Oh yeah, these 80’s instruction videos that show you everything you can do on a guitar without actually showing you how to do it. I spent hours and hours destroying blockbusters vhs tapes because you had to stop and rewind every 2 seconds to see what they’re doing.
Blockbuster VHS.😂👍 Imagine how many times the greats had to buy albums, wear them out and share tips with their buddies just to learn one song somewhat correctly while tuning constantly!😎🤘
If you can't figure out what he's doing, you're not at the skill level to be watching this yet. He's not doing anything so fast that you can't figure it out by ear.
@@bumpyroad3251 The problem with youtube . Listening at.75 or .5 is better Singing it helps too Old ways, but are there any different ways? I never sit and watch the news on tv. Never did. I listen on the radio. Same content.
I wish Viv would start playing with a Floyd again, he was one of only a handful of guitarists who really had a unique and creative way of using it, the Riverdogs album was the apex of Vivian's more fluid style as he is playing here. Come on Viv, you don't have to use a Les Paul ALL the time! :)
I settle for at least bringing some of the speed back... Gary Moore never completely abandoned his speed, he just made it so much more soulful. Viv seems like he's completely abandoned it.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@@arigreen5845 I was a teenager in the 80s and I certainly would go back! So many genres were bursting into life back then, and there was so much energy, fun and experimentation. Every since the 80s it has been mostly a derivative or a sideways step IMHO, e.g. just more technical, faster, heavier etc but not NEW. Some people like to knock the 80s and call it "cheesy" but they forget that every decade was and is the same in that regard. The 80s had both the brilliant and the awful, same as any other era. However the current era in 2023 seems devoid of any genuinely inspired innovation or songwriting craft. They musicians out there are approaching writing from a mechanical and technological mindset. Perhaps most genres have run their course, and its time for people to step up and invent new ones?
@@richardayala3748Dio was the snob in that. More specifically, dios wife. But I've always been put off by Dios aloofness. I definitely believe vivs side of the story in that. Dio and wife were arrogant as anything.
I remember when Vivian first appeared with Def Leppard at the Mercury Tribute at Wembley. Honestly, I think he's a better lead, but respect his dedication as a Rhythm player. Either way he's a formidable player and extremely underrated musician.
What are you talking about? There is not a lead guitarist in Def Leppard, there never was… If anything, Steve Clark was the lead guitarist… And that is who Vivian Campbell plays and replaced… They are a guitar harmonizing band and always were whether it was Steve Clark and Pete Willis or Steve Clark and PC or now Vivian Campbell and PC just like they are a vocal harmonizing band… as such, Vivian Campbell plays the solos on Lovebites, the outro to women which they don’t play very much, rocket is a dual solo, he plays the solo to wasted which they hardly ever play… Let it go at least one of them, Saturday night high and dry at least one of them, too late for love which they don’t play very much… Armageddon it, bringing on the heartbreak, switch 625 is a dual harmonizing guitar peace… Hysteria is a dual harmonizing solo… On the other hand PC plays the solos on the album for rock of ages, photograph, foolin, rock rock….Which means naturally that PC is going to play those solos live…
@@mikeystarr1203 Vivian can play circles around PC, he just fills SC's role...so yes PC gets more solos in this band. Pete Willis was a lead guitarist, not just a "Harmonizer". The leads on all those early albums are better than anything since his release.
@@whip689 it’s not a competition. Every guitarist the band has ever had was both lead and rhythm. There’s even interviews where Joe Elliott introduces Vivian Campbell as lead guitarist… And then Co lead guitarist… PC plays the solos the PC played on the albums… Vivian Campbell plays the solos that Steve Clark played on the albums… They split the solos from Pete Willis… When they play live, they play most of their hits… Coincidentally most of their kids have PC playing the solos on the album recordings… So PC He’s going to play PC solos live… Vivian Campbell is going to play Steve Clark solos live… PC is not THE Lead guitarist… Vivian Campbell is not THE Rhythm guitarist… They actually play about the same percentage of solos live… It’s just a PC takes center stage shirtless in the spotlight for his solos thinking he’s some kind of virtual so… Vivian Campbell plays his solos in his corner of the stage perhaps because it’s too easy for him… Or perhaps because he had a hip replacement years ago… Or perhaps because he’s battling cancer for the last 10 years… Vivian is also a better singer, Steve Clark didn’t do much singing… Vivian Campbell always wanted to sing in the first place, and now he gets to do that… So he actually strengthened the bands vocal harmonies…That’s one of the reasons they hired Vivian Campbell because he’s a good singer… then you also have to realize that Joe Elliott and Rick savage decided many years ago did they did not want to be a hard rock band but more of a pop band… And by the time Vivian Campbell joined, the whole guitar hero thing was over with and outdated… But during the first two years of Vivian Campbell with Def Leppard 1992 in 1993, they each played about a 10 minute guitar solo in between songs…Now, neither one of them has their own solo spotlight in between songs… They are both co lead and Co rhythm guitar players in this band… And that’s the way Def Leppard has always been

@@whip689 Yeah, no. Collen has shared the stage with the likes of Satriani and Petrucci on G3 and held his own. Campbell is great, no doubt. But let's not get carried away. Both are fine players.
Vivian was always my favorite guitar player. Seen him recently at a show here in CT. Felt like I was 15 again because I had front row at the rail. Lol. When I first saw him he was with Dio and I believe they played with Twisted Sister. All the boys use to hop in cars/or my friends father Ford van and cruise to New Haven Or Hartford to see the bands. Seen Ozzy and Metallica and Jake E Lee was great also. Prior seen Oz with Brad Gillis which is another great one. A lot of great guitarists came out in the late 70’s and early 80’s ... EVH was blowing up stages with Dave .. Teddy Nugent played real loud!! So glad I was able to see the greats when they first came out. Always a Richie Blackmore fan ...
@@80sRocker that's amazing! The way he plays and bends with harmonics and fast runs..perfect notes scales.. I need a teacher like this because my progress on guitar has slowed right down once I got goodish..thanks for sharing this.

Always amazes me how the most important lesson is the one so many don't want to use - practice! They just want someone to wave a magic wand and make them a guitar god.
Look at that rack system! Totally 80s guitar rig. Yeee, a size 1 nut huh? I could not deal with that. I had a semihollow with that width nut (just a regular bone nut) and it made it feel like i was playing a pool cue or broomstick.
What a rack! I liked his tone best off the first Dio album when he was just playing a JCM800 with a Boss distortion pedal (orange one - DS1?) It's funny how now you can get an Ampero ii Stomp for $499 and get all these tones (although you will need an amp) :) just my 2c
This was everything I remembered! I lived through all of that, everyone was ditching their Fenders and Gibsons for Kramers and Charvels, and Tube Amps for rack Solid States. Pedals were out racks were in. We've come full circle on everything somehow.

@@vintagev8muscle721 The blue BC rich strat. Yeah that was kind of a weird lesson. The guitar had no fretboard markers, which I thought was very unsporting haha.

Viv is also one of the nicest and coolest guys I’ve met. Real genuine , not a stuck up snob like some other famous guitar players
