[@gerardedit]

Thanks for this Ross! I bought a copy of your book. I'm looking forward to digging into it and finally learning how to get out of playing cliche blues.

[@guitarpie1223]

Ross, firstly thanks all the great work! I have bought almost everything you put out so far, including the book. With that said, if you dont mind, could I possibly make a suggestion? Would you consider adding a loop (repeat) and a half time button to the video examples? Next to the volume, casting, CC, settings etc? The first would eliminate the need to move from the guitar to the computer at every go and the second would make it heaps simpler to go half tempo as we wouldnt need going into setting to change the video speed. We could hear it a couple of times slow then go back to the original speed. If further fine tuning is neded (going to 25% or 75%) we could just use the settings as currently available. This is far from a deal breaker, it may even be a small thing, though the amazing slowdowner interface really nailed the concept of practing in front of a computer without going back and fourth. I could be wrong but I believe it would make the interface a lot more use friendly. Cheers mate! 🤜🤛

[@gtrplyr007]

Working through the book now, Blues makes much more sense now, and the music is coming alive!

[@jlang66]

This was absolutely incredible. It took what a lot of other teachers may or may not mention and put it into one perfectly organized lesson. Perfect!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

@@TimWiechers-qg9cv You could do that but if you weren't mixing in major 3rd's of those chords into the minor pentatonics for D and E, it would sound quite amatuer-ish in my opinion. Personally I like to avoid this type of approach.

[@bostonhayworth1264]

This young man is both a talented player and a gifted teacher. Best Class I ever took and I'm 68!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

@@bostonhayworth1264 Thank you!

[@nvlddmkm1282]

This is how you promote a course. This was a genuinely great lesson, well constructed, no rambling, useful overlays, and full of legitimately useful information. I'll be grabbing the book because of this. EDIT: I purchased the book, amazing content for the price.

[@Jfknosc0pe1]

I got the Robert Johnson master class it’s really useful. You have to sign some non disclosure contract tho for ur soul

[@PsychRian]

I'm ~25 minutes in and, having played for ~10+ years, infrequently; this makes a whole lot of sense to my ears - One of the best tutorials i've come across.

[@raslolayton2152]

I feel almost guilty feeding off this free lesson. Thank you, my man, this is a) a very very valuable lesson and b) ridiculous for being free. Guilty I might feel, but I will take. Quite seriously this is a great lesson , and your guitar talent is only overshadowed by your generosity. Thank you.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@mwilson70201]

The 12 bar blues progression is perfection. A great inventor, whose name escapes me at the moment, said simplicity is the source of genius. The trick is to get from point to point without appearing to be stumbling blindly down the path. Love your lessons and need them desperately. I'm sick to death of taking 3 lefts to go right. Think about that statement for a few minutes, 3 lefts equals going right. Teach on my brother. From an old wannabe guitar player.

[@-mariacallas1054]

I'm 55 years old South Korean. This is the best free blues guitar lesson I've ever seen in my life. So, I bought the book and online lesson. Your book is really what I want and fantastic. From now on you are my teacher. Thank you for your great job. ^^

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much! Hope you love the book

[@Soundshake75]

Teşekkürler.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you!

[@andrewmclennan5464]

His new book is excellent. Highly recommended. Shows me how little I have picked up in 40 years.

[@d_ward4871]

I’m only 17 minutes into this video, but I can already tell that this is the lesson I needed so badly to study. I got pretty good at playing guitar through my 20’s and into my 30’s Unfortunately, I lost most of my skills when I became a father( no time to jam) but I’m recently trying to get back into guitar playing.

[@robnic52]

Thanks! Phenomenal lesson. Trouble is everyone is going to be killing it too. :)

[@jeffro.]

Naw, doubt that. A few might, but most won't bother to put the work in.

[@Ronno4691]

Not really - everyone who DOES finally nail playing the Blues following this method will sound similar but not the same. I like Eric Clapton, Albert & BB King, Johnny Winter, Steve Morse, Mick Ronson and Captain Sensible and my playing wil be totally unique as will yours.

[@drj602]

You are a genuine teacher who cares about your students learning the material. 👋🥳👍

[@RiffBiffo]

Is this the best instructional video on blues guitar ever?! Why wasn't I told about this years ago? Everything explained so clearly and logically. Well done lad.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much

[@daviddarragh]

Dido what he said amen God bless you Ross your awesome brother 👏

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you!

[@revilorellim86]

Man! LOVE that mixolydian w/ flat 3 and flat 5 idea, such a powerful concept. Thankyou

[@m.vonhollen6673]

I’m so glad that concept is circulating! 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7 (Mixolydian + the Blues scale) are the most useable notes over a Dominant 7 chord (1-3-5-b7). Even the remaining 3 notes of b2/b6/7 can be used in chromatic lines.

[@nathanmcauley121]

There's plenty of great guitarists on KZbin, but very few great teachers. You are both! Will check out your other resources 👍

[@StumblebumBand]

Hi Ross, I am enjoying this master class so much. I am a professional vocalist and I have been fronting bands for 40 years I’m 69 years old and Have been playing guitar for five years. I’ve played with so many guitarists in the past that didn’t know how to do anything but copy things note for note, had no clue about Theory or how to improvise. Early on in my journey, I instinctively knew that it was important to do things like learn some theory, learn where every note on the entire fretboard was, and learn how to play arpeggio’s and triads, especially dom seven arpeggios, because I am mostly into the blues. I previously taught my self to play through 12 bar, blues Progressions with Dom seven cords using just dom 7 arpeggios. This lesson of yours is a perfect continuation of that. I just wanted to thank you for the great master class. It is helping me tremendously….Todd B……ps. How would you handle the quick change 12 bar blues?

[@guitarjym]

Thank for so generously sharing your time, knowledge, and clarity of presentation. A superior lesson.

[@anilyazar_]

Amazing lesson as always!! Ive been playin for 22 years. I keep improving thanks to your videos!!

[@m.vonhollen6673]

I combine Mixolydian and the Blues scale for: 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7. (Even b2/b6/7 can be used in chromatic lines.) All 12 notes!

[@stp6641]

I’ve been playing for over 30 years and this would be one of the best lessons I have come across. The book is great too, if you got a lot from this lesson I highly recommend the book to take your learning even further. Great work Ross!

[@duckboi94]

BY FAR one of the most comprehensive and succint tutorials on how to accent chord tones for blues progression. I've been trying to understand this concept for most of my life and you single handedly explained it in such a easy manner. Thanks Ross. You're a G.

[@garyrochussen3430]

Hey man! I want to thank you for this fantastic lesson. When i was learning the blues, long before the internet, I had only records and a phonograph and endless needle-drops to learn from. If I'd had access to great teachers such as yourself, how much faster and better I would have developed!!! Thank you for this, and I'm hoping your book is even more helpful, because I'm going to go grab it right now. Cheers!

[@paulburridge5194]

Lifelong guitarist who plateaued (think that’s how you spell it!) about 35 years ago, kids/work etc. Now retired and 64. What a great video and an absolute game changer. Ross you’re a tremendous communicator and teacher and I love the feeling of actually learning and progressing. You need to do a video on how to avoid tendonitis due to obsessive practice now! Definitely getting your book. Brilliant presentation.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much!

[@CHOCABLUESATITLAN]

I just bought this guy's book. I've bought a lot of lessons, subscribed to Truefire for years. There's one thing different about this book. I think this guy actually wants you to learn this stuff!! I don't know about anybody else but for 17 or 18 bucks, it sure as heck is working for me!

[@mathewbrown9371]

Turnaround Licks Targeting Major 3rds: 16:57 Full Solo Play Through: 19:42 Example 2 - 4 chord change: 37:14 Back to the 1 chord: 39:31 The turnaround: 50:44

[@andrewnicon]

This is great, I've been so bored with my own playing and needed to spice it up a bit. Those passing tones are already doing the job after about 15 minutes of noodling around.

[@40somethingblues68]

This is unreal! I just watched this through and it's pure gold. There are weeks of stuff in this video alone to work through. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it and to be so thorough yet clear in your explanations. I'll be ordering a copy of your book in support of your good self.

[@jamesbailey5008]

Honestly these are the best lessons I've seen, been playing for decades

[@HAMMERHEAD-g3h]

You just taught in an hour, what it taught ne over 20 years to learn. I hope people understand how good of a lesson this is. For me, over the years I learned the pentatonic in all positions and then as I played over tracks, I found all the filler notes to add in. Never knew much music theory just knew that those extra notes sounded good so they started becoming a regular part of my impression.

[@_InTheBin]

KZbin at its best! This is how I wish it to be. Calm, informative, constructive, good-willing, caring. You are a great teacher and became a mentor for me straight away. Even though I'm new (once again) to guitar and now swinging between them drums ;) Thank you and alike other users already mentioned a bit of shame is oscillating that I just took it for free. Thank you, Sir!

[@tohotmosiii7898]

Hi Ross.. I've been playing blues among others since so long, but just going through this lesson for only half an hour I already feel I'm playing real deep and richer blues like never before! Thank you solo much.

[@TheBladepolisher]

Hey Ross ! Rob here as a newcomer. That opening blues track was about as sweet as they come. No shortage of notes which makes it even more amazing as to how sweet it sounded. Not one wasted note throughout ! ! My guitar playing career is literally a graveyard of past teachers with pretty much all of them knowing how to play, but not knowing how to break it down in to smaller understandable AND useful chops.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Now that's a detailed lesson man. Especially to enhance the blues playing, it's always a great time to learn. Cheers Ross

[@PhoenixUnlimited]

I’ve watched days worth of guitar lessons on KZbin and this has already explained so much in a way I finally understand crystal clear. I will definitely be buying the book. Thank you for taking your precious time to share with us.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Glad it helped. Thank you

[@ob1canob939]

I bought Ross' book several weeks ago and I am glad that I did. Hands down, this describes the blues scales much clearer than any other book that I have seen to date. If you want to add colour to your improv, then this is the way forward. Ross is a great teacher who puts the message across clearly and his videos emphasize what a talented musician he is. If there is one book to buy for advanced players of blues, then this is it. Outstanding Ross!!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thanks for your review man! 🙏🙏

[@Geotubest]

Quite possibly the best teacher on KZbin. Love ya man.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@bpc4341]

I've been playing 20+ years, for the last few years I've focused much more on theory and this may be the absolute best lesson I've ever watched (and I've watched A LOT). Bravo!

[@ClinToneCust23]

One of the best master classes I’ve ever seen!! Nailed it!! This is why I bought your lessons many moons ago your a terrific teacher 🙏

[@beandog100]

Brillant. Concise, intelligent, superbly structured and levels above most YT lessons. You're a great teacher, thank you.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you 🙏

[@skimanization]

Well done Ross, I'm not even a guitarist, my background is in Jazz saxophone. For a very long time now I thought or was taught that in order to play any blues you must first of all memorise a ton of blues scales, but they didn't work for me. I always loved blues guitar but I postponed it because I couldn't find anyone who explained it to me the way you do in this video. It's so well explained and surely I'm motivated to buy your blues book/s. Thanks.

[@Mherkava]

Well done!! Clear and systematic approach without leaping stages of explanations. Brilliantly simple.❤

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Yup the lost Blues jump scale, sounded real good!

[@paulbrown4193]

The most clear honest lesson I've had the pleasure of listening to, thanks Ross. I'm heading for the book!

[@johnnyreyes3402]

I been looking at your videos as I’m a huge SRV fan as well as the genre. Great job! If you haven’t seen or heard of Chris Cain do so. What he does with one amp and one guitar is nothing short of awesome! ❤❤❤

[@robindavis726]

Have never seen it so well explained. Will be buying the book to get the licks. Well done

[@talitemsujamir5057]

Ross, thank you very very much for this blues guitar masterclass . God bless you more for your generosity

[@johnmcaleese8459]

Damn. Your introduction hit what I'm going through right on the head !! Yep, IV, V throws me off. By the time I get where I should be, it's back to the I chord .

[@TimsGuitarWorldwithTimFeskorn]

Just bought your book Ross. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this concept. Thanks for this masterclass and your book. Probably the best resource available anywhere for us old guys that have been playing the same licks for 100 years.😎

[@SidBonkers51]

Thank you so much for this lesson, a lot has "clicked" for me today. I shall watch it again tomorrow and have downloaded the free TABs and backing tracks and have added your book to me amazon account for future download. Really, thank you so much.

[@secohen73]

The BPBG book just came in the mail today. Looking forward to the deep dive!

[@maombimumbarhi6849]

I lost you for a while I am glad I found you again. Young but composed. Great teacher

[@Esokyotoo]

Thanks so much Ross! Watched this when it came out and I enjoyed it so much. Just came her to say I really genuinely appreciate your continued contributions to the blues guitarist community. This is genuinely the best there is on KZbin on chord changes and the blues.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@ob1canob939]

I watched this video and immediately bought the book. It's rare to have someone play such tasteful blues and teach it well. I believe that we are going to hear great things from Ross in the future. I met Matt Schofield when he was 24 years old in Maidstone and he really impressed me. The same goes for Ross, he has really captured my attention. I have been playing blues for over 25 years and never really thought about playing minor or major pentatonic scales; I played what sounded good to my ear. This is great Ross!! I hope to see you play live one day. Outstanding!!!!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you 🙏

[@remixgimix]

What a quality time I spent for an hour! Great !

[@dwaynemullett9462]

I'm glad I found this sure hope I get a lot out of it. I've really been struggling with blues soloing.

[@caesarsrevenge8945]

I'm glad Ross brought this to KZbin. I bought the book but the downloads seemed to be taking forever to load and were pretty sizeable. I gave up and was HOPING Ross would make it available here. Thanks for bringing some of it to the Tube Ross !!

[@bentaupa8725]

I can't believe this. I've been struggling to play blues with the minor pentatonic since high school. This lesson is incredible! I'm grabbing your book. Thank you Ross!

[@looseunit9180]

So cool thanks so much!!!

[@stephenlinsley4802]

Wow Ross, you’ve answered questions I’ve been struggling with for years. I’ve heard these concepts before but never had them talked through so clearly, thank you. Well done mate. Gonna buy the book now.

[@kevc-69-]

Book purchased and can't wait to devour it. Your method of teaching is enlightening Ross and unlike some, you share the "secrets" All the best

[@drj602]

I think Ross is a natural teacher who genuinely cares about helping his students. 👍

[@Brian-pr1dq]

You are a cracking player Ross, and a fantatic teacher. Power to you!

Right in my Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky). Thank you!

[@kane6529]

Gonna save this and come back to it soon 🤩 thanks Ross

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

This is a very well thought out and presented class providing pertinent information that took me almost 10 years to learn and master on my own. What I wouldn't do to take this video back in time to give myself many years ago. Great lessons, Ross. It's even more mind-blowing when one considers that it's free.

[@raihankhanphotography6041]

Thank you! This lesson was absolute gold. And to properly say thank you, I just ordered the book!

[@jp.provencher]

Ross is the Real deal! This lesson alone is worth more than the price of his paperback (which I just ordered btw, no brainer) I can"t believe how affordable this book is with all the efforts put into it! I almost feel guilty to pay so little for it!😁 I felt frustrated with all the money notes I was leaving on the table using the pentatonic/Blues scale. Ross has addressed this missing link in a clear, concise, professional manor and, I understand this may not be for everyone but for me, it is exactly what I was looking for and the timing of this couldn't be any better! Looking forward to put it all into practice, starting tonight! Thanks Ross! Keep up the good work, Im a fan!

[@jp.provencher]

UPDATE: The book is obviously great value. I just finished chapter 7 and really starting to get a feel of where my degrees are. I am going to Rinse & repeat the last chapters a few times before I embark on the turnover and close the loop. Finally making the progress I was looking for, I Definitely broke out of My Blues Guitar Rut!

[@dickiemoe7530]

Thank you so much. You have to be one of the best instructors out there, hands down.

[@Fer-un9vh]

Im going to analize and study carefully all the intevals relative to the chords. Thank you very much man, I personally needed this step up

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

Analizing it could be painful, maybe analyse it instead ;)

Nice, saw your book on Amazon and thought oh another blues book. This video has convinced me otherwise.

[@markspencer4557]

I bought the book just to support you because this master class is so excellent. You have the unusual combination of skills by being both a great player and a great teacher (I should know I teach on KZbin myself - video editing). You have really matured over the years into an excellent communicator. Thank you for this.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you so much Mark

[@nathanplant8212]

I watch quite a bit of guitar tutorial videos and I gotta say your's are some of the most enjoyable and easy to grasp. I almost always have some new ideas or ways of thinking musically. Keep it up!

[@m.vonhollen6673]

Also try this: the 3rd and b7 form a TRITONE. The 3 Dominant 7 chords each have a tritone, and because that interval is the same shape whether 3/b7 or b7/3 (inverted), those 3 tritones are always located right next to each other (3 in a row). Using them is a fast way to always find the absolute best notes that define the 3 Dominant 7 chords. (They will always form diagonal lines right across the entire fretboard, and in at least 2 places.) - So E7’s tritone is either G#/D or D/G#, and found on E/A strings at frets 4/5 or frets 10/11. (3 tritones in a row, and forming at least 2 diagonal lines … always giving you the most “inside” notes for rapid location of the best notes.)

[@darrylgodfrey9604]

Wow! I have the book/lessons as part of my purchase of Bulletproof Guitar Player 2.0, so watching this masterclass gave me a great taste of what I have in store for the future. You've done a fantastic job of breaking down the complexity so that even I could follow the concepts, even if I can't put them into practice right now.

[@elbass0]

I learned all this stuff the hard way. But this is the clearest exposition of this material I have ever seen. Wish someone had taught me with such clarity. If you're new to these ideas, Ross is absolutely standout compared to much else on KZbin.

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you David

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Thank you Fernando 🙏🙏

[@gianluca.i]

Ross I'have bought this book. Your explanation is perfect and it's exactly what I was looking for. It's a complete manual to understand how to improvise on a blues and even if it contains many elements that I already have under my fingers (dominant arpeggios and scales, use of sixths, major thirds, etc..) I admit that like many people I don't have these elements with a complete and clear order. I think that your book is honestly the best buy on the market!! Congratulation for your playing and for your teaching job!!!

[@GeorgeRamrod]

Maybe the best breakdown of this kind of blues music!...

[@Jim-dn6pp]

Great class Ross! Can't wait to get your book! Cheers from Ontario Canada
