Robben Ford Does This To Create TENSION | Spicy Licks #14

[@Mordi-Benhamou]

This is called the perfect lesson: 1- a killer lick 2- an excellent explanation of where the lick comes from 3- an excellent explanation of its context ... 4- great sound 5- played beautifully. Ross, You rule! All the Best, Mordi.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much Mordi!

[@FrankSpeer66]

THIS is how all guitar lessons should be done, clear and concise segments using precise language and comprehensive demonstration. Thank you Ross!!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you Frank!

[@garydean777]

I caught a glimpse of the title 'Robben Ford' as I moved my phone. I had my headphones on as I was working & the vid started playing. I thought hmm that sounds a lot like Ross though I thought it was Robben of course. Then you started your introduction & I realised it was one of your vids. We can't escape our own peculiar styles can we though we do take a lot from each other?

[@AndyBankside]

I bought his online Bullet proof theory course a few months ago and trust me, it has to be one of the most well explained, accessible and easy to understand theory courses in the world. The way he step by step. unpacks and demystifies the whole subject is just genius. Good for you Ross and thank you.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Ah thank you so much!

[@regardinghenry2145]

Same here!

[@IsomacTea]

OK, Ross. Herer's my message I should have prob'ly shared a while ago. My story is a little different than yours. I used to play guitar totally by ear, learning with others and from others in blues/jazz workshops. Got some playing in jam sessions and pub gigs under my belt - all of that like 20 years ago. Now after having raised my kids a trifle and getting to grips with the professional path I chose, once again I manage to find half an hour or a full hour to sit with a guitar and crack my fingers bending again. And here comes you with this very distinctive kind of serving attitude that shines through all you do here. It's as if you were running to record a video strip to share some idea that you have designed or learned from somebody. Others have already complimented the composition and flow of your videos. What I would like to pinpoint is that your use of "call and response" technique is splendid - it truly guides watchers' attention. What I personally love is that you link so many dots from within guitar practice, musicality, music theory, your personal experience growing with a guitar on your lap and kindness towards the listener that you've managed to re-energise old mans' joyful and mindful playing. Please accept my sincere gratitude for your work. BTW: Your pronunciation is bliss for a non-native speaker educated in high-brow standard English. For me it is like listening to a fresh and insightful manner of phrasing on an instrument ;-)

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words :)

[@erikhartley2494]

Your licks and teaching style (the tabs help tremendously) has helped me more in the past decade than anyone has, by far! Thank you.

Superb content here!👍 Thanks Ross😊

[@Mordred478]

Ross is now my favorite electric blues player, because he *gets it*, meaning each of his phrases sounds like it was composed beforehand, it tells a gorgeous little musical story, and both begins and ends in exactly the right place.

[@danielguimaraes8705]

Great lesson! Thank you!❤

[@johnbohlinger]

That telecaster is a stunner😮😮

[@MattOlpinski]

I've recently been re-inspired to break through the intermediate plateau and started scouting KZbin to supplement my in-person lessons. I've watched hundreds of videos at this point and Ross is really one of maybe two people I aspire to play like. The lessons and explanations are just fantastic and inspiring. The licks are unique and impressive, but not totally out of reach either. Signed up and waiting for the 2.0 course to be released. Thank you for creating all this valuable content Ross!

[@analogman9697]

Thanks for putting soooo much effort into these. A resource like this back in the sixties would have been useful, to say the least. I had "Mel Bay Guitar Method Grades 1-7". It was wretched. Never practiced and sight-read everything (poorly). All the teacher did was puff on Winstons and write the fingerings over the chords. Put me off of playing until I was 17. I'll see myself out.

[@cicimbello]

[@francesco0185]

What I like most of you is your ability to put theory into pratice. It's not that easy. Most of us learn a new lesson and forget in a couple of days cause we lack the ability to master to new element and put it in our playing.

[@shinjial]

Other than the playing, which is great, I like to point out that the format and presentation of the video itself is very good. It's all I want in an instructional video: accessible, clear, structured, bite-sized, the illustration of the concept is good (we can hear it, we can read it, and we can use the video to navigate - the shot helps), and gives enough information to help us develop our own ideas.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks so much Andre. I'm happy to hear that :)

[@americusdomesticus8176]

I had a VCR tape of Robbin Ford back in the late 80's teaching licks. i was amazed by his flawless playing. So glad you made a video honoring his playing. He was a very creative in his use of theory mixed with blues!!! You definitely have his feel down cold!!👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤝

@@RossCampbellGuitarist Aye! Thinking back makes me feel old - doesn't seem that long ago I was 18! Love your playing Ross and your teaching style is very accessible. Obviously, the live scene has taken a serious beating of late but do you plan any live dates at all? Not sure if you have a band at the moment? If it wasn't for the pandemic Josh Smith - who I'm sure you'll know - was booked to play Aberdeen last year. The tour has been rescheduled but with fewer dates and the only Scottish date is in Edinburgh in October. I'm going to try to get a ticket. If you're there, maybe you could sit in?
