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 YouTube 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 YouTube channel and I have linked that at the top of the description box.
