Chris Buck has been one of the most requested players for me to make a video on for this channel, so here we are!
In this video, I break down what I would consider to be the most noticeable characteristic of Chris’ lead playing style - grace notes performed with the use of bends and slides.
We’re going to take a look at four types of grace notes that you will often hear Chris inject into his wonderfully expressive licks and solos. I’ve broken these down into the following:
Ascending slides
Descending slides
Trill slides
Something I like to call the ‘index finger bend & slide’...
Towards the end of the video I’ll demonstrate and teach a Chris Buck inspired scale run that I wrote over the Buck & Evans track ‘Slow Train’. This scale run brings all of the grace notes taught in the video together.
Thank you to Chris for being cool with me making this video and providing me with the backing track for Slow Train!
The bonus content for this lesson - available exclusively to members of bulletproofguitarplayer.com - includes 9 exercises for practicing grace notes in your lead playing which will be very beneficial to those of you who are brand new to this.
I’ve also added a compilation video of all of the grace note examples in the RUclips video and the scale run with TAB and notation added. Downloadable TAB files (Guitar Pro & PDF) are available for all of the above.
I have not added TAB for the solo in the intro as Chris teaches this solo on his RUclips channel and I have linked that at the top of the description box.

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💪🏿✊🏿
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.
Well spotted!
Chris said in a vid he’s a huge G’N’R fan. I hear so much John Mayer though.
nothing like slash.
Clicked, expecting a lesson on REM's guitarist (my memory's not what it used to be 😜) but was glad I did, all the same! Good stuff!
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!
You guys should collaborate, monster guitarists
I'd love to. Thank you!
Imagine these two dudes in the same band 🎸🤯 modern day Beck and Page 👍
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!
Perhaps it's not so rare but I've noticed him doing it a lot so thought it was worth pointing out. Thank you! :)
Amazing!
Been following Chris’s playing for almost 3 years now. All those grace notes are spot on!!! 🔥
Thank you!
Its a nice technique which makes Chris's playing interesting, the slides are like a kind of fretted bend
Great guitarrists doing videos about great guitarrists. The world is getting better. 🙌🏼
Ah thank you!
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.
Thanks so much for this video - I haven't come across a video that breaks down this technique in this much detail - so helpful!
I've been wanting a trill slide lesson forever. Thanks man!!
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.
Thanks Ross for opening up Chris's Box of Trick and explaining why he is such an amazing and outstanding player.
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.
Really great lesson on phrasing, Ross. You put a unique spin on his style that displays your own finesse. Nice, man.
Thank you!
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!
two of my favorite artist! ROSS man you magician, you make it sound just like CHRIS!
Super lesson man! Learned much from you.
Amazing lesson! Love Chris’s playing style
Thanks Ross!!
Thank you!
Brilliantly articulated.
Ah thank you!
Ross I Can't thank you enough for this video featuring insights into Chris Buck's super slick techniques. Great stuff mate!
Thanks Peter!
Wonderful lesson! Thanks to you and Chris for all the help on my guitar journey!
Thanks Cameron!
Absolutely love Chris Buck! Great playing that showcases his action!
Thank you as always man!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Cheers!
Great look at Chris’s very cool style
Great video and new ideas for me to try!!
REALLy Great Guitar /Music Channel !
Thanks dude. Very cool.
This lesson is gold Thank you.
THank you!
@39s Sweet Child O Mine jajaja amazing solo, thank you, learning so much with your videos
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 :)
Off to try these, thanks man!
Thank you for this wonderful lesson
Glad you enjoyed it :)
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!
Wow, small touches and significantly enhance the sound and make it really beautiful. Thank you Chief!
Cheers from Indonesia.
Thank you!
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!
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.
Thank you Noah!
Bloody hell - that was amazing. Thank you.
Thanks Marc!
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
Great lesson once more. Chris is god
Saludos desde España, muchas gracias por tus videos, son muy lucrativos y me han gustado mucho, tienes una técnica muy buena, enhorabuena
What a great demo. Thanks Ross
Thanks Andy!
Here via Chris Buck’s post; so thoughtful and articulate, new subscriber!
Hey Jen, thank you and welcome to the channel!
Brilliant video. 👍.. Chris bucks style is awesome
Thanks Chris! He's great
Really well presented. Great work.
Thanks Randy!
This is brilliant!
Thanks Adam!
Excellent video. Love those bend and slides!
Thank you!
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!
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!
Thanks for this! :) Very cool lesson
Glad you liked it Sven, thanks!
Great job dude! Thanks!
Thanks Brent!
Great lesson! Subscribed😃👍🏼
Thanks!
Now if I could just learn the techniques of Ross Campbell! Fantastic brother, thank you
Thanks Stephen!
Very useful breakdown, thanks Ross. First time I've seen you, liked & subbed.
Thanks John. Welcome to the channel :)
Bam!! .. Nailed it.. Great Tone and Fantastic Playing 🙂✌️
Thank you Shane!
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.
Hahaha thanks a lot!
Wow. If I only could. Mate, hats off to you.
Thank you!
Great lesson.
Thank you!
Killer lesson brother!!
Thank you!
Great explanation and great tone. Good job.
Thank you!
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 👀😎
Thanks so much Cynthia!
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.
Chris and the flat 6. Name a more iconic duo.
Tone for days.... and some awesome playing
Really great lesson 👍
Thanks Julian!
Brilliant playing mate
Thank you!
And also notice that all the guitar players who are playing on/for RUclips are getting better every month ! Amazing... and inspirating!
Thanks Bruno!
And as a result ...so are we !!!
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!
Awesome tips and advises. You have a new subscriber...and what a strat btw😍😍😍
Thank you!
You were really feeling that solo in the intro.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Haha love it when things like that happen. Thank you!
i wanna see Chris Buck try to do a Ross Campbell lesson ....Ross for president !!!! Your teaching connects...thank you Ross.!!!!
Ross you are better then you are seen ! You must be on top !
Ross Campbell ,Chris buck ,Danny page ,Dave Simpson, are definitely keeping Ireland / UK on the map for incredibly talented Guitarist!! very inspirational content !! Cheers
Thanks so much!
Muito show a sua dinâmica ,sou seu fã só falta uma coisa pra vc aqui, adicionar a legenda ,seria 1000 👍👍🇧🇷
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.
working out the calluses
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!!
Hey! Thank you :) Send an email to support at Udemy and they'll be able to sort you out.
Rob, do you plan on releasing an HX stomp patch?
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!
Great vid Ross. That room is echo-ey, some acoustic treatment if u can.
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.
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.
Ross, Is the backing track available for the Intro Solo??
What guitar are u usin here?Love it😍
It's a 60s inspired fiesta red strat from the Fender Custom Shop
❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰
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 😎
Great lesson thaaaanks !! is it possible to buy only this lesson ?
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.
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 😂
@@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😊🙌
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.
Index finger bend and slide = 🤯
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 :)
can we purchase this backing track anywhere?
Sounded like him before the first note faded.
