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.
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
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 RUclips 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!!
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.
Out of all the RUclips guitar channel dudes and countless tabs online and in print, only Ross could get me playing THAT sequence of notes in Sweet Child Of Mine :-) Take note, all previous guitar teechurs!
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!
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
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 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!!
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. Good stuff . Lots of people , it seems , like to talk of 'great tone' - the truth is, I hardly ever plug my Strat in - it doesn't seem to hamper me in any great way.
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 RUclips 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.
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.
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 !
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
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! R
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🤘🏻
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.
I keep catching myself defaulting to hammer ons and pull offs in an effort to try and shortcut my way to get it fast. Am I shooting myself in the foot there? Do you pick every single note or use hammers and pull offs? @RossCampbellGuitarist
That sliding thing to a different position...I can just imagine how that could be utilized to, as well as making closer note ascending or descending jumps to different positions, one could use that strategy to go from low to, all of a sudden, slide up to a really high position, and vise versa...thanks for this, IMO, great video.
Yup. Also single string work is something most people don’t do enough of. Just mentioning because it combines well with the technique of shifting the you were pointing out. Especially with the “full” major/minor scales. All of that together will definitely open up possibilities you can explore forever. Endless things to shed!
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 .
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.
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 RUclips . 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 .
This guy clearly explains how to do scale runs! At my age I still trying to figure how to do " scale runs"!!! My fingers kinda hurt. Maybe I need a guitar with low string action? 🤔
I did not think I could learn that 1st ascending run this quickly. I figured it would at least take a month. but it took me about 3 days to play at speed. Today is the 4th day, and I will try to play it faster than 100%, so 100% will be easy. I’ve been playing since the 1980s, but only recently have made significant gains in fast picking by learning Van Halen I’m the One, which made me even think I could attempt this. That previous lick haunted me for decades until I tried it. I tried your 3 beats per day technique, but what worked for me was jumping around. I find my fastest speed without mistake, then play about 20 % faster barely hanging on. I was at 60% speed cleanly. and then just tried it at 90%….Then Something weird happened. Even though I wasn’t perfect, I was picking differently…More musically. Then suddenly, 80% was cleanly. It’s weird…like once you get the feel of playing it fast, the rest falls in place. Later that day, I tried 100%… and it was not perfect, but then 94% was cleanly. Then 100% speed and beyond.
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.
This is great stuff. When I was a kid decent guitar tuition was non existent. We had crappy magazines, erroneous tab books or overpriced tutors that had nothing to teach.

@@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.
Your playing just keeps getting better and better, Ross. Definitely going to shed these for the next gig!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
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!
Uh, he just did* - it's called Pentatonic Rock Lines and it's on his BPG website.
*As of December 2024.
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!
I liked the 9th fret C# note on the second lick. Takes you by surprise and makes a pentatonic run sound interesting/ sophisticated 🏴 🎄 ⛄️
I love all these runs but Pentatonic Run #1 is my favorite. I can't wait to show it off. Thank you so much.
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.

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.

Thank you William!
Your welcome sir.
Speaking of superior guitar ability genetics,... Glen..( Campbell)
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
Are the tabs not available any more?
I hate stretches for pentas - but hey, its so obvious that they improve a lot, !
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!!
Been waiting for this. Things we love to hear and want to be able to do. Thanks a lot.

I had a breakthrough tonight after learning the first run - Finally!!!!
Thank you for these licks. Absolutely brilliant.
Now I've something to challenge myself with when it's raining. Many thanks. Awesome. 😊
This type of lesson is the best kind - keep them coming.
I love when you do hard rock n shreddy stuff!!!!! Killer lesson
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Just what I’ve been wanting!! 🎉
Im going to learn and practise those licks.. thanks bruh
Awesome lesson. Woudl be really cool if you could share the backing track you're using so we could practice with it as well.
Finally ! I've been starving for this ! Thank you !
Dig that strat with an ebony board. Mint green pick guard looks tough on the red,
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!
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
I keep catching myself defaulting to hammer ons and pull offs in an effort to try and shortcut my way to get it fast. Am I shooting myself in the foot there? Do you pick every single note or use hammers and pull offs? @RossCampbellGuitarist
keep up the good work my friend, im enjoying the ride
I’ve almost got the first one up to speed. Can’t wait to learn the other 2. Fun licks. Thanks Ross.
Nice lesson, many players have a hard time getting out of the box and utilizing more of the fretboard 👍
Great lesson! So glad I stumbled on this one. I’m really looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Shannon!
that was very damn good tone ross, amazing as always
great stuff. not as simple as I thought when I first saw it. tricky fingering for us that are too used to staying in one position
That sliding thing to a different position...I can just imagine how that could be utilized to, as well as making closer note ascending or descending jumps to different positions, one could use that strategy to go from low to, all of a sudden, slide up to a really high position, and vise versa...thanks for this, IMO, great video.

Thanks! Here's a video all about it - ruclips.net/video/dcdne8CtXLk/видео.html
This is great stuff.
When I was a kid decent guitar tuition was non existent. We had crappy magazines, erroneous tab books or overpriced tutors that had nothing to teach.
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
Did u say Phil X? Good to see a local boy being acknowledged for being the incredible guitarist he's always been! Was ecstatic to find that Rick Beato and he were friends.
WELL DONE!!!
