Under-rated Mike Campbell? discuss.
Path
of my favorite, very tasty guitar players. He never seems
to overplay or underplay, always just right. And for that
matter Tom hisownself is a very good rhythm guitar player
as well, and good rhythm players are becoming a lost breed.
anyhow, anyone know any of Mike's licks, gear, prefs and
such?
just wondering.

I've played in a couple bands where we did "breakdown" and "Running down a
dream" Both of which are great TP&TH songs, and the latter is one of Campbells
best riffs IMHO.
Breakdown as well, since, again IMO, TP doesn't do enough stuff in a blues vein

better known tracks, (although some people may not know he co-wrote it,) is
The Boys of Summer by Don Henley. There was a great sidebar in Guitar Player
years ago that detailed how he got his sound on that track - I've looked but
can't find the issue anymore.
For details on his current setup, check out last month's Guitar Player. As
you might expect, it's mainly vintage gear.

Check out the May 1999 issue of Guitar Player. There's a very good article
on Petty and Campbell which discusses their instruments and gear in detail,
as well as Campbell's home studio, where the Echo album was recorded. You
can't miss this one.......Tom & Mike are on the cover!

this album).........
