scale modes.
I have a lot of content in my courses on my website about learning and applying scales/modes in improvisational contexts.
Great lesson thaaaanks !! is it possible to buy only this lesson ?

Index finger bend and slide = 🤯
Muito show a sua dinâmica ,sou seu fã só falta uma coisa pra vc aqui, adicionar a legenda ,seria 1000 👍👍🇧🇷
Great video, what are you using for this tone?
Thanks! A line 6 hx stomp xl. Preset based on the litigator amp model into a ownhammer bogner 2x12 IR with the 'minotuar' OD in front of the amp
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Thank you :)
dude where can I get this backing track? GNARLY
Chris sent it to me for use in the video. Maybe he has one for sale on his website? I'm not too sure.
Fantastic lesson, thanks Ross! Hoping you find your way home from the dark, starless void of whatever black hole you’re currently lost too bud😬
Thanks Suzy! Haha not a fan of the new setup? I really like it personally but we do have brighter backdrops we can try out 😂

Index finger bend and slide. Andy Timmons and Brian May use this all the time. Excellent lesson. And damn that tone is sick !!! Cheers from Philly !!!
Thank you! It's always interesting to hear about people noticing the same techniques/concepts in other players.
Sounded like him before the first note faded.
