 Well its taken a little longer than planned/expected but I`ve finally finished it!! My stab at another "In the style of lesson" this time the fabulous Vivian Campbell!!  Vivian burst onto the scene with Dio way back in the mid 80`s when I`d not long been playing guitar, amongst a few others he climbed right to the top of the pile as one of my biggest influences in my early years of playing, he was just the kind of guitarist I wanted to be later on, loads of screaming harmonics and fast shredin runs  unfotunatly I`ve never quite managed to reach that kind of level but here I`ve given it my best shot and using (especially in the last third of this lesson) a few of his licks that appeared a lot during his time with Dio.Vivian is of course still a top guitarist and now resides with Def Leppard. on to the lesson and I hope you enjoy it, a lot of sweat and tears have gone into this one  Various keys, used throughout, starting in E, moving to G and the final part in Dm, I will add some fret boards as soon as I`ve finished them Main Video

Backing tracks (Quick note here, a big thanks to Andrew for re tracking the drums for me on the backing track and showing me the error of my ways by not using VST`s thanks mate)

From this lesson at the moment I am working on a couple of spin off lessons, one of them focusing on pinched harmonics. All the best and see you on the forums Chris This post has been edited by Smells: Nov 10 2008, 05:24 PM -------------------- |

The drums sound really crisp and just better than your previous videos - have you changed something about the way you made the backing track??

I click on it and it sounds like your playing at 10 beats per minute and then stutters and dies. I will try and view it somehow. I blame it on Quicktime. What a useless program.
